Independence Day? Can that be considered an alien flick?

Edit: Oh Rocker mentioned it, too.

And yeah Starship Troopers is cool, too. :)

Of course all of the Alien series are bonafied classics. The new Predators was pretty good. Independence day. E.T. is the greatest of all time. I also like Fire in the Sky. Totally creeped me out when I first saw it:



There are more but those hit me first.
 
Original, or remake? I know I'll take shit for this, but I prefer the remake. I know the guy who did the music, and the music makes the film.

Do the Star Trek movies count? I always enjoy those...

I think the first one stands above the 4 sequels, TV series or the remake.

I think of the Star Trek movies as off shoots to the TV series. They were good, but not great and if you don't know the TV shows they really can't stand on their own.

For the EMPEROR!!
The "Alien" and "Predator" films are some of my favourites. But some others that aren't bad are -
The Fifth Element
Pitch Black (The Chronicles of Riddick as well)
The Ghosts of Mars
Event Horizon
 
Alien I and The Thing (sequels are crap imo ); The Andromeda Strain - brilliant . Invasion of the body snatchers. The Fly .
 
Skyline and Battle LA
