411 Movies Feedback: What is the Best Film Involving Aliens?
Posted by Chad Webb on 11.07.2009
The movie-zone feedback continues. Share your opinion with 411!
Since The Fourth Kind arrives in theaters this week, I got to thinking about my favorite "alien" themed movies. This fall has quite a few of them landing in theaters.. That raises 411's Movie Feedback question...
What is the Best Film Involving Aliens?
Personally, I have always held up the 1977 masterpiece Close Encounters of the Third Kind as my favorite alien geared film. It gets everything right. The first two installments of the Alien franchise were great, but Steven Spielberg's epic made a more profound impact on me. The performances are terrific, the pacing is smooth, and it contains some truly mind-blowing images that still stick in my head. It was one of my first Blu-Ray sets that I bought, and someday I plan on watching all three version that are included.
So what is your opinion? What is your favorite film dealing with aliens? Do you think any films that will be released in 2009 might change your opinion?

You seem like the kind of guy that would be amused if you jangled your car keys in front of him and made silly noises..
I too would have to go with Aliens. One of the best ensemble casts ever.

Not only is it the best alien movie, it's probably one of the best guy movies ever made.
Posted By: Josh (Guest) on November 08, 2009 at 12:31 AM
Galaxy of Terror - This was a Roger Corman drive-in space horror flick from the early 80's...
The cast includes Ray Walston (My Favorite Martian), Zalman King (Blue Sunshine), Robert England (A Nightmare on Elm St.), Grace Zabrinski (Servants of Twilight), Edward Albert (The Domino Principle), Erin Moran (Happy Days) and Sid Haig (The Devils Rejects).
Joanie gets raped and dismembered by an alien, and shows off her ample bosoms. Its rough and gory.
