The theme of alien invasion in movies revolves around the idea of extraterrestrial beings from other planets or galaxies coming to Earth with hostile intentions or a desire to conquer or manipulate humanity. This theme often explores the tension and fear that arise from the unknown, the clash of civilizations, and the vulnerability of our planet and species.
There are different variations of alien invasion scenarios. The "War of the Worlds" style portrays large-scale destruction and conflict, emphasizing the chaos and devastation caused by a direct assault. On the other hand, the "Invasion of the Bodysnatchers" approach delves into psychological horror and the idea that anyone could be an imposter, leading to paranoia and mistrust. Some stories use comedy to subvert the seriousness of the invasion theme and exaggerate the tropes or use humor to highlight the absurdity of the situation.
This list comprises movies that I consider worth watching and exemplify the trope across various genres.
No animation, superhero, comic, battle mech, or post-apocalyptic movies allowed on this list.
I included a few edge cases that, technically, are not invasion movies but align closely with the overarching theme.

Middle-earth is the fictional setting of much of British writer J. R. R. Tolkien's legendarium. The term is equivalent to the term Midgard of Norse mythology, describing the human-inhabited world, that is, the central continent of the Earth in Tolkien's imagined mythological past. Tolkien's most widely read works, The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, take place entirely in Middle-earth, and Middle-earth has also become a short-hand to refer to the legendarium and Tolkien's fictional take on the world. Within his stories, Tolkien translated the name "Middle-earth" as Endor and Ennor in the Elvish languages Quenya and Sindarin respectively, sometimes referring only to the continent on which stories take place, with another southern continent called the Dark Land.
