Assignment Outer Space (1960)

In the 21st century Ray Peterson, reporter for the Interplanetary News, is assigned to write a story aboard a space station. Tension mounts between Peterson and the station commander, who believes he is in the way, but has orders to leave him alone. Errant spaceship Alpha Two enters the solar system and its photon generators are radiating enough heat to destroy Earth as it approaches. It falls to Peterson to try to figure out a way to enter the spaceship, disarm the generators, and escape before suffocating.

Brother From Another Planet, The (1984)

A mute alien crash lands in Harlem chased by outer-space bounty hunters in this thought-provoking low budget cult classic. Brother From Another Planet is not your typical sci-fi outing. It is a surprisingly well acted film with an engaging story that defies the tiny $400k budget. Look closely for several rising stars like David Strathairn, Fisher Stevens and the lead character Joe Morton. The story is rich and solid enough to hold up to multiple viewings which helps explain why this has become a cult classic. The story connects on many levels. Parts of it feel like a retelling of the underground railroad from the civil war era in US history while parts of it feel like a precursor to big budget movies like Men in Black from the alien's perspective.
