“Men in Black 3” opens this weekend, reuniting Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones in all their alien busting glory. The film also brings back make-up artist/ alien designer Rick Baker, who won one of his seven Academy Awards for the first “Men in Black” (1997). His unique aliens are some of the most impressive ever to grace the silver screen, but are they the most impressive?

Choosing a best cinematic alien ever is tough to decide, but after some serious finagling, we were able to pin down our Top 50 Aliens of all time. Some are benevolent and good, others are chillingly bad, but all of them are tops.

Did one of your favorites not make the cut? Let us know in the comments!
