Movies about Greys, there are none.

reply to post by freelance_zenarchist


Were more energy beings than Grays, but yes, certainly had a lot of similar traits, so pretty decent example. I think most film-makers want theirs to stand out, so they avoid the common "Grey" image, and instead change it up some...

X-Files was more about the conspiracy itself, than the Greys, and there was almost no depiction of them in the film...

I mentioned Official Denial, as the whole film is basically about the relationship of a Grey and a human, who is trying to help him. Like ET, but with a Grey and an adult. (was a TV movie though, but still pretty decent, and it's on DVD).

ahhh Gazrok I was trying to make a funny.
I wasn't referring to the energy beings,
I was talking about these greys



Anyway, as for what the OP was saying about there's no movies with grey aliens...

I think it's kind of silly, especially when he just takes a movie like Fire in the Sky or Communion and says no, can't include this one...

When I think of movies with greys Communion and Fire in the Sky come to mind right away, but I think the reason why there aren't more big Hollywood blockbuster movies about grey aliens has more to do with issues of intellectual property and character design than the greys being to "alien to depict accurately in a film". It's been done before.

Let's examine the common attributes:
1. Lack of emotion
2. Little to no speaking (even through telepathy)
3. Not exactly terrifying (short, no fierce teeth, claws, etc.)
4. All they seem to do is observe or medical exams...hardly exciting

Simply put, these guys don't really offer up a great movie character...so it doesn't surprise me they aren't more center-stage.

I totally agree with you on this. You can only do that classic shot of the viewer laying on the operating table, looking up at the bright white light while balloon headed aliens lean in overhead so many times before it loses all of it's shock value.

Guess it's just me;

Always thought E.T. was very grey-esque - just given a bit of a PG makeover.

Oversized head & eyes (made more human-like for the kiddies), long skinny fingers, weak & frail body, predominately silent & benevolent (ok that's up for debate).

The movie "Night Skies" is all about greys (phoenix lights).

The Fourth Kind, Area 51 and Paul are 3 recent alien movies featuring greys....

Whitley Stribers book The Grays about his experiences is set to become a movie;

Communion and Fire in the sky are rather greyish

I don't know if they were mentioned, but I think there's this "new" movie called "Paul" about a Grey who escaped from Area 51 (just a comedy movie) and the mini TV series "Taken" by Steven Spielberg included Greys.

Paul is about a gray.
The 4th kind is about grays
Communion is about grays
Fire in the sky is about grays
close encounters was indeed about grays.
oops almost forgot Dreamcatcher.

I think this movie is about grey aliens...

greysmovie.com...

Wasnt close encounters about greys?

But if you mean a movie solely showing greys and have them up front i dont think there is one.Closest there is i believe its "The intruders"
