What did he see? Was it aliens or just a trick of the light? If it were aliens, why are they here and what do the want? Do they mean us harm and if so can anybody stop them?

To follow on from our latest review of Earth vs. the Flying Saucers, we thought it best to do a list of our favourite Alien Invasion Movies, because what’s a site like this without a list or two.
There are many types of alien invasions that have happened in the world of movies, from secret conspiracies and straight out wars to alien infiltration and colonisations. So we decided to narrow it down to our favourite flying saucer based invasions, with destruction and mayhem abound and people running and screaming in panic.
So enjoy, discuss, disagree and comment.
In a new era of science and at the dawn of the space race, people were looking to the sky, wondering what was out there. Not just in awe, but also in fear. With U.S. paranoia of communism on the rise and the fear of the unknown, the thought of an invasion, human or otherwise, was very high in the minds of the public. To fuel this paranoia come the film ‘Earth vs. the Flying Saucers’
Scientist, Dr. Russell A. Marvin and his new wife Carol Marvin are on their way to a military base to undertake the launch of a brand new satellite system, when the witness what seems to be a flying saucer. Was what they saw real and if so what does this mean to mankind, do they come in peace or to enslave!!!
In a picturesque Sicilian fishing village all is peaceful and serene. Fishermen are out on the boats bringing in the catch of the day.

Did anybody or anything survive the crash if so what havoc would be unleashed on humanity?
In this ground-breaking film with special-effects be the great Ray Harryhausen, we see inept scientist and military officials run around Italy after something that is perfectly harmless unless provoked. I know lets poke it with big sticks, electrocute it and stick it in a laboratory, that’ll do the trick.
