Named as one of the best remakes in history, this reawakening of the 1956 movie became an instant classic. It\u2019s the pinnacle of aliens among us, even though it has been considered to have political undertones and an allegory of communism. The directors said that all those symbols were unintentional and that their purpose was to create a thrilling alien invasion movie. It\u2019s not big on explosions, but it\u2019s a subtle infiltration, which makes it all the scarier. Aliens taking over humans and becoming emotionless creatures? Don\u2019t look too hard into it.<\/p>\n
Independence Day<\/h2>\n![\"independence](\"http:\/\/www.thisblogrules.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/independence-day.jpeg\")

Another classic movie that has gone far in the minds of the audience. In fact, there\u2019s a sequel coming up, though it remains to be seen if it will stand up to the original. Unlikely, but we\u2019ll give it a fair chance. Unlike Invasion of the Body Snatchers, this particular alien invasion has no subtlety about it. It\u2019s done through brute force, compelling the nation to stand together against their attacker. It also has one of the most iconic scenes of the White House\u2019s destruction in history.<\/p>\n
Mars Attacks!<\/h2>\n![\"mars](\"http:\/\/www.thisblogrules.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/mars-attacks.jpg\")
Photo courtesy of Warner Bros.<\/p><\/div>\n
Sure, the aliens don\u2019t look like much if you\u2019re watching this movie today. However, Mars Attacks! is an iconic depiction of an alien invasion movie. It\u2019s the peek example, riddle with creepy-looking aliens, dark humor, and a star-studded cast that were at the beginning of their careers. It\u2019s a movie you will certainly never forget. You do get to see Sarah Jessica Parker\u2019s head on the body of a Chihuahua. Try to take that image out of your head.<\/p>\n
The Faculty<\/h2>\n![\"the](\"http:\/\/www.thisblogrules.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/the-faculty.jpg\")
Photo courtesy of Dimension Films<\/p><\/div>\n
We don\u2019t need no education.<\/em> If you\u2019ve seen this movie, it\u2019s unlikely that you cannot associate\u00a0it with Pink Floyd\u2019s \u201cAnother Brick in The Wall (Part II)\u201d. The combination has brought both the movie and the hit song amazing popularity. The Faculty is another iconic depiction of an alien invasion done more subtly, as high schoolers battle the takeover of their school. These are truly kids who should be scared of their teachers.<\/p>\nMen in Black<\/h2>\n![\"men](\"http:\/\/www.thisblogrules.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/men-in-black.jpg\")
Photo courtesy of Columbia Pictures<\/p><\/div>\n
A different kind of movie that does count as an alien invasion. And who hasn\u2019t heard of Men in Black? Or their trademark futuristic gadgets? The difference is that many aliens in this particular movie already live among us. Some do it peacefully while others have ill intentions. It almost sounds like actual humans, doesn\u2019t it? And who will be there to protect us? The men in black.<\/p>\n
Alien Vs. Predator<\/h2>\n![\"alien](\"http:\/\/www.thisblogrules.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/alien-versu-predator.jpg\")
Photo courtesy of 20th Century Fox<\/p><\/div>\n
Humans should\u2019ve really, really stayed out of it. Two of the most iconic aliens in pop-culture battle it out against each other. The premise isn\u2019t the actual alien invasion as they reign down on us from the skies. It\u2019s that aliens had already invaded us a long, long time ago. It depicts the powerful Predator as an almighty species, where Scott Ridley\u2019s aliens are a major trial in their lives, a test they have to pass. It does explain how the Predators became such an exquisite example of peak\u2026 well, predators.<\/p>\n
Pacific Rim<\/h2>\n![\"pacific](\"http:\/\/www.thisblogrules.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/pacific-rim.jpg\")
Photo courtesy of Warner Bros.<\/p><\/div>\n
Aliens versus robots? Bring it on. Pacific Rim was arguably one of the best alien invasion movies in recent times. It was highly praised by critics and remarkably received by the public. It\u2019s fun, loud, destruction, and actually had a very interesting storyline that kept the audience wanting more. And it\u2019s certainly coming. The sequel, Pacific Rim 2, is currently in the works.<\/p>\n
The Avengers<\/h2>\n![\"the](\"http:\/\/www.thisblogrules.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/the-avengers.jpg\")
Photo courtesy of Marvel Studios<\/p><\/div>\n
Out of the movies on this list, this is definitely the one that earned the most, shattering box office records. And, funnily enough, it\u2019s not the first movie that comes to people\u2019s minds when they think of an \u2018alien invasion movie\u2019. But that\u2019s exactly what it is. It is indeed a superhero movie, a pretty important one that bands most of Marvel\u2019s most famous heroes together, but they are battling aliens seeking to destroy our world. So, it definitely counts.<\/p>\n
Transformers<\/h2>\n![\"first](\"http:\/\/www.thisblogrules.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/tranformers.jpg\")
Photo courtesy of Paramount Pictures<\/p><\/div>\n
The franchise became wildly popular in spite of the fact that it was viciously criticized by virtually everyone. It\u2019s making money, and everyone knows about it. No one said a movie had to be good to be popular. The Transformers franchise took off with a blast, coming out with big sales, and enough prequels to make a pretty long marathon if you’re planning a movie night. And it\u2019s not stopping. Transformers 5 will be coming out next year.<\/p>\n
Man of Steel<\/h2>\n![\"man](\"http:\/\/www.thisblogrules.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/man-of-steel.jpg\")

Yes, this certainly counts as an alien invasion movie, in spite of the fact that we have a superhero alien fighting on our side. Man of the Steel was the first installment of the rebooted Superman that established Henry Cavill as our kryptonian hero. He fought off his kind, the aliens guided by General Zod, laying waste to Metropolis. And that, basically, was one of the catalysts of the recent Batman Vs.

We don\u2019t need no education.<\/em> If you\u2019ve seen this movie, it\u2019s unlikely that you cannot associate\u00a0it with Pink Floyd\u2019s \u201cAnother Brick in The Wall (Part II)\u201d. The combination has brought both the movie and the hit song amazing popularity. The Faculty is another iconic depiction of an alien invasion done more subtly, as high schoolers battle the takeover of their school. These are truly kids who should be scared of their teachers.<\/p>\n Photo courtesy of Columbia Pictures<\/p><\/div>\n A different kind of movie that does count as an alien invasion. And who hasn\u2019t heard of Men in Black? Or their trademark futuristic gadgets? The difference is that many aliens in this particular movie already live among us. Some do it peacefully while others have ill intentions. It almost sounds like actual humans, doesn\u2019t it? And who will be there to protect us? The men in black.<\/p>\n Photo courtesy of 20th Century Fox<\/p><\/div>\n Humans should\u2019ve really, really stayed out of it. Two of the most iconic aliens in pop-culture battle it out against each other. The premise isn\u2019t the actual alien invasion as they reign down on us from the skies. It\u2019s that aliens had already invaded us a long, long time ago. It depicts the powerful Predator as an almighty species, where Scott Ridley\u2019s aliens are a major trial in their lives, a test they have to pass. It does explain how the Predators became such an exquisite example of peak\u2026 well, predators.<\/p>\n Photo courtesy of Warner Bros.<\/p><\/div>\n Aliens versus robots? Bring it on. Pacific Rim was arguably one of the best alien invasion movies in recent times. It was highly praised by critics and remarkably received by the public. It\u2019s fun, loud, destruction, and actually had a very interesting storyline that kept the audience wanting more. And it\u2019s certainly coming. The sequel, Pacific Rim 2, is currently in the works.<\/p>\n Photo courtesy of Marvel Studios<\/p><\/div>\n Out of the movies on this list, this is definitely the one that earned the most, shattering box office records. And, funnily enough, it\u2019s not the first movie that comes to people\u2019s minds when they think of an \u2018alien invasion movie\u2019. But that\u2019s exactly what it is. It is indeed a superhero movie, a pretty important one that bands most of Marvel\u2019s most famous heroes together, but they are battling aliens seeking to destroy our world. So, it definitely counts.<\/p>\n Photo courtesy of Paramount Pictures<\/p><\/div>\n The franchise became wildly popular in spite of the fact that it was viciously criticized by virtually everyone. It\u2019s making money, and everyone knows about it. No one said a movie had to be good to be popular. The Transformers franchise took off with a blast, coming out with big sales, and enough prequels to make a pretty long marathon if you’re planning a movie night. And it\u2019s not stopping. Transformers 5 will be coming out next year.<\/p>\n Photo courtesy of Warner Bros.<\/p><\/div>\n Yes, this certainly counts as an alien invasion movie, in spite of the fact that we have a superhero alien fighting on our side. Man of the Steel was the first installment of the rebooted Superman that established Henry Cavill as our kryptonian hero. He fought off his kind, the aliens guided by General Zod, laying waste to Metropolis. And that, basically, was one of the catalysts of the recent Batman Vs. Superman.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Be it comedy, action, thriller, or documentaries, we have all seen our share of alien movies.
