Your favorite depiction of an alien in a sci fi movie?

How about Vulcans - especially Mr. Spock and his dad?

 

Paranoids from the anime "Gal Force - Eternal Story"
Paranoids are basically can take the form of liquid that can be reshaped as needed by being poured into various machines.

 

Anyone else ever read the original story on which the movie was based?

 

that scared the crap out of me as a kid

 

No just heard about the author and the books. Very smart take on first contact.

 

I like an alien with a sense of humor...

 

Guild Navigator.......

 

Alien is my first choice, but ill take Roger from American dad, he cracks me up!

 

DO YOU KNOW WHAT THOSE LIGHTS MEAN??!?

Yes......Red means stop......Green means go.....Yellow means go faster!!!!!

Jeff Bridges in Starman - my favorite alien in a movie

 

You mean "Farewell To The Master"? Definitely ahead of it's time in depicting AI as something that might be necessary to 'keep the peace'.

 

Either way...they gonna make you pay!

 

The Outer Limits (TV), "Don't Open Until Doomsday"

 

The mutant in This Island Earth (1955); although he did seem to be wearing tight pants.

The mutants in Invaders from Mars (1953). But even creepier was the tentacled head in the globe.

Xtro (1982).

Gabriella Licudi in Unearthly Stranger (1963).

 

Featuring the late, great, Roddy Piper.
+1 on Brother From Another Planet.

 

Invaders from Mars was creepy all around, even to this day.

 

What about the visitations from the sentient ocean in Solaris (1972), talk about messing with your mind!

 

I'm surprised no one mentioned

I'm going to tell you about these Sci-fi monsters, they are pretty Scary!!!!

 

Like this one?

 

Yahhh, that's pretty cool. It reminds me of my first supervisor at my first job at a fast food joint. LOL, what film bro?

 

The Beach Ball alien in John Carpenter's "Dark Star"

 

"It Conquered The World". Referenced by Frank Zappa in the intro to his song "Cheapness".

 

"Damn it Jim I'm a doctor not a bricklayer."
The alien in question was supposed to be made from stone.
In reality it looked like spray painted crumpled up plastic with lights inside.

 

Sexiest alien ever....and no I don`t mean Robbie the Robot!

 

FZ:

"I'll tell you, a good one that I saw one time, I think the name of the film was "IT CONQUERED THE WORLD," and the. .. Did you ever see that one? The monster looks sort of like an inverted ice-cream cone with teeth around the bottom.

It looks like a (phew!), like a teepee or. .. Sort of a rounded off pup-tent affair, and, uh, it's got fangs on the base of it, I don't know why but it's a very threatening sight, and then he's got a frown and, you know, ugly mouth and everything, and there's this one scene where the, uh, monster is coming out of a cave, see?"

I love that movie and the creature...both awesome in their cheesiness...song is an all time favorite FZ tune too...
