Alien is a science fiction horror and action media franchise centered on the original film series which depicts warrant officer Ellen Ripley ( Sigourney Weaver) and her battles with an extraterrestrial lifeform, commonly referred to as the Alien ("Xenomorph"), and the prequel series following the exploits of the David 8 android ( Michael Fassben...
- Alien vs. Predator. Release date: August 13, 2004. Cast: Sanaa Lathan, Raoul Bova, Lance Henriksen. After a failed AvP project which was developed in the 90s, Shane Salerno’s script set the action in (back then) present day: 2004.
- Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem. Release date: December 25, 2007. Cast: Steven Pasquale, Reiko Aylesworth, John Ortiz. 20th Century Fox’s (now Studios) second go at AvP was met with abysmal reviews and a cold shoulder from most fans, although it delivered enough unrestrained nastiness and refreshing in-universe concepts to get diehard fans talking.
- Prometheus. Release date: June 1, 2012. Cast: Noomi Rapace, Michael Fassbender, Charlize Theron. The first of the Alien prequels by original director Ridley Scott starts in 2089 (prologue aside), with archaeologists Elizabeth Shaw (Noomi Rapace) and Charlie Holloway (Logan Marshall-Green) discovering an ancient star map on Earth that sends them – backed by the Weyland Corporation – to the distant moon LV-223, where they arrive in December 2093.
- Alien: Covenant. Release date: May 12, 2017. Cast: Michael Fassbender, Katherine Waterston, Billy Crudup. Once again, the second Alien prequel kicks off with a distant prologue which teases future events and discoveries.
- Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956 and 1978) If you favor the later renditions of Invasion of the Body Snatchers, we don't blame you. And it may be cheating to double up on our list's first entry, but the 1978 version (featuring Brooke Adams, Donald Sutherland, Jeff Goldblum, Leonard Nimoy, and Veronica Cartwright) is one of the rare examples of a remake living up to the legacy of its predecessor, which is all the more impressive when you consider the magnitude of industry legend Robert Wise's original.
- The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951) The Day the Earth Stood Still is another alien movie that endures the test of time because it consistently reflects the fractured world around us.
- The Blob (1958) Cinema painted small town America in the 1950s as pristine and well-ordered, making suburbia an obvious target for an alien blitz. Irvin Yeaworth's sci-fi horror film The Blob, which attacked theaters in 1958, was happy to upend the neat organization of the post-war era with an amorphous villain who rode in on a meteorite and proceeded to consume anyone and anything unlucky enough to cross its path.
- 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) While it baffled many critics at the time, Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey is an undisputed classic of not just science-fiction but pop culture as a whole.
