====Survey - in support of the move====
#Support. Unless they're films made by aliens (note all the "List of (Fooian) films"). Target title is more accurate. --SigPig |SEND - OVER 10:21, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: *Comment If people search for "alien films" there can be a redirect. In fact there is no article named "alien" on Wikipedia - the article is called Extraterrestrial life. Croxley 02:01, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

#Oppose. New title would be overlong and people would search for alien films

message: Is someone going to convert the list format into the table format the article under this title had before the move, as i suggested above? --Waldir 21:36, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Oh well... after some time adding the years, I converted the list to the table format. Now it can be sorted by year or name. Any suggestions for more columns? Say, director, or something... Waldir 21:47, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

message: My wife tells me that the 'aliens' in Toy Story are actually just toys.  Thus, I don't think this should count since toy aliens don't match the definition of extraterrestrial in any way at all, so please remove Toy Story from the list.  --Brindy666 (talk) 15:12, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Toy Story 

message: At the end of Cloverfield, it clearly shows the monster dropping into the water from out of the sky. This means that the monster IS from outer space, and DOESN'T come from the ocean like it says at the bottom. Can someone please correct this?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.36.50.185 (talk) 19:38, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: No, that was a satellite falling out of orbit that awoke the monster, which was deep in the ocean (a deliberate homage to Cthulhu.) oknazevad (talk) 20:28, 28 November 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: The newest film The Cloverfield Paradox confirms that the invasions/attacks are from alien life forms.--206.81.136.61 (talk) 22:20, 5 February 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cloverfield 

message: This page is, in a sense, omnivore: I see that it contains films as 2010 or Contact, where the existence of extraterrestrial life is essential to the plot, films as Alien or the Thing, where the nature of the alien is again important, films as "Star Wars" and a part of the space opera where aliens are only exotic populations, but not the centre point of the plot, and films where the aliens are present only as a gag. I was searching for something more definite (and perhaps more useful for a research). --80.88.167.6 (talk) 15:53, 15 September 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: You're right. We could split the page into sections using the classification you mention. Feel free do to so :) --Waldir talk 14:04, 8 January 2011 (UTC)

message: I don't recall any extraterrestrials in that movie.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.15.204.49 (talk) 20:42, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: They aren't displayed explicitly onscreen, but they're implied and a crucial part of the plot. --Waldir talk 14:01, 8 January 2011 (UTC)

message: Someone needs to create a jump-list of A-Z at the top of this list so that readers don't have to scroll so far down to find what they're looking for. Should be a relatively easy fix. --206.81.136.61 (talk) 22:22, 5 February 2018 (UTC)

message: Why is the second X-Files movie listed here? The first one was about aliens. The second one was about the psychic (Father Joe) and the guy who was kidnapping people and stealing organs.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by John Fitzgerald Byers (talk • contribs) 06:28, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
