I'd put this in the top 5 of 1997. Men in Black is proof that when you make a comedic science-fiction film, you don't have to do it by making fun of an existing one. I know, some people consider it a "Ghostbusters of the 1990's," but I don't believe that. The Ghostbusters never hid what they were all about, in fact they were publicity hounds, who exploited it for all it was worth. The MiB's did everything possible to hide themselves, their activities, and the supernatural creatures they sought to conceal, although hiding a flying saucer from thousands of baseball fans at Shea Stadium must be quite a task.
From what I know about people who truly believe that aliens are among us, the MiB's are a threat. This movie takes this portion of UFO folklore and turns it upside down. I wonder if the creator of the comic book believes in UFO's.
I wish you could give us the opportunity to give fractions of votes, because instead of voting "7," I'd vote "7.5!"
