mars attacks (1996)

"...For the fundamental truth self-determination of the cosmos, for dark is the suede that mows like a harvest. "
An alien race makes contact with earth but their early peaceful actions only mask a warped and barbaric intention to destroy the world. The US president then has to contend with warmongering generals on one side and a seriously nuts alien race on the other. Help comes from the most unexpected people, rather than the scientists who have to admit they do not understand the aliens intentions.
Tim Burton's homage to the 50's alien invasion films, chock full of blackly comic moments, hammed up by a stella cast including Jack Nicholson, Danny DeVito, Pierce Brosnan, and Glenn Close.
