OooooooOooOoOoOOOOooooooo!
Exactly the sound I hear when thinking aliens, and I'm thinking long, boney fingers, scrawny body, humongous head and a light that shines from above.
But I also think about danger, horror, the unknown and death.
With these thoughts coming to mind so do movies and I must say I got a good mix of alien activity and the sights are unbelievable.
My top 3 choices starting with my favorite of them all:
Alien
To be precise Alien 3 is my favorite because it's downright weird. We are talking clones, cyborg, guys with attitude, bad ass chics, ans the horror factor with added creepy creatures (screwed up living clone and that one skeleton alien weird thing.)
The actual aliens we all know (like in Alien vs Predator), are very well designed and a seriously cool. Black, sleek and built for speed, what more could make these creatures top all others? Why, it's their acid spit and second mouth of course! Oh! And in the 3rd movie, they can swim. They can freakin' swim!!! If I were an alien, I would choose to be that one. Although they follow a queen so maybe not...
Second favorite.
This one's for some great actors and great acting. It even has one of my favorite actors, Gary Oldman, playing the bad guy. Although the character he plays is strange, he still pulls it off.
It's got action, adventure, romance, comedy and even opera... and a sexy woman. Don't worry, for the girls we get some good eye candy with Bruce Willis.
The story ties with Ancient Egypt that takes us into the future where extraterrestrials live amongst the humans as an everyday norm. So what's it about? I can't tell you more, you have got to see it if you haven't already.
My 3rd favorite.
Paul
This one takes you average grey up a notch with comedy and a bit of action.
The two main characters have some great comedy movies behind them (like Shaun of the Dead) and this one can be added to the list of great comedies.
We are always thinking that aliens would be speaking another language, maybe hostile etc but Paul takes the "out of this world" to something different yet is still out of this world. I really don't want to say too much about this movie. It really is a great comedy to watch. The characters and style of comedy is the reason why it's so easy to call this one a favorite. Get ready for some stomach aching laughter as you watch this other worldly kind.

Out of your 3, I've only seen Alien (the first one). For my entry, I've come up with 2, but I'm having a time thinking of number 3, as there were so many space or extraterrestrial movies there for a while.

Predator is definitely a really cool one. Although to me it felt like it was a man behind a mask and then some cool special effects. But it still was a good movie.

Three cracking choices @foxyspirit
Alien 3 is an interesting one. The original is one of my all time faves. 3 not so much. Having said that I think all the preceding movies are garbage so 3 is the last decent movie in the saga. Winona Ryder? She has gone on to make Stranger Things, I guess. lol.
The Fifth Element is a great movie. Like you have mentioned it has a stunning cast of actors including Ian Holm, the british actor that plays Bilbo Baggins in Lord of the Rings. The late Luke Perry is in there too. RIP. One of my family members is bonkers about this movie so I will leave the homage up to them! π
Paul! Simply, wet your pant funny! Seth Rogen is a voiceover genius and brings him, not only to life but one of the funniest, most interesting characters in recent (ish) movies. I love the nods and references to older movies seamlessly transitioned into Paul's life. The cast are amazing including Pegg and Frost who, lets face it, ARE the comic geeks that they are portraying. This will be my go to movie for a laugh for a long time.
Nicely done Foxy.

Winona was young in Alien 3 but still did ok. She's a great actor in Stranger things I find.
I had no idea Ian played in the 5th! I can't seem to remember seeing Luke Perry...with the priest? I have to say, I'm sorry for my ignorance, I had no idea he died. I just kind of forgot about him as I didn't see him often in movies, last being Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
For Paul, I couldn't have said it better myself... Actually I didn't but I didn't want to say all the spoils either. Just giving the trailer is enough of a sneak peak π
But I agree, definitely a go to for a good laugh!

Winona was always a strange casting decisions for me. That's not to say she didn't do a decent job, she is a great actress.
Ian Holm played the priest and Luke Perry was his assistant who gets killed off quite early. Easy to miss.
It's time for another Paul session..... Lol

She is strange. Loved her in Beetlejuice.
I watched the 5th Element again the other day just to see it and remember it all. I caught on to things I didn't before. Love it when that happens. It's almost like watching it for the 2nd time π

Great selection @foxyspirit of the three my line up would be number 3 for just good old fashioned fun and laughter.
Number 1 was a classic, good story line, great acting.
Alas number 2 not so sure I enjoyed that, a bit too much information, perhaps I had enough alien movies by then.

Ya the 5th element did have a lot of information seeking in it.
Alien does have a great story line and I like that they kept Segourney Weaver (not sure I spelled that right) throughout the series. Well that's before Alien vs predator of course. But in my opinion, if people make a second or third movie, keep the same actors, it makes it work.

There's a few in the comments that haven't seen the movies but are well worth watching. Perhaps not Alien because you don't like horror/action but the other you might like. 5th element does have action in it but has a lot of other elements included.

@foxyspirit - I'm with @free-reighn, I've only heard of (and enjoyed!) the first one. But this gives me something to find and watch on our movie nights. I like how you laid out your choices and providing the trailers so we can actually see a little bit about the movie. Every time I have entered, I've used the table format provided, but I might have to try a freestyle one and put in some trailers as well. Great job, too bad you can't win, but it was nice of you to help to increase the prize pool.

You know me, into my scary alien films... NOT! Haha, I gave alien vs predator and had nightmares for weeks so didn't touch them again. I can only assume they are great films, swimming aliens... yikes!
Paul is a bit more like it though, more my scene with light hearted comedy and Pegg & Frost are a great combination on the movie front!

The only kind of movies that have a lasting effect long after the movies watched in the horror genre would be exorcist, devil, possession crap. But it really has to be good. I still can't get myself to watch The Devil Inside.
Now Paul I would watch any day! Love their comedy!
