OBOZ.UA has compiled a rating of interesting movies that are best suited for the fall. This top 10 is also suitable for those who are tired of horror.

Men in Black

Let's start with the classics. The 1997 sci-fi comedy directed by Barry Sonnenfeld has become a cult film in the genre. It starred Tommy Lee Jones, Will Smith, Vincent D'Onofrio, Linda Fiorentino, and Rip Torn. Few people know that "Men in Black" is actually an adaptation of the comic book series of the same name.

One and a half thousand aliens secretly live on Earth. In this regard, a secret bureau for cooperation with aliens, the Men in Black, was created. Contacts between people and UFOs are strictly regulated – even a special memory neutralizer has been created to help keep the fact of the presence of aliens secret for the majority of the Earth's population. One day, the agents come across a case of a representative of the "beetle" invading race: an alien eats a farmer and puts on his skin. The Men in Black have to prevent an intergalactic war. If you haven't seen "Men in Black" yet, Halloween is the perfect time to catch up.
