This or Contact or Signs or WOTW or CEOTTK?
Best alien on earth film?
shareSigns is fun and Contact is good - other than the religious mumbo-jumbo in each of them.
The original WOTW is a classic. The kids in the Spielberg version are too annoying to watch twice.
What is CEOFTK?
Should be Close Encounters of the Third Kind... However, the "O" letter shouldn't be there, or there is a missing "T". So, you use all the lower case letters of the title or you don't use any.
shareDamn! I thought you were talking about the classic Capitulate Earth Or Face The Konsequences.
shareCEotTK?
I saw Close Encounters on the big screen again last year. It wasn't as fun as the first time, but my daughter loved it!
Arrival is alright, but it has too many fantasy elements for me.
It is strange that E.T. the Extraterrestrial was not included. Perhaps this is for serious films only.
District 9 is also very good.
I haven't seen WOTW but of the others, I'd put Arrival first, however, Signs is a more fun re-watchable film for me. I like them all though.
shareStarman,Close encounters,The Hidden and Night of the creeps are a few of my favorites.Critters and the Blob (88 version) are guilty pleasures.
shareOut of the ones already mentioned, I go with Arrival. From a pure cinematic standpoint, to me this one edges out all of them.
Other great ones: District 9, Predator, Independence Day, The Iron Giant (alien origin anyway), E.T., They Live, Men in Black series, Super 8, Invasion of the Body Snatchers (original and remake), and Mars Attacks! (more for the wild entertainment value)

shareThis should be at the every bottom of your list. Even goofy 1950's creature features are better.
