Aliens, X-File Men In Black

We have seen a rise in conspiracy style shows and movies and most notable are the Men in Black type people who may or may not be of this Earth. The success of the X-Files and the rise in UFO mania has created a multitude of shows based off the fame of X-Files. In the horror genre we have seen many films use this idea and most of them were hostile alien encounters. From the 50's monster movies which had alien baddies to the recent Independence Day and Mars Attacks!, we see most alien movies falling into the Science Fiction genre but we have had a few cross overs of note. The Thing From Another World, It:The Terror From Space, Planet of Vampires and Alien are the most well known alien horror films and are ironically more or less the same story. John Carpenter's The Thing would also provide a terrifying creature who was definitely not of this Earth. There are many more alien movies but as mentioned earlier they tend to be more Science Fiction and not so much Horror. I have decided to list only those films which I feel cross both genres.
