Edge of Tomorrow (2014)
Most sci-fi blockbusters just simply aren’t worth watching, but Edge of Tomorrow is a nice exception to that rule. Granted, the plot isn’t overly complicated or unpredictable, but at least this Tom Cruise movie will give you the alien-infested equivalent of the thrill ride that his Mission Impossible movies are.
Alien (1979)
Sadly after almost 45 years we’ve still not managed to find a movie that depicts the horror of what would happen if the aliens we meet don’t want to be our friends. Ridley Scott put himself and Sigourney Weaver solidly on the map with this movie and it’s hard to imagine anything every knocking this off its throne.
