Jordan Peele’s movies beg to be closely scrutinized: they’re full of historical and cultural Easter eggs, double meanings and sociopolitical commentary. His first two films, Get Out and Us, have provoked endless analysis from professors, psychologists, and historians, with Get Out even inspiring a whole class at UCLA. Peele isn’t shy about his conc...
But for characters battling a giant sky monster that eats people, they spend an awful lot of time primarily worried about… filming it? It seems like a quarter of all movies that make it into theaters these days are so-called “love letters to Hollywood” (see: La La Land, Mank, Once Upon a Time…In Hollywood, Licorice Pizza). Nope repeatedly gestures ...
We’re still not entirely sure what the gaping organ on the underbelly of our UFO-turned-predator is (a mouth? An eye? Both?), but it certainly does seem to be watching us. OJ pieces this together, too, when he interrupts a burger run to posit that maybe the creature—like a horse—spooks at direct eye contact. It wants to watch, never to bewatched. A...
Or maybe that Winkin’ Well photo has a different meaning entirely. Toward the beginning of the movie, Emerald explains to a sound stage full of people that her great-great (great) grandfather was the jockey who was the subject of the first known assembly of photographs creating a motion picture. Those photos were assembled by Eadweard Muybridge, kn...
You knew we’d end up here, didn’t you? By now, it’s a cliche to yell “late stage capitalism!” about pieces of media that even reference economic structures or wage labor. But bear with us here: When you zoom out, it becomes evident that the throughline of each of Nope’s subplots is the grave danger of wrangling the untameable into a for-profit spec...
But the question remains: Do we have to have our cake and eat it too? Do we need both a big, fun summer monster movie and a treatise on the follies of capitalism in Hollywood? Or can we just let Jordan Peele enjoy his cake: a well-deserved dessert after the daring, draining concepts of Get Out and Us? Both of Nope’s forerunners delved deep into dar...

- Alien. Tom Skerritt, Sigourney Weaver, John Hurt. 278 votes. Alien, directed by Ridley Scott, redefined the horror genre by introducing a terrifying extraterrestrial creature with a nightmarish, unstoppable nature.
- Predator. Arnold Schwarzenegger, Carl Weathers, Jesse Ventura. 244 votes. Predator offers a unique take on the alien horror genre by blending action and suspense elements to create a thrilling cat-and-mouse game between humans and an extraterrestrial hunter.
- The Thing. Kurt Russell, Wilford Brimley, T.K. Carter. 253 votes. John Carpenter's The Thing brings a chilling twist to the already frightening concept of extraterrestrial life: it can hide in plain sight, taking the form of other living beings.
The movie contains a good general overview of the subject in terms of sightings, cases, historical timelines, etc. Several personalities in the UFO community of the time make appearances; some, shall we say, more colorful than others. Various theories on UFO propulsion are forwarded.
