Might as well discuss the various alien invasion movies:
Best Alien Invasion movie Ever? War of the Worlds (1953)
Best Alien Invasion movie since 1990: Tie between Independence Day (best overall since War of the Worlds) and Battle: Los Angeles. You get the big picture with the former, and the grunts on the ground in the latter.
Best Alien Invasion on the small screen: V (the original movie and the Final Battle miniseries) Forget both the 1984-5 TV series and the recent remake (since cancelled). Honorable mention to Falling Skies, which got renewed for another season.
And the worst: Skyline (avoid like it's carrying Ebola or the Plague), and Spielberg's War of the Worlds. Even Spielberg admitted that more combat between the military and the invaders should've been depicted, even if it was losing battles.
