Star wars (lots of aliens in there.....)

Alien (all 4)

Predator (another one come's out this summer)

Enemy mine

ET

Independence day

War of the worlds (original)

Invasion of the body snatchers (original)

Dreamcatcher

The thing

The fifth element

Star Trek (almost all of them)

Species

The last Starfighter

District 9 his too recent for me to put in my list, but still I liked it!

These are my favorites/classics,  but a few more come to my mind that I liked and probably a few didn't like:

I come in peace

The arrival

Starship troopers

Total recall

The Abyss

Starman

Signs

Oh and the list could go on and on...!

It ended so suddenly though that it was hardly believable.

Same with Star Wars Chapter Six. Yeah right, like a bunch of teddy bears could have beat up all those stormtroopers and rigged those big heavy logs that bush whacked those huge tall walking robots.

You have to start drawing the line when a couple of these movies get so darn unrealistic.

Star trek worked for me, until earth dudes from present day could board the enterprise and get it to make them something from the 20th century, and it'd make it.

When all starfleet captains faught the same way as per "capt. school" somewhere, in which they taught them how to karate chop an alien in the middle of their back, and then they'd drop unconscious. Have Kirk try that shit on me, and I'm getting right back up and snap that girdle that they made him wear in the latter episodes when Shatner got fat.

Kurt Russell's The Thing was great.

The one from '51, not so good.

Does the Blob count as an alien? Looking forward to Rob Zombie's remake.
