This classic unspools like an extended episode of "Twilight Zone." At the movie's heart, the question: What if it turns out we're not the most intelligent or powerful species out there ... what if we were perceived as warring troublemakers? That's what seems to be the case when a spaceship arrives in Washington, D.C. with a message for the people o...
Writer H.G. Wells' impact on science fiction is undeniable, and allclassic film buffs (be they sci-fi nerds or romance lovers) should be sure to add this to their movie list. This 1953 classic, directed by Byron Haskin, made its mark when it became the first adaptation of Wells' 1898 novel and won an Academy Award for best visual effects in 1954. U...
The "man" who visits Earth in this trippy, languorous film is played by David Bowie, and that's enough for most people who check it out. It's a tragic tale of an alien who just wants to bring water to his drought-stricken planet and instead gets sidetracked by all-too-human vices (and government officials who are threatened by his presence). Showti...
Everyone's an alien in the "Star Wars" franchise, which started in 1977 with "Star Wars IV: A New Hope" and continues well into the present in movies and TV series. Since Earth isn't really a factor in this universe, that makes even the humans like Luke Skywalker, a farm boy turned space samurai tasked with saving the universe using a mental "force...
If you're concerned about the scare factor in this 1978 remake, you could always go back to the 1956 original, a pitch-perfect riff on the McCarthyism unfolding. But we prefer the grittier, star-studded remake (Donald Sutherland! Jeff Goldblum! Leonard Nimoy!) for the real alien touch. In sum: A gooey race of aliens move to Earth after their planet...
Within Steven Spielberg's alien movie canon, spacemen might scare us, but they're not truly dangerous. With "Close Encounters," Spielberg saves showing the little glowing guys until the very end, instead focusing on the way a UFO sighting seems to "call" people to a secret facility, where scientists and government officials line up to greet the int...
Yeah, you probably forgot that Superman, aka Clark Kent, aka Kal-El is actually an alien! As DeCandido notes, this 1978 film (and "to a lesser extent" its 1980 sequel "Superman II") is about "an alien learning to live among humans." DeCandido said it's a "great metaphor for immigration" as a result. Christopher Reeve plays a Kryptonian native tryin...
Feel free to get started on your next franchise obsession with the film that notes, "In space, no one can hear you scream." Essentially a haunted-house film that takes place among the stars, "Alien" is by turns dark, futuristic, cynical, horrific and terrifying. In the movie, a mining crew comes across a distress signal and investigates, unwittingl...
In his next foray into alien storytelling, Spielberg presents the tale of an abandoned botanist with long fingers and a transparent chest, big eyes and a quick ability to understand the English language. As with "Close Encounters," the alien in "E.T." means us no harm. The movie's kids naturally know that, but government officials are less sure. Be...
You gotta give the Starman (Jeff Bridges) credit: He really tries to fit in on Earth during his first visit. He assumes the body of a deceased loved one (freaking out the loved one's wife, Karen Allen), goes on a classic road trip (to send a message that he needs a pick up to get home), wins the lottery and has just enough of a relationship with Al...
