Fire in the Sky is good desu

Extraordinary: The Stan Romanek Story is a pretty spooky documentary on Netflix

Close Encounters is underrated

Close Encounters is top tier GOAT
Fire in the Sky is nightmare fuel if ayys give you willies
The Fourth Kind is neat for the documentary style (and the title makes sense after Close Encounters)
Taken is a good miniseries by speilberg that doesn't get enough love
Alien is just a good horror flick

Mars Attacks if you just want something fun.

IS the Arrival any good?

Enemy Mine

Looks more like a comedy.

In the same way Interstellar and the Matt Damon on Mars movie are good.

This is just a great movie overall, aliens just make it better. This movie made 10 y/o me not racist but still hold onto my prejudices (which all people should do).

But's it not because it's real user. It's scary to think it all actually happened

I miss the mysterious Grey alien in his sinister saucer

Modern aliens are dull. It's always some overdesigned CGO thing leaping about. Boooring.

You are one dumbass nigga if you're being serious.

That movie scared the shit outta me as a kid. I was never afraid of any monsters but aliens freaked me out. Pic related, I'll remember that scene til the day I die.

I like to think Greys are humans from the future, which makes them terrifying to me on a completely different level.

>In the same way Interstellar and the Matt Damon on Mars movie are good.

hmm, saw these two last week... dunno if I can stomach another one just yet

I'd love a modern alien movie with the alien just being a fucker from space that doesn't do things perfectly.
>tense movie about guy getting abducted in his house
>failed attempts for a few nights
>human realizes something is out to get him but no one believes him
>make the abductee struggle against being taken, the alien is too physically weak to restrain him
>make an abductee escape into the streets, alien is totally at a lose to how our streets and byways work
>alien gets brained with a brick by abductee from the shadows of an alley
>human goes back to their life, but scarred forever and suffers PTSD and his life is ruined from the encounter
>last scene shows a new grey "turning on" in the saucer, redpilling normies on how greys are just space suits for their inhuman souls
>heavily imply he will go back to the abductee until he gets it right

The threat of abduction and never getting a clear look at them makes them creepy. I think early X-Files pulled it off really well.

4th kind is creepy

WE CAN TAKE OVER THE CRACK GAME

If you want horror I'd say The Thing prequel from 2011 isn't bad. The 'original' from 1984 is much better but some of the practical effects have dated and are obviously fake.

The Mist is pretty good too, if you don't mind religious characters.

If you want to be really scared you need to read Communion. I thought it was going to be a hokey trainwreck after decades of hearing about how stupid it is, but it wasn't what I expected at all. I had never been so scared to turn off the lights before. Strieber takes you through what he's experiencing very methodically and logically and it really puts you there with him. It's very much an edge-of-your-seat mystery and, without spoiling anything, he never comes to the conclusion that it's literally aliens abducting him. The book has been sensationalized to all hell and it's really done a disservice to its reputation. I've never seen the movie but I doubt they captured what makes the book so unnerving to read.

Sounds interesting. Will remember to give it a try

>its just insidious with aliens

still executed well and plenty of spooky moments

these

The good one that has a potential to grow into the franchise!!!

>wanna watch interstellar
>accidentaly watch estevez's movie
>figure it out 30 mins in
>too invested not to finish it
: /

Contact (1997) is alien kino

Freejack?

Very good. But it's more of a Twilight Zone episode than some hardish sci-fi thing about alien visitation.

Close Encounters is BASED
The cameo by J Allen Hynek gives me goosebumps errrtime

Fire in the Sky is another classic but is NOTHING like the "real" story Travis Walton claimed happened to him. Look up his "real" story and you will see why it would have made a horrible movie

more like overrated then underrated because everyone forgot it exists.

real life

DELET

I've never laughed harder than when you see the alien through the windows

HOLY SHIT MAN

that found-footage area 51 movie had some spooky stuff in it.

The 80's Invaders From Mars if good cheesy Tobe Hooper fun

The Arrival (1996) is pretty solid B movie material. Haven't watched it for years so I imagine the cgi looks hokey as shit by now.

My dream:
high budget HBO miniseries that dramatizes the Roswell/MJ12 mythology, kind of like "dark skies" but in a grittier, more "realistic" way.

it could follow the career of a young Army Airforce airman in 1947 who is part of Roswell, then becomes embroiled with the MJ12 council as "man in black" (not the comedic type, more like silencing witnesses )

ending scene of finale is our main character, now 35 years older, gray hair, bitter etc.., briefing an off-camera President-Elect Reagan on the "alien threat" and a new MJ12 program called "SDI" that will be used to protect Earth against them and the Soviets are helping us with this project

the aliens would never be given speaking roles or anything goofy, I would keep their screen time limited and mysterious. we end up knowing nothing about their motive or history etc.. but that could make it even more unsettling. the show would focus more on the main character and how the world of secrecy affects him and his family. his wife thinks he is just a normal 1950s Air Force officer living in the suburbs but he knows a truth that would change all of humanity if revealed.

The Quatermass trilogy is the British alien invasion kino.

Hardest I laughed was at the end when it said he was arrested for have gigs of child porn on his computer. This entire fake ass documentary with laughable "alien" footage and he was just some pedo. Hilarious.

Why is it the same old boring fucking Greys? Show me alien footage with a giant praying mantis or a floating starfish thing and i'll buy it. These things are just a bunch of human fears and archetypes mashed into one.

You're in for trouble, boy.

I think that user was referring to Arrival not The Arrival with Charlie Sheen.

>some of the practical effects have dated and are obviously fake

Greys are humans from the future that ruined their reproductive abilities through genetic tampering. That's why they want our genes. To try and undo what they did to themselves. This is why you hear so many stories about them creating little hybrids.

Things that could be covered in this show
Roswell
Formation of MJ12
the "contactee" movement,
betty and barney hill abduction
project bluebook
Lonnie Zamora
area 51
ending with SDI "Star Wars" program as an excuse to put weapons in space when it becomes clear the aliens are hostile

mainly focused on our main character and his family but the show could have glimpses of the "higher ups" MJ12 meetings. it would be focused on the 1947 to 1982 time period, the age of "classic Ufology"

visually, kind of Mad Men-esque I guess would work best with the clothes, styles and cars.

This. Going to see it when they bring it back to theaters in 4K next month.

I went to his website and I saw that it was talking about legal trouble and was wondering what he did. I would have been more inclined to believe all his footage if it weren't for the alien props. The footage of the one inside his house is just so pathetically poorly done.

>he fell for space chads bs story about saving mankind while fugging him up the pooper.

I liked it anyway.

The Barney and Betty Hill incident is kind of spotty, even if it's fascinating.

ayyy lmao

>morrowind mods
Jesus christ I can never truly unsee that.

That's fucking retarded. If you have that ability to engineer genes you could create them from scratch if you needed to fix your reproductive system.

The whole series would need to have a "willing suspension of disbelief" factor to make it work. The alien parts would have to be done very carefully to avoid treading into cheesy sci-fi tropes.

The best strength of "Fire in the Sky", and "the 4th kind" to a lesser extent (basically the movie before the Sumerian translation thing) is that it keeps the aliens creepy and mysterious. We have no idea who they are, what they want or what they are doing. That's what makes the abduction scene so damn unsettling.

For a UFO mythology type miniseries to really work I think it would need to adopt that same premise. It could be boiled down to: "Aliens are visiting Earth and abducting people. We have no idea who they are, where they are from or what they want. The Government knows and is terrified of the general public finding out so they are doing everything possible to keep the truth hidden and ascertain what the aliens want."

The X-Files was like this before the whole "black goo/colonists/super soldiers" storyline sent it off the rails into something else.

>no Battle of Los Angeles
>no Kenneth Arnold sighting
>no D.C. sightings
>no Hopkinsville goblins and Flatwoods monster sidestories

Get real

Fuck yeah. Get Rendlesham in there too.

>The Barney and Betty Hill incident is kind of spotty

What makes you say that?

>Battle of LA
might be too early to fit a series like this, but maybe could be mentioned in a scene showing the formation of MJ12?

>Kenneth arnold
>Washington DC flap

I forgot these, they would need to be covered or atleast mentioned

>Hopkinsville

hmm this might be hard to cover, how could you portray these kind of goblin aliens in a way that is creepy and unsettling but not goofy>

>flatwoods monster
same as above

it was a franchise.
It was very popular, had a tv show, but got cancelled.

District 9
Signs

Reminds me of pic related and Pixar's Lifted: youtube.com/watch?v=LVLoc6FrLi0

>chinese footjob suicide forest
are some of these just random?

Their accounts resemble a UFO movie that was on TV not long prior to their incident, iirc.

Any alien movies out there that explore the theme of them not being from outer space

Something like a John Keel interpretation of the phenomenon

This was a made for tv movie from the early 90s about Roswell. I thought it was interesting.

mars attacks

Its a meme you dip. But seriously look up the suicide forest in Japan, that's where they got the idea from.

FBI HELP

>comic
kek

>tfw I'll never be a kid again watching X-Files alone in my room being scared shitless by the ayylmao's

Found footage kino

Alien abduction: incident in lake county

Sup Forums comes up with a legitimate show idea wow

It's pretty cheesy but still pretty good

>do you want to see the ruins my friend?

I was able to deal with The X-Files but the spooky Unsolved Mysteries ones always fucked with me

The similarities were to a then-recently aired episode of The Outer Limits.

Their story was itself adapted as a TV movie though, "The UFO Incident." Other Related films:

"Mysterious Two" - Made for tv flick Inspired by early lore surrounding the founders of the heaven's gate cult. I remember the ending of this being kind of creepy.

"Hanger 18" -UFO conspiracy thriller involving the predecessor to Area 51. Kinda light on the ayys.

Watching this at midnight, alone, with the lights off really fucked me up for a couple of days.

so, literally paul?

man i remember this one that i watched when i was little that was so fucking weird

there was a dude who got stranded on some planet with an alien dude and then somehow that alien dude got pregnant and had a kid and then died - so this human dude is raising this alien kid who is somehow also actually his kid

then later i remember that the planet they were on was also like a prison colony or something because they end up going there cause the kid alien gets kidnapped or something

fuck me shit was weird

Pure kino coming through

Enemy Mine, an underrated gem.

nothing weird about raising an aliens kid and protecting it from evil wh..humans.

shieeeeeeeeeet thats it

i wonder if i should rewatch it now as an adult or just let my vague 8 year old self memory live on

No; You are wrong about that one.
