ET named the greatest alien movie ever
Steven Spielberg's ET has been named as the best alien movie ever made.The 1982 classic, which starred a young Drew Barrymore and a long-fingered alied, beat off competition from the likes of War of the Worlds and Star Trek for the top slot.
Will Smith's Men In Black came in second in the poll of over 7,500 people with Independence Day coming third.
The 1979 blockbuster Alien, starring Tom Skerritt and Sigourney Weaver, was fourth and Transformers, released in 2007, was fifth.
We like to think the fact it was made-for-television is the only reason the classic 1986 alien move 'Project: ALF' didn't make the list.
A spokesman for PhonePiggyBank.com, which carried out the study, said: "E.T. is a film for the whole family.
"It is emotionally-charged, funny and engaging and will never be equalled in terms of its originality and global appeal. It is a worthy winner and it actually beat a string of bigger budget movies to come top.
" Other films to make the top ten included Predator, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, and was released in 1987, which was sixth.
Star Trek (1966) was seventh, War Of The World's (2005) was eighth, Fifth Element (1997) was ninth and Aliens was tenth.
