What if you are watching a movie that has characters other than people? A movie featuring aliens with weird heads, abnormal eyes, multiple limbs, and other strange attributes always entices the audience with its plot and cinematography. Aliens don’t have to spend much time on screen to be part of the film’s message. They create an impression, even if it’s the anxiety of wondering what it is in ‘Alien’ or the trying-to-make-sense-of-it-all in contact. Literally and figuratively, aliens are out of this world.
We have been making films about creatures from different planets. So, you have got classic green men, standard bulb-headed grey guys, shark-toothed predators, mild ultra-intelligent champs: we have done them all. Whatever their physical structure, aliens are a means of forcing humans to look at themselves. Their needs and bodies show up our strengths and weaknesses. Occasionally it’s our capability to cooperate in a crisis; sometimes, it’s just that we don’t have as many teeth as we could do in a battle situation. Here are some best alien movies ever to land on this planet. So, these movies should always be a good bet whenever you want a glimpse into another world.
