Star Trek: First Contact is by far the best of the TNG movies and second best out of the series after Wrath of Khan.

[@mageius]

I'd say Generations is probably tied or very close to it. More for lore reasons because of its impact with DS9.

[@Jettscreamer99]

I was sure number one was gonna be John Carpenter’s “The Thing”

[@alexhaas9653]

It has to be Star Trek: First Contact! "This far, no further! And *I* will make them pay for what they've done!"

[@Vindix007]

The line must be drawn here.

[@thudthud5423]

"Europa Report" is great in that it shows everything going wrong, but the mission ends up being a success in that alien life is discovered. The alien lifeform, while deadly, is not a monster or even the crew's enemy. "The Last Starfighter" practically screams "Give me a modern remake!" "Super 8" works very well, because it wraps a good, nostalgic sci-fi story around the story of four lives damaged by a previous tragedy that need healing.

A few honorable mentions: 1. Alien Nation (1989) 2. 2010: The Year We Make Contact (1984) 3. Stargate (1994) 4. District 9 (2009) 5. Species Genre (1995-2007) 6. Predator (1987) 7. The Fifth Element (1997) 8. Sphere (1988) 9. Forbidden Planet (1956) 10. Enemy Mine (1985) *I am counting Alien Nation and District 9 because of the emphasis on socio-cultural consequences of aliens being stranded on Earth. While it sort of fits with invasion, I still think that the other aspects of it outweigh the beginnings as it shows how we would integrate aliens into society if they came here and stayed as their own socio-ethnic group.

[@olleselin]

"Close Encounters" of the Third Kind" is the GOAT of the 👽🛸 genre!

[@Jeremiah_Rivers76]

As J.J. Abrams’ only solo film so far, _Super 8_ has always stuck with me because the alien’s motive. Earth was an alien planet to him, and with no way to return to his homeworld, Dr. Woodward was the only person he could trust. But with protagonist Joe Lamb being the voice of reason, Cooper, as the credits call the alien, learned that he can live without killing anyone.

[@cozmothemagician7243]

One of my all time favorites is "Batteries not included". A wonderful tale, with a great cast and amazing FX.

[@aljawad]

Andrei Tarkovsky’s “Solaris”, Neill Blomkamp’s “District 9” & John Carpenter’s “The Thing”?

[@indiecinemaster4699]

_Close Encounters of the Third Kind_ and E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial are easily the best first contact films.

[@leonigama5597]

awesome job about First Contact Movies from Top 20

[@mageius]

So glad Star Trek First Contact made it. The film really is underrated and is 1 of the few Trek movies that's more about the action and has a solid plot.. Side note, no Predator? I mean, it is a first contact.

[@1978rharris]

It’s not. Cos they’ve been here before. It’s possible it’s a 43rd contact, we may never know.

[@markmaioli4]

E.T. ahead of Alien?!?! Truly insane

[@nogginbonker76]

Last Starfighter is set for a sequel.

[@thudthud5423]

Or a remake.

[@CandiceVidito32]

E.T The Extra Terrestrial is the best!

[@tylergoodman3560]

"I'll be with you right here," E.T. 😢🎉

[@Reaperguy67]

Absolutely right and there is a et ride at universal studios that is absolutely amazing in person. It was also opening day ride as well. They also have came out with et Funko's as well.

The Abyss is an amazing movie, considering it's age.

[@WilliamScavengerFish]

The last star fighter didn't just use CGI, it was invented for it.

[@JohnsChannel-i1y]

I'd love to meet the Close Encounters aliens, E.T., and the aliens from The Abyss and Arrival.

[@BrianaCunningham]

Mission to Mars is a personal fav of mine😊

Annihilation is a masterpiece

@StanHalen1936 Yes, but she's passed on for almost 16 years. 🎉

​​​@@JJ.-BB another lie. Why do you even care about old comments. Do you understand people can change. Again let me remind you of something. You admitted to trolling and I have plenty evidence of you bullying people. Sad that you like your own comment.

the original ARRIVAL starring CHARLIE SHEEN and it's sequel are better than the remake

[@Вано-о5м]

Все привет друзья!

[@user-nw6ck2kn1s]

Arrival over ET? I liked Arrival but it was slow and way more boring. Not a bad list but where is A quiet place, Stargate, District 9, or even predator? I get the edgy campy movies, but should they really be included instead of these?
