One of the Best

Rating: 9/10 (10 September 1998)

On my top ten list of the best movies of all time, Men in Black is a fantastic sci-fi/comedy which introduces us to a universe where Earth has aliens living among us. Will Smith's character is initiated into the group in charge of policing these extraterrestrials by Tommy Lee Jones' character. Smith has shown very early in his movie career that he has a cinema presence not easily matched. My favorite part of the movie is where Jones tells Smith "A Person is Smart. People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals; and you know it. 1500 years ago, everyone knew that Earth was the center of the universe, 500 years ago, everyone knew that the earth was flat, and 15 minutes ago you knew that people were alone on this planet. Imagine what you will know tomorrow."
