5 Alien movies to watch before Roswell, New Mexico returns
By Mads Lennon
It’ll be a while before Roswell, New Mexico returns for its second season. While waiting, why not keep yourself in the mood with some alien-themed films?
The first season of Roswell, New Mexico wrapped up with its grand finale a few months ago. Unfortunately, as a mid-season series, it’s unlikely we’ll see season two until early 2020.
Sadly, we probably won’t get a trailer or any significant teasers for the new season for several months either. However, if you want a rest from rewatching the show on Netflix, why not keep yourself in the alien mood by watching a couple of films starring some famous extra-terrestrials?

Before John Boyega played Finn in Star Wars and before Jodie Whitaker portrayed the first female doctor on Doctor Who, the pair were co-starring in a terrifically entertaining alien film called Attack the Block.
The movie follows a group of teenagers who have to defend their neighborhood against aggressive aliens. Attack the Block currently sits at 90% on Rotten Tomatoes. Despite its critical acclaim, it’s one of the lesser-known alien-themed movies, but I promise you it’s worth watching!
