My only problem is....we always win! :mad:
I liked to see a movie without the Hollywood happy ending, where we get our ass kicked and lose!
I mean, if aliens did come don't to start some sh*t we'd totally get pwned!

The version from 2001 with Mark Wahlberg and the planet of the apes 2 from 1968,dont think they have made a remake of that one yet though.

I've always preferred the Independance Days and Cloverfields when it comes to invasion flicks. We win at the end of the day, but there's a hell of a mess to clean up and not everyone makes it.

Really looking forward to Battle: Los Angeles.

id never heard of the alien 5 film before. i wonder how thats going to work.

while not on aliens the book "world war z" would be a great film!

Monsters looks pretty good.

Well, in The Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy the aliens "won" in the first ten minutes ... not that that made life any easier for Ford Prefect. :cool:

Thing with Cloverfield is that it's still debatable about whether or not we won.

El Guapo!

Independance Day always stands out as a classic.
I enjoyed the concept of "The day the earth stood still" but didnt like the casting. Maybe thats just because I,m not the biggest fan of Keanu Reeves!
I absolutely hated "War of the worlds". I just thought it was a dire movie in almost every way.

war of the worlds was good untill tim robins showed up , independance day was crap all the way through

You kids won't know it but Invasion (1966) is a nice little film on this theme. Saw it as a child and one scene always stuck with me even after I had long forgotton which film it came from, so I got a surprise when I caught it about 2 years ago in BBC2.

And one cannot overlook another British minor classic from the same year

Monsters looks like a D-9 / Cloverfield rip, but Ill still watch it.

Some great looking sci-fi to sink our teeth into... Battle: Los Angeles looks like the top dawg but I really do hate Michelle Rodrigeuz!!
