Making the alien genre into a black comedy was a wise move for this now-classic film. As the titular Men in Black, Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith expertly play off each other like chalk and cheese, but it's the aliens themselves that really make the film memorable.

Tiny aliens controlling a 'human' face by little levers, a dog that can speak and a farmer turned alien warlord are just a few examples of this film's originality in the creature department.
