One of my favourite Tim Burton films!
Based on the Mars Attacks trading card series, this film has an ensemble cast including: Jack Nicholson (in a dual role), Glenn Close, Annette Bening, Pierce Brosnan, Danny DeVito, Martin Short, Sarah Jessica Parker, Michael J. Fox, Rod Steiger, Lukas Haas, Pam Grier, Natalie Portman, Jack Black, Lisa Marie, and suprisingly a turn by singer Tom Jones! (Love his scene on stage with the martians)
Wonderfully dark and funny and silly, and the aliens look great, with special mention tp Lisa Marie as the Martian Girl infiltrating the whitehouse. Great music of course by Danny Elfman.
Definetly a more humours approach to alien invasion, inspired by the great sci-fi B-movie Earth Vs The Flyting Saucers, which I also have a particar fondness for!
