51 Movies About Aliens You Need to Watch Now (Looper)

Otherworldly beings might finally have humankind's attention after recent federal reports were released by the Pentagon validating unidentified flying objects in United States airspace stretching back decades. Extraterrestrials have sparked our imaginations for ages as we ponder the existence of life among the stars. The idea that we aren't alone in the universe is entirely feasible, which makes one wonder — what would alien beings be like? Would they be friendly or hostile? In appearance, would they be humanoid-like figures, or could they be far more monstrous?
These sorts of questions have been probed extensively in the film industry. Sometimes, the only way to wonder what could be is to present it to the masses as entertaining cinema. Often, the presence of aliens stokes viewers' anxiety due to frequently being depicted as invaders or conquerors. Harrowing tales of surviving alien hostilities certainly make some of the most thrilling and engaging stories.
