Cast: Jack Nicholson, Pierce Brosnan, Sarah Jessica Parker

Take some 50s alien invasion films, add the star bodycount of 70s disaster movies, round it off with the weird imagination of Tim Burton, and you have this expensive sci-fi spoof. The ETs literally are little green men, wreaking havoc on earth while disparate bunches of humans fight back. Good gags, great design and eye-popping computer animation, but it doesn't really connect as a complete film.
