Your favorite alien movie? [View all]

Last edited Mon Jun 15, 2015, 02:11 PM - Edit history (1)

I loved Alien, Close Encounters, The Day The Earth Stood Still (Original), Contact, and a few others,

but my favorite is Fire in the Sky, which is based on a real incident.
James Garner is the only known "Hollywood" actor in it,
but all the other actors do a superb job.
A great film, IMO.
