I believe this was a made for TV miniseries based on Bud Hopkins' abduction cases...very creepy flick...this was released approximately 1993

DOnt forget little ole independense day, and stargate, not to mention the first 6 star trek movies, or star wars movies (the original trilogy)

wow i bet he never heard of those!

anything that is a little less mainstream??? i have seen all the movies that were mentioned here.

The best scifi-flick is without doubt event horizont, but you dont see regular aliens more a anomaly.

You spent well over a G for that collection. Thats one collection I really want but i cant see paying 100$ for one season.

Stanley Kubrick's 2001 Space Odyssey and 2010 were good. I just recently saw 2010 for the first time and wasnt expecting much from it and ended up being pleasantly surprised...great sci-fi movie about first contact.

I've also been hearing great thing's about The Forgotten but havent seen it yet. My local Blockbuster video only has the DVD's for rent and I refuse to rent DVD's since they're always all scratched up.

Dont buy them in stores, too expensive. Amazon.com's got them for $74.99. That's where i got mine. I've got seasons 1,2,3, and 9. Someday I'll have 'em all.

How the hell did I forget those??? I'll echo that sentiment....great films, a little slow perhaps, but very realistically done...

And if you're a fan of the older movies there's 'The Day the Earth Stood Still'.

YA! Loved that flick! No I wasn't around when it was made. Big fan of Mars Attacks too. Hey, it could happen...

They were epic. Also Aliens & Resurrection, Predator I & II, Star Wars, Star Trek II & First Contact, and certainly *drop roll please* FARSCAPE!

A person of taste and discernment. Farscape IMO showed the difficulties of mixing different species together. The most interesting was when the crew came to Earth and the different attitudes that were displayed on the different aspects of our society.

enrage,
I bought all nine seasons on eBay for $228.00. They came from Hong Kong but the DVDs are in English and brand new. Some sets were even cheaper but customer feedback wasn't as good. I can't afford $1,000 for DVDs either.

Godzilla! He's an alien..er...something like...well he fights aliens!

then thats a good deal then

I think the movie Communion is the best representation of the abduction phenomenon, not to mention it has Christopher Walken in it

someone did their homework for that movie

Tune in to the "SciFi" station, you will see "art immitating life." The original SciFi movies are very good and too close to reality.

The 3 reasons I am terrified of any bigheaded-bigeyed-smallbodied aliens.

1. Communion
2. Fire In The Sky
3. Intruders.

Saw them all when i was quite yung. All between the ages of 9 and 12.

Those are the most "realistic" alien movies based on supposed real events in my opinion.

Intruders was by far the most detailed in that it brought up the grey's human-alien hybrid project.

Fire in the sky was the scariest to me in that it suggested that the aliens abducted people and sometimes kept them and experimented on them until death. (the part where he wakes up in the organic cell and in trying to escape finds a dead guy in another cell). Not to mention the actual experiments looked quite painful (the eye thing).

I think movies like mars attacks are so bad cause they ridicule ufology.
In fact, i really think movies about ufos and aliens are more negative for people than we think, because they make people think all this is just science fiction and only happens in movies.

I believe people are going to think that anyway, it's just their personal beliefs. Adults should be mature enough to understand a movie is just a movie.

Hoaxers, on the other hand, are extrememly hurtful to the Ufology community.

can't forget Starman...that was a great movie.

While there are some really crappy super cheesy ufo/alien movies I think youre missing the point of Mars Attacks.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think Mars Attakcs was actually developed from a series of pulp trading cards from the fifties that came out during the hey day of sort of the alien ufo b-movie cold war thing.

The movie was supposed to be cheesy and campy and over the top and stupid and all those things that it was. I for one think it's one of the funniest alien movies of all time.

Other funny alien movies to consider are Galaxy Quest, Earth Girls are Easy and of course Amazon Women from The Moon, which is only thinly alien based but truly a funny freaking movie from the mid eighties.

Though none of this stuff is based on real ufo cases like you asked, with all our helpless help you should be able to put a really great sci-fi film library together.
