"In most cases, the aliens come here to kick our ass and take over earth, but in others they are benign, friendly, seeking to understand us and know us. To me those represent the finest such alien encounter films because they make the most sense. Why, with their vast intelligence, obviously vastly greater to ours, would they come here to destroy us? Why make themselves even known to us if they plan on killing us and wiping out humanity? Far more interesting is watching the two species figure out how to communicate, and seeing where things go from there. The more frightening the alien, the wilder the effects can be, and the director and editor have their work cut out for them, they must excel. Sadly most films of this ilk become action driven, mindless effects films with the connection of man-alien virtually forgotten. Below is the list of top movies about alien invasion and abduction ever." - thecinemaholic.com
