Today I'm going to give a glimpse at how Hollywood has portrayed aliens over the years. Next week, I'm going to take a more scientific approach.
Now, in Hollywood, aliens have been those hiding on Earth, trying to blend in or not be found, and also those arriving to take over.
Here are just a sample of the variety of aliens in movies:
Earth Girls Are Easy
Close Encounters of the Third Kind
And here's a top 10 list of Alien races in film from WatchMojo.com:
See any you like? So, based on Hollywood's portrayal of extraterrestrials, what do YOU think an alien might look like? Are there any movies that resemble your idea better?

Jessica, your posts are always awesome. Love this one. My fav aliens are the Navi from Avatar. I think it's because of they way they can interact with their world--which means they protect it. Of course, the Ewoks are cute. And so is E.T. How can I choose just one? LOL
This post IS awesome, and I'm not even a sci-fi fan. (Although authors like you and Diane Burton make it interesting). Out of all the top ten, I've only seen two of the movies, Predator because Arnold was in it, and E.T. because I had small children at the time, LOL. The Predator aliens are my fave, because they're wicked. Great job!
Diane - Thank you so much! Posts ideas like this smack me upside the head, much like a story. LOL Glad you enjoyed the post! Those are two of my favorite Hollywood alien species, too. :)
Alicia - Thank you very much! I try to make sci-fi fun, interesting, and even sexy. I remember watching Predator II after coming home from work, and laughing most of the movie. I must have been very tired. LOL
I never realized the math guy from Jurassic Park was an alien. Now everything makes so much more sense.
Yes, Liza, and in ID4, he helps to save us from an alien invasion. ;-)
