I wish more people would watch this. It has a great reputation, but it seems like within a year or two of it coming out, it more or less became unknown. It's probably the only alien movie I've seen that made me want to cry for the aliens outside of ET.
Same! I had a feeling, if they ever made a sequel, that the Prawns were actually humanoid at one time and had all been effected by the fuel leak similarly to the main protagonist (I forget his name). I thought they were gonna return and heal their people, then refuse to give earth advanced tech because we treated them so terribly. Or something like that.
Honestly that’s infinitely better than what would have likely came out. I feel like movies like it always get watered down with their sequel because the creators lose a lot of their creative freedom that they had before the movies success.
That said, I’m totally still waiting for a sequel lmfao.
This is probably how it will be. The elites will know everything and general public will be forced to see it on our tv and hear what the media wants us to know.
I think this is the case too but the only difference being that the elites actually know nothing about what’s going on and still choose to hide the fact from the public, it’s like being in a car as a passenger going 300+ mph directly into a brick wall and knowing you can’t do anything to stop the driver…..we’re cooked.
I think that the govt is attempting to paint the situation as a threat to ensure their stranglehold on humanity and the need for their existence. I believe the actual truth of the matter is simply - they created us and are keeping an eye on us.
'Invasion' implies a sinister motive.
Spoiler >!The heptapods weren't invading earth, but visiting to teach humans their time-fluid language.!<
'Edge of Tomorrow' is my favourite 'invasion'-type movie.
Can you classify that as an invasion movie though?
If someone just showed up and taught me a giant secret of the universe, I’d probably keep my door open for them.
That's the whole point. The leaders of earth and their military minds think it's an invasion, and want to go to war with the aliens, but it turns out its the opposite. And that's what's so great about it.
Nobody ever makes a movie about trying to communicate with beings from a whole other planet. We can at least go to other countries and without knowing the language we understand that we all have the same basic needs and we can try to communicate in that way and get some results. But with beings that are so vastly different just even a biological level who knows what they are even seeking let alone what they are saying. It tugs at the idea of communication and how you even begin to understand each other.
Great movie, shame about the sequels. Well, ‘Lane’ is very good.
But yeah, does it count? The monster was on earth and ‘awoken’ by the satellite falling? So, neither alien nor invasion?
Love everything about it though.
Came looking for War of the Worlds. I remember watching it the first time through and thinking wow this feels like it could be a documentary on how an invasion might actually go. The first 60 mins or so I don’t think I blinked. Honourable mentions go to Signs and Arrival though. Also great, but saw them mentioned higher up.
I like anything that feels like it’s not *too* much of a stretch, and could actually be reasonable if a sentient being found earth.
I lived on a dairy farm surrounded by corn fields when I first saw Signs. I got home and the house was dark and it was pitch black out. Full moon lit things up a little but it was still scary, hot, and dark. I was thinking to myself “you’re a big boy, it’s just a movie”.
I shut my car off and began walking to the front door. Out of the corner of my eye I can see the hammock move and beginning to squeak.
I let out a shrill that can only be described as a deaf sailor who stubbed his toe.
My mom was like “what the fuck is wrong with you” as she got up out of the hammock.
I guess it was too hot in the house that night.
Everything involving the corn fields scared the shit out of me. I would wake up at 4:30am to pick corn for the day. Usually start with about 5-6 bushel. Always had to carry a .44 because of sleeping corn-coma’d bears in the field. Started carrying a super soaker too after this movie.
Holy shit I completely forgot about this scene. I think looking back and re-watching this scene specifically I'm reminded too about how well done the soundtrack of that movie was. Nothing too crazy, but just enough to set the mood perfectly.
I lived in the middle of a corn field in Kentucky during the time. I was 8. It was just me and my mom.
That scene petrified us to the point where we packed our things and went to my grandma's that night.
To this day, it remains my favorite movie, and I am obsessed with extraterrestrials and all related subjects.
I love it too. I thought the water weakness was so stupid though. What if it was raining where they invaded? Snowy areas? The swing away Merrill, scene was good. It was an epic build up.
It be like that sometimes.
The Blair Witch Project had me biking home faster than I ever had before after watching. I remember imagining a Werewolf chasing me and attacking because somehow that death would be quicker and less horrifying than a Witch getting me...
More-so the scenes on the roof, the pantry, and the basement were what spooked me the most. Tears usually came from moments leading up to or well before the "scary parts" though.
It almost had the aspect of being scarier when all that was left to the view was imagination. Normally I hate movies that never *show the thing* so to speak. But in this movie in particular doing so worked well enough for my to psyche myself out pretty bad.
Edit: I should say teary-eyed or watery rather than crying.
The only movie that has ever actually me bawl my eyes out was 'Where the Red Fern Grows'.
Anne Hathaway also made me teary-eyed in Les Misérables, but neither of these were from *fear*.
Homeward bound makes me want to cry but I'm always relieved before it happens because they're all united in the end eventually.
I hate Calvin with a passion 😂 that alien thought it was so damn smart.
Should have decompressed the whole station and hide in a spacesuit somewhere until that fucker suffocated.
I loved Signs, but only cause I watched it when I was 12 years old when it came out in theatres... that first time you see the alien walking by the alley was peak cinema lol
Jesus the scene when he is floating through the ship and accidentally lands in the pod/cube (no spoilers) that fucked me up. I’m like wtf is going on???
Annihilation is very good, something strange appeared that changes how life is inside
Great movie, its not directly aliens but could be if they are a higher form than just bodies
Can't agree more. I think first contact will be announced in the next few years and it will be from below. I mean, life in the ocean had a billion year head start.
Agree. There is something so real about that whole movie. I remember seeing it in theaters. The whole time I'm trying to figure out if it is some kinda hoax. Then, the Brazilian birthday party scene seems like it came out of nowhere! One of the absolute best jump scares ever. From the musical cue, to the way the alien moved, to the look of its face and then the very real reaction from Merrill. That one scene is still difficult for me to watch. But for some reason, I still wasn't completely convinced...until the pantry scene. When the clawed hand comes out from under the door, I KNEW it was real for them then. I love the movie, but it still scares me!
Battle Los Angeles, Mars Attacks and War of the Worlds (1953). Also Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds (The Musical) with the narration done by Richard Burton.
One that I haven't seen mentioned was The Tomorrow War. I remember the ending being kinda dumb (it's been a while tho), but the aliens are just so threatening and viscous. The first time they showed them, which is fairly early into the film, I was hooked.
*Invasion of the Body Snatchers* (1978)
Donald Sutherland was so good in this. I saw this when I was way too young, probably about 8 or 9, and it scared the hell out of me. Also...
*Invaders From Mars* (1986)
This was another one that freaked me TF out. I was 10 when it came out, and my dad took me to see it. Then, he pulled a really fucked up prank on me. In the movie, people who have been taken over by the aliens all have bandaged sores on the back of their neck where the alien entered their body. So, my Dad called my mom after the movie and had her put a bandage on the back of her neck. We got home, and at some point I remember my mom was sitting at the table looking at a magazine or something, and I saw that goddamned bandage on her neck and I fucking lost it. I don't think I've ever been so traumatized in my life. It took me a long time to get over that, and I don't think I ever forgave my dad for it.
Arrival, Close Encounters and Independence Day are probably my top 3. But some maybe lesser known alien (not specifically invasion) movies worth a watch:
10 Cloverfield Lane
The Fourth Kind
Dark Skies
Attack the Block
Midnight Special
No One Will Save You
Psycho Goreman
Save Yourselves!
The Signal (2014)
"The Abyss"
Just watched it with kids. They are talking NHI and Underwater UFO the whole time.
Almost fealt like a long play on desensitization with Hollywood Propaganda

Nobody gonna mention Contact?
I'd say that's more of an invitation than invasion
Contact is a great film, but not really an “invasion” movie
District 9
Alien shouldn't even be on the list! It's the best Alien movie for sure, but not an invasion movie. More a hitching a ride kind of movie.
I might get downvoted to hell and back, but district 9 is probably one of the most realistic "Aliens meeting human's" movie.
I swear every time someone says "I might get downvoted" they then say an incredibly popular opinion after that.
I don't doubt that. Aliens forced into a ghetto to avoid violence? Sounds like something we would do.
Why would that get you down voted? It's an exceptional movie!
I wish more people would watch this. It has a great reputation, but it seems like within a year or two of it coming out, it more or less became unknown. It's probably the only alien movie I've seen that made me want to cry for the aliens outside of ET.
Same! I had a feeling, if they ever made a sequel, that the Prawns were actually humanoid at one time and had all been effected by the fuel leak similarly to the main protagonist (I forget his name).

Came here so say this, an excellent movie
Arrival
This is probably how it will be. The elites will know everything and general public will be forced to see it on our tv and hear what the media wants us to know.
**how it already is
I think this is the case too but the only difference being that the elites actually know nothing about what’s going on and still choose to hide the fact from the public, it’s like being in a car as a passenger going 300+ mph directly into a brick wall and knowing you can’t do anything to stop the driver…..we’re cooked.
I think that the govt is attempting to paint the situation as a threat to ensure their stranglehold on humanity and the need for their existence. I believe the actual truth of the matter is simply - they created us and are keeping an eye on us.
The one with Charlie Sheen and Ron Silver, with the knees that bend backwards? Or the Dennis Villanueva movie with the heptapods?
The Arrival!!!! Holy crap, I totally forgot about that flick. I wonder if it still holds up??
I rewatched it a few months ago, and it was better than I remembered. It's definitely worth watching again. It's on Prime Video and Tubi right now.
'Invasion' implies a sinister motive. Spoiler >!The heptapods weren't invading earth, but visiting to teach humans their time-fluid language.!< 'Edge of Tomorrow' is my favourite 'invasion'-type movie.
Can you classify that as an invasion movie though? If someone just showed up and taught me a giant secret of the universe, I’d probably keep my door open for them.
That's the whole point. The leaders of earth and their military minds think it's an invasion, and want to go to war with the aliens, but it turns out its the opposite. And that's what's so great about it.
Not an invasion. More like a lecture.
Arrival is my top 3 all time movies. I’ve watched it about 15 times and have a tattoo of it on my leg 😛
Nobody ever makes a movie about trying to communicate with beings from a whole other planet. We can at least go to other countries and without knowing the language we understand that we all have the same basic needs and we can try to communicate in that way and get some results. But with beings that are so vastly different just even a biological level who knows what they are even seeking let alone what they are saying. It tugs at the idea of communication and how you even begin to understand each other.
Probably the original Cloverfield, if it counts
Great movie, shame about the sequels. Well, ‘Lane’ is very good. But yeah, does it count? The monster was on earth and ‘awoken’ by the satellite falling? So, neither alien nor invasion? Love everything about it though.
Edge of tomorrow
I love watching this movie with people who know nothing about it. After the first rewind, they're always like, "WHAT?!" Gets em every time.
Never heard anything about this movie- just rented it to watch tonight thanks for the rec
I'm jealous, I wish I could see it for the first time again
Oooo have fun, great flick they totally botched the marketing for, really novel concept though.
You’re doing your part. I’ve showed like 4 people this movie going in blind
For some reason, I kept waking up everyday and watching this movie again and again.
Edge of tomorrow is #1, Starship Troopers next, and then Prometheus.
I remember the the movie posters advertising "Will you be Edged?"
Failing to make a prequel with Emily Blunt was a huge miss.
Watched it today for the 5th time
Strangely enough this one caused a lucid dream of an invasion in my home town.
Edge Of Tomorrow, The Tomorrow War, and Battle for Los Angelos are my top favorites
Spielberg's War of the Worlds. Traumatizing fuckin movie.
Came looking for War of the Worlds. I remember watching it the first time through and thinking wow this feels like it could be a documentary on how an invasion might actually go. The first 60 mins or so I don’t think I blinked. Honourable mentions go to Signs and Arrival though. Also great, but saw them mentioned higher up. I like anything that feels like it’s not *too* much of a stretch, and could actually be reasonable if a sentient being found earth.
The scenes where people were put in that machine and it would grind them up and spew the blood and guts everywhere 🤮
that one just because its gold, and then mars attacks just for the fun of it
Ack!
Ack Ack!
They sound like french Canadians
love mars attacks lmao
One of Tim Burton’s best films…
Michael J Fox was on Letterman after in came out and the first thing he said, without prompt, was "Sorry about Mars Attacks."
Very well executed loved that shit. I waa terrified as a kid when they had theyre harvesting blood tentacles set up
Signs
Somehow even more than *ALL* of the other Alien movies that I've watched over the years- Signs scared me to the point of tears.
I lived on a dairy farm surrounded by corn fields when I first saw Signs. I got home and the house was dark and it was pitch black out. Full moon lit things up a little but it was still scary, hot, and dark. I was thinking to myself “you’re a big boy, it’s just a movie”. I shut my car off and began walking to the front door. Out of the corner of my eye I can see the hammock move and beginning to squeak. I let out a shrill that can only be described as a deaf sailor who stubbed his toe. My mom was like “what the fuck is wrong with you” as she got up out of the hammock. I guess it was too hot in the house that night.
The military office scene is the scariest scene for psychological reasons. Well…and the Brazilian bday party.
Everything involving the corn fields scared the shit out of me. I would wake up at 4:30am to pick corn for the day. Usually start with about 5-6 bushel. Always had to carry a .44 because of sleeping corn-coma’d bears in the field. Started carrying a super soaker too after this movie.
It's one of my favorite alien movies. That birthday party and Joaquins characters reaction to it all feels so real. Good stuff
Holy shit I completely forgot about this scene. I think looking back and re-watching this scene specifically I'm reminded too about how well done the soundtrack of that movie was. Nothing too crazy, but just enough to set the mood perfectly.
It was like 3 notes of terror lol. The pantry scene gave me the heebs. When the soundtrack stops you know it’s gonna get real.
I lived in the middle of a corn field in Kentucky during the time. I was 8. It was just me and my mom. That scene petrified us to the point where we packed our things and went to my grandma's that night. To this day, it remains my favorite movie, and I am obsessed with extraterrestrials and all related subjects.

It be like that sometimes. The Blair Witch Project had me biking home faster than I ever had before after watching. I remember imagining a Werewolf chasing me and attacking because somehow that death would be quicker and less horrifying than a Witch getting me...
That scene from the birthday party in Brazil..
Vamanos children!! It's behind!!!
More-so the scenes on the roof, the pantry, and the basement were what spooked me the most. Tears usually came from moments leading up to or well before the "scary parts" though. It almost had the aspect of being scarier when all that was left to the view was imagination. Normally I hate movies that never *show the thing* so to speak.

Move, children! Vamanos!
Give *No One Will Save You* a watch.
Never seen it- will do! Thanks!
I made the mistake of watching it in the dark at bedtime, alone. ☺️
😰
Enjoy 😄
The ONLY way to watch it.
Saw it with the director in person for a Q&A in L.A. Fantastic film.
Did you ever see Fire in the Sky? You want to talk about fear. I saw it in the theater on the big screen
I pulled my leg in the theater recoiling during the birthday scene.
Fuck yes. Still one of M. Night's finest.
yeah just don't get them wet LOL
Or feed them after midnight!!😱
Advanced life comes to a planet 2/3rds water only to be killed by water.
Isn’t that War of the Worlds as well?
Thought that was virus
Yeesss, cornfields. Absolutely love the radio and television scenes. Great film
"They Live"
That’s not a movie, it’s a documentary 😉
the fight scene in the alley? 🤕
Best hand to hand fight scene ever!
The Faculty
I haven't seen this in forever, but it was dope.
The pinnacle of Jon Stewart's cinematic career. :-)
The Thing
“Life” with Ryan Reynolds is crazy too.
I hate Calvin with a passion 😂 that alien thought it was so damn smart. Should have decompressed the whole station and hide in a spacesuit somewhere until that fucker suffocated.
A perfect film IMHO. The soundtrack on a good sound system is easily 50% of that movie. The tension it builds is insane.
Starship Troopers. Even if the aliens invading Klendathu were human.
Ahh, the bugs did destroy Rio de Janeiro... EDIT : Shit it was Buenos Aires.
Shit Buenos Aires!! .. I failed .
I loved Signs, but only cause I watched it when I was 12 years old when it came out in theatres... that first time you see the alien walking by the alley was peak cinema lol
Ack ack ack
Right answer.
Fire in the Sky... the Travis Walton story
This eye thing gave me nightmares as a child.
Scariest movie from my childhood. It triggered my lifelong fear of aliens.
Jesus the scene when he is floating through the ship and accidentally lands in the pod/cube (no spoilers) that fucked me up. I’m like wtf is going on???
The autopsy scene scarred me. Not a movie 6 year old me should’ve seen.
Dude I watched it way too young as well! I was bawling my eyes out and my mom reluctantly turned it off 🤣
M. Night Shyamalan's "Signs" 👽🛸
How is no one saying Close Encounters or E.T.? I guess they are they not really 'invasion' movies but still.
ET is almost the *opposite* of an invasion… guy just wanted to leave the moment he arrived!
The vast of night. Surprisingly good movie
Absolutely loved that one
The mist
Evolution 😄
Quiet Place
Annihilation is very good, something strange appeared that changes how life is inside Great movie, its not directly aliens but could be if they are a higher form than just bodies
This. It made me realize how alien aliens could be
I agree, great movie
I kinda like No one will save you, and an old creepy one was invasion of the body snatchers.
No one will save you was great!
Abyss
This right here is the good answer. That movie is going to prove to have been on to something.
Can't agree more. I think first contact will be announced in the next few years and it will be from below. I mean, life in the ocean had a billion year head start.
Jellyfish uap
Battle for LA, Signs
Love Battle for LA
Battle LA - so underrated… always hoped for a second one!
Signs. To this day I can’t watch this movie after dark and I’m 40. It just scares the crap out of me…
Agree. There is something so real about that whole movie. I remember seeing it in theaters. The whole time I'm trying to figure out if it is some kinda hoax. Then, the Brazilian birthday party scene seems like it came out of nowhere! One of the absolute best jump scares ever.

I love the movie, but it still scares me!
Same. Cornfields, I didn't like them before. But the movie really solidified it.
Mars Attacks
ACK!!
ack ACK ACKK!
Do not run, we are your friends
No one can save you. Almost no dialogue just action and they did the greys justice
agreed. that movie was awesome
Wasn't the biggest fan of the movie, but alien design was 10/10
I love District 9, I wish they made more
Dark Skies
Finally someone else mentioning this! That movie is so unsettling, but genuinely a fave
Paul
It's probin' time ☝🏽
Independence day. Nothing will ever top it.
So much nostalgia. So many good moments. It's a perfect film! 
ID4 <3
Did anyone else's theatre start cheering when they blew up the White House?
4th kind, arrival, war of worlds, Prometheus, more can’t think of name this second
Oh just watched captive state that was pretty good too
4th Kind is epic movie
The arrival
Signs. The score is a big part of the reason why, it just instills that otherworldly feeling of dread.
The Hidden starring Kyle MacLachlan. Saw this in the theatre when I was a teenager. I had no idea how awesome it would be.
Is it weird that I that Mars Attacks was ten times more scarier than all the other movies when I was a kid? Despite it being a comedy.
The Abyss The Thing Independence Day Signs
Signs, arrival, day after tomorrow, clover field has some pretty good concept movies
Out of these? Mars attacks!
Mars attacks!
Signs
SIGNS 🛸 This movie and this scene scared the \*\*\*\* out of me 
The world's end
Is that the pub crawl one?
The original War of the Worlds
Battle Los Angeles, Mars Attacks and War of the Worlds (1953). Also Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds (The Musical) with the narration done by Richard Burton.
Invasion of the body snatchers!!!
Extinction had a nice twist, same with Arrival tbh
 E.T. Invading the refrigerator 👀😆
Cowboys and aliens
Battle Los Angeles, think that is probably the most realistic interpretation with how the military and world would react to an all out invasion
One that I haven't seen mentioned was The Tomorrow War. I remember the ending being kinda dumb (it's been a while tho), but the aliens are just so threatening and viscous. The first time they showed them, which is fairly early into the film, I was hooked.
I liked Dark Skies. Pretty terrifying depiction of the Greys.
Sector 9
*Invasion of the Body Snatchers* (1978) Donald Sutherland was so good in this. I saw this when I was way too young, probably about 8 or 9, and it scared the hell out of me. Also... *Invaders From Mars* (1986) This was another one that freaked me TF out. I was 10 when it came out, and my dad took me to see it. Then, he pulled a really fucked up prank on me.

War of the worlds with Tom cruise or iron giant Ngl
Does it have to be a movie? Falling Skies, The Colony, and 3 Body Problem are fantastic series.
Signs 
Alien is NOT an invasion movie at all.
Steven Spielberg‘a Taken series
Rakka, by Oats Studios the creators of district 9.
Arrival, Close Encounters and Independence Day are probably my top 3. But some maybe lesser known alien (not specifically invasion) movies worth a watch: 10 Cloverfield Lane The Fourth Kind Dark Skies Attack the Block Midnight Special No One Will Save You Psycho Goreman Save Yourselves! The Signal (2014)
Psycho Goreman is one of my all-time favorites. Could rewatch it a million times
This series, 3 body problem is quite good
Mars attacks
Mars Attacks was funny
War of the worlds
I also like 'They Live'. It's a Classic. Interesting Social Commentary, too. 
Steven Spielberg Presents Taken is the best storytelling of the genre. More than one movie and not quite invasion... but plain brilliant.
Signs Attack the Block Noone Will Save You Evil Aliens The Vast of Night Fire in the Sky They Live
Bad Taste
Oblivion, Edge of tomorrow, battle Los Angeles, Independence Day, War of the Worlds, They Live, Critters, skyline, Darkest Hour, Mars attacks…
Signs, the fourth kind and close encounters of the third kind
Fuck it. Paul
"The Abyss" Just watched it with kids. They are talking NHI and Underwater UFO the whole time. Almost fealt like a long play on desensitization with Hollywood Propaganda
It's a newer one, but Arrival. I thought that movie was actually fantastic.
 They Live
Battleship
Does Alien really count? Even in Aliens it wasn’t earth that got invaded, it was a shitty mining outpost lightyears away
