Twenty Awesome Aliens in Movies
There’s an allure about beings from another planet. We as humans are always interested in the unknown, and since the time of our grandparents, cinema has been infatuated with this unknown as well. Whether it’s an invasion of saucers, or a disgusting drool filled creature, aliens have been a staple in movies for a long time. I’ve decided to select twenty out of this world beings that I personally think are awesome. Ranging from completely badass to completely ridiculous, here are my favorite 20 aliens in movies.
Predator
Hands down one of the best, if not the best alien in all of cinema. The face, the body, the strength, the disguise, hell even the fact that he self destructs which causes a mushroom cloud is badass. “what da hell arrrre you.” And that sinister laugh…forget about it.
Alien
I’m scared just looking at this picture. This “perfect” life form will forever be burned into the brains of any person that sees any of the Alien movies. Unstoppable.
ET
The cutest, lovable little child alien, ET. “ET phone home.” ET sticks out his middle finger and it lights up. ET can make bicycles fly. ET has that cute walk and long neck. He’s so funny! I love ET.
Starman
Jeff Bridges was awesome in this movie. I’d have to say my favorite part is when he sings “New York New York” in the car. It’s incredible. That and when he punches that redneck and spits blood.
Water in the Abyss
This is Cameron using that liquid effect before Terminator 2. Everything about The Abyss is awesome. And these aliens that can manipulate water are no exception.
Edgar in Men in Black
I mean who wouldn’t love a giant cockroach that can squeeze into Vincent D’Onofrio’s skin?
Three Boobed Chick in Total Recall
Three of them? Enough Said.
Space Pirates in Fifth Element
I’m actually a fan of how dumb these guys are. I love the scene when they’re all playing with that crazy gun that Zorg sells to them. Plus they just look funny.
Meathead in Meatballs 2
Perhaps my favorite alien in any movie, Meathead is the spoof of ET. All he wants to do is fit in at summer camp. And clearly you can see that his gray rubbery body doesn’t help. Oh wait, put on a rain hat! Perfect, now he’s assimilated.
Jeriba Shigan in Enemy Mine
Louis Gossett Jr. Enemy Mine is a mixed bag in my opinion. Some people love the flick and some hate it. I’ll let the readers argue this one out.
Kitty in Cocoon
Played by Raquel Welch’s daughter Tahnee. The fact that Tahnee posed nude in Playboy is reason enough for this addition. Plus I love the term “Share Ourselves” meaning to have sex.
Grig in The Last Starfighter
This is another movie that gets a mixed bag of reviews. Although there’s tons of high comedy in this flick. Grig is clearly one of the reasons this movie gets a thumbs up in my opinion.
Wiploc in Earth Girls are Easy
Played by Jim Carrey (the red one). You actually get a chance to see Carrey being pretty funny at times. The movie is of course, horrible, but he and Damon Waynes are actually good in this flick.
Martian Call Girl in Mars Attacks
A martian hooker? Enough said.
Marybeth Hutchinson in The Faculty
Played by Laura Harris. Look man, you see her naked one second and then she’s the queen alien in the next. That’s pretty impressive in my book.
Phil Gordian in The Arrival
Ron Silver is perhaps one of the most underrated prick actors of our time. I hate him in every single movie I’ve seen him in. Which to me means he’s doing his job. Same goes for The Arrival, which I think is a very underrated Sci-Fi flick.
Robert in Village of the Damned – 1995
Played by Cody Darkin (guy on the right), Also check out David played by Thomas Dekker who is now in Sarah Conner Chronicles but used to be in Seinfeld. These kids are badass, period.
Celeste Martin in My Stepmother is an Alien
Hot chick as an alien? You know my policy.
Sil in Species
See comment above.
Jabba the Hut
You didn’t think I’d leave this guy out did you?
Were those kids from Children of the Damned aliens?
And what about Superman?
Isn’t he really the coolest alien of them all?
coneheads???
brother from another planet…
I think my favorite is the Alien in “Aurora Encounter.” It was Mickey Hys, who had the disease Progeria, an extremely rare genetic disease of childhood characterized by dramatic, premature aging.
None of the aliens from Farscape? This list fails.
Pizza the hut!
No you fail for watching farscape.
Coneheads should be on there probably.
Where’s Howard the Duck???
What about the Vogons from the Hitchhiker’s Guide movie?
Can’t believe you left out Jar Jar…
Superman is possibly the lamest alien of them all.
GONZO BABY!!!
That scorpion-like thing at the end of Howard the Duck was pretty cool, especially considering that those were pre-CGI days…. speaking of things… THE THING was pretty freaking badass as well. That would be a good remake… IMAO
What about Prot from K-Pax? :3
What, no Lectroids from “The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension.”
John Bigbooté: “It’s not my planet, monkeyboy!”
“The Thing” was a remake of a 1951 movie, so is a remake of a remake really needed?
Other honorable mentions:
Khan (Star Trek II)
The Blob
Critters
The fat alien (From “The explorers”)
Kevin Spacey (K-PAX)
Riddick
‘Bugs’ (Starship Troopers)
What about Klaatu.
Man, I can’t believe they left Yoda out of this list!!
IT’S A TRAP!!!
This is a great list of Aliens in these movies.
I like Predator and the Alien and human girl in Species best.
thanks from tony
You miss The Hot Alien Chick in “Dude, Where’s my car?”!!! http://thecia.com.au/reviews/d/images/dude-where-s-my-car-10.jpg
Good call on “The Arrival,” and for your points on Ron Silver. He is a an awesome prick actor.
Volgons from Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. Perhaps the best part of the movie.
Do you remember ‘MAC and Me’?
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0095560/
Holy hell! that chick from species literally gave me a boner!
oh, and something’s wrong with this page. i clicked on ‘…..weapons’ but ‘….bad guy wins keeps coming up
I have to be a nerd here and say that the 3 boobed chick from Total Recall is a mutant and not an alien. The only Aliens in that movie have been long dead.
Non the less, thank you for putting her on the list anyways.
The Borg from Star Trek First contact now that an alien race you don’t want to mess with.
What Johnny said, where’s the Borg!
@JoAt or however it’s spelled:
Khan was a human.
Maby i’m the only person who watches naruto shippuden here, but for Village of the dammed, am I the only one who thought, ‘omfg its hidan!’ ?
This list is missing The Silver Surfer. Also, there were no aliens in the movie The Abyss, it’s what the movie was about; unknown creatures discovered in the depths of our own ocean. The “water worm” that you have shown is simply a way for the creatures to look at things above water. (Like a Navy RC Submarine for us.)
what about the aliens on flight of the navigator?!?! they were so cute, except for that one that was sick…
The space pirates in “The Fifth Element” are called Mangalores.
were is alf on that list you know the little hairy thing
Clerg,
You are correct about the Water Worm not being an Alien, but the things controlling it were… Clue…. Big Space Ship emerges from the water…
Khan = genetically enhanced superhuman
3 boob chick = mutant
if you are going to do spaceballs Baarf 🙂
Three sugggestions:
Alf – the loveable cat eater
Mork – why not, it launched his career
Borg Queen
OMG – Obama has been assimilated!
I’d have sex with Natasha Henstridge, even knowing she is an alien!!! Wow!
How about Harry Henderson? I know he isn’t an Alien or is he?
Anyway he is the funniest and coolest and warmest.
What about the villain in Galaxy Quest? I think he beats out a lot of things on this list
Люди в таких случаях так говорят – Бей в решето, коли в сито не пошло. 😉
Благодарю за статью, а ведь это действительно тема 🙂 В букмарки однозначно, пригодится! 🙂
Two words: Time Lords. (And yes there have been Dr. Who features, even if they were knock-offs designed to give Peter Cushing something to do between stints as Van Helsing.)
What about MORK
What happened to the Thing?
А мне блог понравился
Блог очень понравился. Так держать!!!
Не подскажете, как ссылки в футере убрать, если он закодирован. С интересом читал ваш блог и тоже решил завести себе на подобную тему. Заранее спасибо.
You forgot, “The Creature from the Black Lagoon”, “The Body Snatchers” (The Original) and this old black and white movie that was the predecessor to the Alien movies (can’t remember the name), where the creature boards the ship and try to destroy all on aboard. Back in the 50’s?????
The creature from the black lagoon isn’t an alien, he was discovered on an expedition through the Amazon, and is a missing link in the evolutionary chain. Alien was heavily inspired by The Thing From Another World
General Zod says this list needs to kneel before him!
How is Superman not on this list?
Oh come on…. no Chewie! Now that’s just plain wrong.
The wicked men in black from Dark City ?
They can Tune! 🙂
thanks man, cute collection.
the sign that that’s good job – i’m wishing to do something too, to arrange funny reviews. to make funny subtitles for flicks..
Great list. The Thing and the alien Christopher Johnson (and son) from District 9 would be my only additions.
ITS A TARP!! ALL ALIENS ARE AWESOME!
F*CK E.T.!!
What about Start trak alliens, there are a lot of them in this zaga being Mr spoke the most known of them
You started off going pretty good with horror aliens and then turned for the worse just going into average or funny aliens. If your gonna rock out the Predator and Alien then you should keep all the creatures in a horror base system. Once you start comparing them to other things then you lose thier worth as vile aggressive monsters.
holy donkey balls you left out my favorite aliens ever! the clowns from killer clowns from outer space, yea they were retarded but COME ON their flippin clowns what could be better then that lmao =] and how they turn people into kotton kandy and pop corn i think anyways lmao their awesome as hell =]
WHERE’S YODA said, “Man, I can’t believe they left Yoda out of this list!! IT’S A TRAP!!!”
Yoda never said, “it’s a trap”.
It was Admiral Ackbar
“Station” from Bill and Ted’s Bogus Journey

thease pics r so lame!!!!
The Creepy as Hell Alien from the Movie:
Communion
I dare you to click the link!
What no Gremmlins 🙁
peppersax,
the “old black and white movie that was the predecessor to the Alien movies (can’t remember the name), where the creature boards the ship and try to destroy all on aboard”
was IT! THE TERROR FROM BEYOND SPACE
Terrified me when I was 8 years old.
My favorite aliens – THE EYE CREATURES – especially the one with only half an alien costume and black leotards.
Technically, everyone in Star Wars is an alien since it is a galaxy far far away.
The alien monster in Outlander is the best I’ve seen in a recent film. Awesome creature design and sound design. Worth seeing just for the creature.
Shai Hulud!
What? No Daleks?
They get inside of you, grow horribly fast & come spattering out in a flood of gore. Children are the worst aliens of all!
Smart kids give me a pain.
Spock rulez too.
If we talk about series, I cant say the faceless rebel aliens of Xfiles or the colonists. And Diana of V
Some good variety on your list, but i thought the alien from “the thing” would have been worth a mention
