Last month in anticipation of the releases of Battle: Los Angeles<\/span>, Mars Needs Moms<\/span> and Paul<\/span>, for Moving Pictures<\/span> I compiled a top ten list of the best alien movies<\/a>. Out of curiosity, I researched the streaming availability of the films. I referenced Netflix<\/a>, Amazon Prime<\/a>, Crackle<\/a>, Hulu<\/a>, Hulu Plus<\/a>, and the Internet Archive<\/a>. As a service to the Geek Curmudgeon faithful, I present my findings.<\/p>\n

\n10. District 9<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Netflix<\/a><\/p>\n

\n9. The War of the Worlds<\/span> (1953)<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Currently not available.<\/p>\n

\n8. Superman<\/span> (1978)<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Netflix<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

7. The Thing<\/span> (1982)<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Netflix<\/a><\/p>\n

\n6. The Iron Giant<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Netflix<\/a><\/p>\n

\n5. Invasion of the Body Snatchers<\/span> (1956)<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Currently not available, but Netflix does offer the excellent 1978 remake<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

4. Alien<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Currently not available.<\/p>\n

\n3. Aliens<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Netflix<\/a><\/p>\n

\n2. Close Encounters of the Third Kind<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Netflix<\/a><\/p>\n

\n1. Day the Earth Stood Still<\/span> (1951)<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Currently not available.<\/p>\n

\nVery disappointing. Only six available for streaming and only via Netflix. If you want to catch all of these films, you need to rent some DVDs.<\/p>\n

\n<\/p>\n

\n*Word of caution. This info is accurate as of April 20, 2011. The availability of streaming titles is nearly always in flux. YMMV.*<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
