Top Ten Tuesdays

[Nosferatu@Cult Labs]

In alphabetical order:

• The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951)
• District 9
• E.T. The Extra Terrestrial
• Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978)
• The Iron Giant
• The Man Who Fell to Earth
• Phantasm (The Tall Man is an alien, isn't he?)
• Repo Man
• They Live
• The Thing (1987)

I chose to omit Arrival and Close Encounters of the Third Kind because the aliens aren't really 'among us' like they are in the the films on my list. Also, I didn't want to do comic book/superhero films, so no Superman or Howard the Duck films.

Honourable mentions for Under the Skin, Attack the Block, Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956), Little Shop of Horrors (1986) and Starman.

Genuine forehead slap moment. Of course! Love that film, even though it absolutely ruins me.

I haven't seen Starman, which is ridiculous. Some other cool-sounding stuff I haven't seen, too. Xtro was always a "What the hell is this nonsense?" on the video shelf, but I might give it a watch now!

1. The Thing
2. District 9
3. E.T.
4. Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978)
5. The Iron Giant
6. Signs
7. Lilo & Stitch

Honorable mention to Suburban Commando and Species because childhood.

I've seen a grand total of two of those (I think!) and didn't think much of them to be honest. Political thrillers aren't really my cup of tea and I have a strong feeling that I will majorly struggle with this week's topic. Still, I'll do some digging and see what I can come up with.
