Most Iconic Alien Encounters in Film
The most iconic alien encounters on film tend to leave an impact because they capture something human. Science fiction has always worked as an allegory for humanity's problems. H.G.

It has drawn inspiration from tons of fantasy literature--from Tolkein's Lord of the Rings to Michael Moorcock's Elric Saga.
