Thoughts on aliens......

I've seen there are quite a few members interested in aliens and sci-fi, and I was thinking about what the best aliens in movies or on TV are?

I'd like to propose 5 categories for your favourites: 

1. Cutest alien - E.T? Ewoks?

2. Alien you most admire - Zhaan? (Farscape) Thomas Jerome Newton? (Man who fell to earth)

3. Scariest alien - The Xenomorphs from the Aliens movies? The "Pod" aliens from invasion of the body snatchers?

4. Funniest Alien - Frank the pug? (Men in black) The aliens from Mars Attacks?

5. Alien you most identify with - for me, it would be either a Vulcan (Star Trek) or Sally Solomon (3rd rock from the sun)

EDIT: as one person here has an interest in aliens but doesn't watch movies, and for those who don't have a particular alien or sci-fi interest but would like to join in, here are some alternative categories regarding what people think real aliens would be like (feel free to answer these too if you've already done 1-5) :

6. What do you think real aliens would look like?

7. Do you think aliens would want to visit us and if so why? 

8. Does the idea of aliens scare you?

9. Do you think that real aliens would have emotions and a culture and values similar to ours?

10. Would you want to meet real aliens and if so why? What would you ask them?

  • I read books from Erich Von Daniken also watched “Anunnaki” the lost book of Enki based on Zachariah Sitchin’s book it lasts 7 hours, in few parts on YouTube. I have never watched any of those movies above. Unfortunately I’m not a good movie watcher, quickly get overstimulated by tv or laptop, whatever device it is. There are very few movies I watched. I saw one sci fi movie about aliens but I can’t recall the name of it. These aliens looks a bit like octopus but walking and communicated by splashing black paint in circles and they had oval shaped looking like a rock space ship. There was one scientist who broke their communication code on a laptop. They could also show future because for them there is no difference between past, present and future. Who can guess what movie I’m talking about? I can’t recall the name… unfortunately. 

  • Wow someone else who knows about Erich Von Daniken... awesome! I watch a lot of his videos on YT, some are hours long, I don't mind though I could listen to him talk about aliens or the weather all day long lol. I read his intriguing Chariots of the Gods when I was probably a little young to do so, and have since read Miracles of the Gods, both I love and now own my own copies - my mum got fed up with me taking hers Wink

  • Wow! Great someone else like Erich Von Daniken! I Read his chariots of the gods, also the stone age was quite different and I wanted to order the eyes of the Sphinx but it’s not available now. I can also listen to him for hours. First time I heard him talking about Ezekiel and the wheels and this “temple” in high mountains, I had goosebumps and tears in my eyes because I felt that so intense. It’s XO fascinating how he talks about the temple osirion in Abydos, the Sphinx, the great pyramid of Giza, also the Nazca lines and Buddha in his chariot… many many stories that to me make perfect sense
