55 Best Alien Movies of All Time

Movies about aliens are captivating because they explore a question humanity has been pondering since it first looked up to the stars: Are we alone in the universe? The proposed answers to such a massive quandary are endless. Moreover, when we wonder what kind of species might be flying around the cosmos, we're actually dealing with our own hopes and fears. What if the aliens aren't very nice? What if they are nice, but we're too barbaric to see it? What if they provide the assistance we need to eliminate hunger, greed, and disease?
