POLL: Best Alien Movie of All Time?

I though it'd be fun to share our favorites in honor of the recent UFO sighting.

District 9 (2009)
From the moment its trailer began, I was hooked. I loved this movie so much I once watched it three times over the span of 48 hours. It was during the holiday break. Don't judge me.

From the moment its trailer began, I was hooked. I loved this movie so much I once watched it three times over the span of 48 hours. It was during the holiday break. Don't judge me.
This Spielberg classic was one of the first blockbuster alien movies of its generation. I grew up knowing the "six-tone" musical communication from the movie before I even knew who Steven Spielberg was.
I was too afraid to actually watch Alien until I graduated from college. My parents told me stories of its suspense and boy were they right. After finally watching it a few years ago, it immediately became my favorite "scary" alien movie. Wall-E is obviously omitted from that category.
Ranked as one of my all-time favorite movies, the Star Wars trilogy is often forgotten as an "alien movie," but even the human-like characters of Han Solo or Luke Skywalker can be labeled as alien.
Even though I was only 9 when this movie came out, I still consider it one of those films that I'll drop everything to watch if it's on television.

During the weekend, flashing lights were seen “hovering” in the Severn sky.

As discussed here at Severn Patch, the report was filed to the Mutual UFO Network and after posting the story to Facebook, at least six others claim to have seen the unidentified object in the sky.

Whether you believe in UFOs or think it’s a bunch of nonsense, there’s no denying that movies with extraterrestrials are entertaining.

I’ve selected my top five favorite alien movies and posted their trailers above in no particular order. What do you think is the best alien movie of all time?

Independence Day should run away with this. Such a good movie.

"Aliens," the sequel to "Alien" is tops in my book. So I voted for "other."
