Ill say I actually liked a movie from the 80s called Enemy mine.
Maybe not exactly what this thread is about but I enjoyed none the less.
However I also liked Contact but the book was far better.
Close encounters of the 3rd kind was not bad, but I think they should do a remake. Steven spielberg just annoys me with his signature films.

EnemyMine that's the one where they are both stranded and the alien has a baby, right?

I like The Thing and that one where the saucers plug themselves into the wall and save the apartment building.

Close Encounters
Fire in the sky
K-pax
Event Horizon
Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy
Star Wars (most anyway)
Screamers

Just some right off the top of my head. I'm sure there's others.

I can't believe the lack of support for Star Wars! Go Boba!

CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND BLU RAY 30th anniversary collectors edition!!!! "do,do do,do, dooooo"

M KNIGHT SHAMALANS "SIGNS" with Mel Gibson! "Swing away!"

CONTACT with jody foster.."Why have one, when you can have two at twice the price!" - s.r. Hadden

Taken was outstanding. Aliens, for the action "Somebody wake up hicks", Contact is very good as well.

Not sure if Cloverfield counts or not, since it's never really established that the monster is an alien or not. Sure looks like one though

Where do I start 44OO was real good, to bad the show got taken off for some reason. That being a series.k

Invasion, w/ nicole kidman was, good just a remake of invasion of the body snatchers.

The Forgotten.

Xfiles Super Soldiers mythology series, that was good.

E.T.

Critters

TommyKnockers Steven King

War of the Worlds remake with Tom Cruise was good.

Kevin Spacey, K-PAX.

A good kids movie W.A.L.L.E

Cocoon.

Batteries not included.

Andromeda Strain. More scientific of microbiology affecting a town. Very good movie.

Mission to Mars, Enjoyed that one.

Space odessy was alright.

EnemyMine

The Cube or Cube can't remember.

The Day The Earth Stood Still, Old but a briilliant piece of work.

Am I the only one who thinks the old 1850s and 60s movies are better than the new, totally reliant on computer generated effects, modern day movies?
My favourites are-
First Men In The Moon.
Invasion Of The Body Snatches.
Star Wars.
Quatermass And The Pit.
And my all time favourite... The Thing From Another World. John Carpenter remade it as "The Thing". Does anyone remember it?

Fifth Element
Dune
First Contact
Star Wars: Empire Strikes Back

Fifth Element was awesome just because it was so different...kind of in a hysterical over the top way. Some good movies here that I forgot about, I'm gonna have to make a run to the movie store later
