Title: Day Of The Facehuggers
The Plot: It isn't doable as a prequel so it doesn’t really count, but it’d be remiss of us not to mention the franchise's worrying potential for a standard Earth-based apocalypse shooter.
So, as ever, wave upon wave of ET attack ships rain fiery, acid-dripping punishment down on several of America’s most easily identifiable buildings and landmarks. Sigh.
Most Awesome Scene: They blow up the White House! No, wait, been done. They blow up the World Trad-...uh, better not. They blow up the Las Vegas strip! Ah, screw you Con Air - only so many tourist traps look sexy falling over in slow motion, y’know.
Starring: Shia LaBeouf and Denise Richards, with Samuel L Jackson pacing around a strip-lit bunker as Professor Triedtowarnyou, PhD.
Title: Alien Outreach
The Plot: Eco-themed morality tale. It's the consumer-driven 1980s, and few of us have heard of global warming...but the Xenomorphs have. In fact, their planet is screwed, and they approach us for help.
NASA, however, decide to let the repeated calls for aid go straight to voicemail, citing massive costs. Which makes the aliens really hate us, so over the next two decades, they start to warm our planet from afar...
Most Awesome Scene: Our first fly-by of the colossal 'astral wind cannon' - fundamentally a giant hairdryer - with which the aliens plan to teach us the error of our ways.
Starring: Leonardo DiCaprio, Angelina Jolie. Cameo from Al Gore. Voiceover by Morgan Freeman.

Ripley Redux actually sounds weirdly fascinating. :)

My friend has always said they should set an alien film on earth. Alien v predator doesnt count!!!! A queen some how gets to earth and lives in the sewers. Her babies drag people into the darkness of the underground to be hosts. Marines investigate, chaos follows. I suggested the aliens meet the Teenage Mutant Turtles and theres a hybrid/mix of turtle and alien with Leonardo getting a facehugger and Raphael getting his rightfull place as leader. But he said i was being silly.

Not any sillier than this gem: "200 years after the conclusion of Alien 3, the company is able to resurrect Ripley through the process of cloning and the scientists successfully take the Queen Alien out of her. But, Ripley's DNA gets mixed up with the Queen's and she begins to develop certain alien characteristics."

@metalgatesolid That's a great idea! Also, maybe then the turtles can prove to everyone that it was Krang leading the Aliens the whole time!

You know what Filmaholik we should patent that idea, go to the studios and sell it. Krang wasnt in the Turtles films at all and now could be his movie debut. We will be millionairs.
