I was disappointed with Disclosure Day, but I loved The Day the Earth Blew Up.

The thread doesn’t have a lot of shows yet, so I’m gonna recommend Resident Alien with Alan Tudyk. He plays the awkward alien so well it’s unreal. The show mixes humor and drama really well. Made me laugh while giving me solid characters to root for.
this show is top tier, one of my favorites. I met one of the writers during the writers strike and I thanked her for her contribution.
That’s awesome! Do you work in that field or met at en event or something?
i work in post production, so tangential
They Live is pretty good.
Arrival and District 9 show the ships at some point, so do they count as UFO movies? If yes, then those two.
these rock
Does Invader Zim count by any chance?
for sure
Close Encounters of the Third Kind
Batteries Not Included
I won’t try to convince anyone that it’s “good”, but I caught a re-run of the original V movie and series in the 2000s (probably around the time the Sci-Fi channel revived it) and I quite liked it.
2001 Space Odyssey and Arrival for me
Plan 9 from outer space. Its bad
Others I haven’t seen mentioned, yet:
- The Man Who Fell to Earth
Iirc, American Horror Story season 2 did UFOs/alien abductions.
is it good?
I don’t remember, it’s been a long time since i’ve seen it.
The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951) has a great story and overall message. Sure, there are some corny bits (like the kid), but I think some of them were intentional. People forget that sarcasm and parody have existed for centuries.
Amongst more recent movies, I found UFO Sweden to be remarkably good: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt14807348/
“The day the earth stood still” still holds up
Mars Attacks! is always a hoot
Independence Day has a lot of great moments
Can’t forget X-Files and ET as well
I guess I never realized how many of these I liked haha
Also this bonus Pixar short, Lifted: https://youtu.be/LVLoc6FrLi0
ACK ACK ACK
The X-files is still a solid TV show after all these years. And the music is nice too.
Yeah, I rewatched a load of it not too long ago and it’s still really good. Plus it’s fun to look back and spot all the famous faces. Some I can remember off the top of my head: Seth Green, Jack Black, that guy Ribisi, Bokeem Woodbine, Bryan Cranston, the guy that plays Dr Romero in ER, Luke Wilson. Probably loads more I’ve forgotten.
Mars Attacks!
It’s not unusual to find it referenced here.
Also:
- Signs
- MiB
Marvin the Martian
love marvin!
