Marvelous Videos with twelve cult alien invasion movies…
“Two possibilities exist: either we are alone in the Universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying.” So wrote legendary sci-fi author Arthur C. Clarke, and it’s a sentiment you can’t help but agree with. If humans really are the only species in the cosmos, then it begs questions of existential guilt too deep for this article.
If, on the other hand, there is extraterrestrial life, what would such encounters between our races look like? It’s a premise that has given rise to the concept of an “alien invasion” wherein ETs conduct a military incursion on the planet Earth.
Yet, for all the talk about Independence Day or War of the Worlds, there are plenty of such genre pictures that initially failed to make an impact, either with critics or at the box office. Luckily, the folks at Marvelous Videos have done their research and found a selection of twelve great alien invasion movies that have earned cult status…
Are there any other alien invasion movies worthy of a place on this list? Be sure to let us know!
