The 40+ Best Alien Movies of All Time According to Entertainment Weekly

"There's something undeniably special about alien movies. In the hands of the right writers and directors, these genre films are the perfect canvases for portraits of humanity, evolution, and morality. Sometimes, they take the form of romantic visions about discovering true worth. Other times, they're vivid epics that see man fighting for his life against other worldly invaders, tales of pure-hearted and unlikely friendships, or mind-boggling visual feasts where dense metaphors are the main course. In short, there's no single type of alien movie, though many similar themes echo throughout these science-fiction sagas. Across multiple decades and countless interpretations, here's EW's list of the best alien movies of all time." - ew.com
