Directed by Roland Emmerich
While "Independence Day" will be used by critics from time to time as the poster child for bad, high-grossing movies, I'm not sure I agree with that simple meanness. While the mediocre plot, cheap climax, and numerous holes are certainly shortcomings, I can't help but admit that this is indeed a maddening movie, and the audience can enjoy the grandiose stunt scenes without having to bear too much psychological burden: giant alien spaceships being blown up, real targets on land being destroyed, and the chaotic scenes of human beings being terrified and in disbelief...
What's more, I'm not sure if I can agree with you, but I think it's a good thing that the movie has been so successful. ... starring Will Schmitz and Jeff Goldblum
These are the things UFO fans dream of seeing. But it's not the high-budget stunts or the mediocre acting of Will Schmidt or Jeff Goldblum that make this movie worthwhile; it's the fact that aliens and humans are finally confronting each other openly instead of spreading horror, and that's like the difference between targeting the White House and starting to bomb it. sell for a shockingly good price.

"Skyfall Armageddon Strikes Back"
Directed by Byron Haskin
Finally, it's the turn of the best of the best, the "War of the Worlds"! "! This movie may not be considered the best movie on the list, but it's more than anything else. It's based on the novel of the same name by H.G. Wells. The novel is the gobbledygook of the alien invasion of Earth, and was actually believed by countless listeners when it was played on the radio on Halloween 1938, creating a major panic. Both the novel and the movie are quite good, but like Invader of the Body Snatchers, Skyfall Strikes Back is guilty of political metaphors: the aliens in the movie are reminiscent of the Soviets at every turn. But if even that minor flaw makes you uncomfortable, it's almost safe to say there's no right movie in the world for you to watch. Starring Gene Barry, Anne Robinson
The Martians, unable to survive a sudden change in the Martian climate, plan a major invasion of Earth, organizing a massive army of impenetrable aliens. All the weapons of mankind can't deal with the Martians' death light cannons, cities fall one by one, people all over the world are fleeing for their lives, and the whole Earth is in chaos. At this time, the Martians are dying one by one. ...... The movie has preserved the spirit of Wells' novel in its entirety - knowing that the novel has been worshipped as a treasure by countless movies, it has inherited the spirit of Wells in its entirety, and not only captures the fear of mankind in the face of alien attack, but also the fear of the alien army. It not only captures the panic of human beings in the face of alien attack, but also explains the helplessness and despair of our inner world. The movie later gradually replaced the novel in people's hearts, almost evolved into a science fiction model, resulting in countless children and grandchildren novels and movies and cartoons.

KILLER CLOWNS FROM OUTER SPACE
Directed by Stephen Chiodo
There are two ways to make a movie about an alien invasion: with a light touch or a heavy hand. There are no shortcuts in this, nor is it possible to skate around it. Unfortunately, Killer Clowns From Outer Space is still trying to find a middle ground, and they've chosen the "circus" as their intermediary. Imagine a grand conspiracy involving a bunch of clown-suited alien midgets wreaking havoc on Earth, turning humans into sizzling, glittering marshmallows with their laser ray guns - other than to dazzle, few will be able to get into the plot and really understand it. Produced by The Chiodo Brothers
In fact, "The Killing Clowns from Outer Space" is a strongly surrealistic film, hardly entertaining, and with a less than eye-catching central theme, so it's a little less likely to make you sit down and watch the movie in peace. And for most people, if a movie about an alien clown isn't funny at all, what's there to watch? Luckily, though, out of a whole bunch of later movies with similar themes, this one is considered excellent.

Man in Black
Directed by Barry Sonnenfeld. Sonnenfeld
One of the biggest regrets about Men in Black is that they didn't take full advantage of the high budget to make a really decent extra-terrestrial creature - I would have liked to have seen something more creative than a giant CG cockroach spirit. Of course the movie still gives us enough to make up for it - just look at all the interstellar inhabitants of mixed good and evil, of all sizes. The lead actor, Will Smith, is one of those Hollywood movie stars of the era. Smith was the signature cash cow of the Hollywood movie industry in those days, along with Tommy Lee Smith, who was the most popular actor in the world. The movie is a great success, and the collaboration with Tommy Lee Jones adds to the performance. The acting was made even more believable by his collaboration with Tommy Lee Jones. Starring Will Smith Will Smith, Tommy Lee Jones Lee Jones.
The movie nearly recouped its entire cost of $90 million in its first week of release. This performance puts "Men in Black" and its sequel "Alien in the Dark" at the top of the list of Hollywood movies that broke first-week box office records. I'll admit that this is just a movie for amusement, something to chew on popcorn while we heckle and giggle our way through it, but I'm pretty sure that none of those who shelled out the money to see it were disappointed.

"V"
Everything that can be said about "V" has already been allowed to be said. It's an evergreen TV miniseries that has enjoyed the most enduring success, with a huge fanbase and an alternative and unique plot that has been referenced over and over again in countless films and TV productions. V tells the story of a group of greedy and despicable aliens (whose greed and despicability is on par with that of some humans) who come to Earth and conspire to plunder our planet's resources. Then by virtue of a few mortal heroes discovering and exposing their plot, the disaster is stopped in time and the aliens are eventually expelled. Nowadays, few people talk about this 20-year-old TV series with much gusto, but there's always something interesting to be discovered about this classic of touching plots and cool looks, if one is so inclined.

"UFOs in the Sky/Orphaned Worlds"
Directed by Joseph Newman (Jack Arnold)
Believe it or not, in Mystery Science Theater 3000 (MST), the world's most popular movie, "The World of the Flying Saucers," the first to be released in the U.S., a series of episodes that were made for the first time. Science Theater 3000, or MST3K for short, is a famous American science fiction TV theater show) pays public tribute to The Lonely Planet, the movie barely gets a mention. While the sci-fi horror films of the '50s were dull and unimaginative, The Island World stood out among the clichés - not really an "invasion" movie, but for the unique and creative alien character --The Metaluna are not even remotely like humans, they have a huge brain (or maybe it's better to say brain, you can see the grooves ...... ) Starring Jeff Morrow and Faith Domergue
These aliens are suspicious-looking and have girlish white hair. These aliens have come a long way to Earth to find their lost civilization with the help of Earth scientists. A lot of unimportant things happen, such as humans tracking flying saucers, explosions and so on. The key conflict is that the Earth's mortals fall victim to the Metaluna aliens and are repeatedly tortured by a group of monsters with deformed heads, exposed internal organs, claw-like arms and legs, and exaggerated goldfish eyes. This image undoubtedly gave us a strong visual shock, although the film was long forgotten in the dusty corners, but did not affect its important position in the history of science fiction film.

The Day the Earth Stood Still
Directed by Robert Wise
The movie has very little to say about the invasion, but that doesn't stop it from being one of the most iconic films in science fiction history. It's one of the most iconic landmark movies in sci-fi history. It's hard to believe that Robert Wise, best known for The Sound of Music, would ever make a movie that was so "world-weary". Set in the aftermath of World War II, Michael Rennie stars as Klaatu, a humanized, highly intelligent alien who arrives on Earth in a flying saucer, accompanied by Gort, a robotic bodyguard with terrifying powers. They warn of the threat of war and are willing to communicate peacefully with the humans, not realizing that the Earthlings see them as enemies. But they're not to be messed with, and are just as likely to do terrible things once they're provoked by the humans. Cast: Michael Rennie, Patricia Neal
The years have gone by, but the core spirit of the film shines through. Hitchcock's royal composer Bernard Herrmann's somber score adds to the mix. Even the robot Gort's line "Klaatu barada nikto" - meaning "Don't blow up the world" - is a classic. It's a pretty important turning point in the history of sci-fi, and much of it has been quoted or referenced in countless films since. There's no denying that it takes some patience to get through this movie, as today we've been so distracted by the number of movies that have been made in the name of nothing that we've lost our sense of discernment. A good movie like "The Day the Earth Stood Still" is one that needs to be quiet and savored.

The Omen
Directed by Nate Shyamalan
I had very low expectations for The Omen, but strangely watched the whole movie with great interest. I'm not sure what it was about this movie that appealed to me so much, maybe its perfect entertainment? -- Nothing uniquely imaginative, and it doesn't seem to use any brain power. Mel Gibson plays Graham Hayes, an ordinary farmer in a small town in Philadelphia, U.S.A. When he and his family wake up one morning, they accidentally find a series of huge ring-like patterns in their cornfield (which the recent Scary Movie 3 also poked fun at) Starring Mel Gibson Rory Culkin
Looking like the tracks of an alien spaceship landing, soon all over the world Soon there were rumors of mysterious patterns appearing overnight all over the world, and this is just the kind of thing that appeals to people's curiosity: maybe it's a bunch of long, skinny, tall, green creatures retaliating against mankind's devastation of the planet. ...... In terms of the movie itself, The Omen is a little bit of an oxymoron, and a little bit light on its feet, and it's not really worth a look. "But it does reflect how the theory of an alien attack on Earth spreads among people, and there are only a handful of movies like this in the history of science fiction movies, so the movie is also "rare and valuable".

Contact with the Future
The theme of this movie is the search for extraterrestrial life, which is actually a search for oneself, and a kind of self-affirmation.
"For a long time, I've wondered why we're here, who we really are," says the movie's author. "We have found that contact with each other fills the empty, lonely hearts of people ...... This has been true for billions of years, and wouldn't it be a waste of space if we were the only ones in the universe?"
-These words, I should say, clearly indicate the main theme of the movie. It's not something you'd expect to find in your average "retarded" sci-fi movie.
