Men In Black

The highest-grossing film at that time in Columbia history, this high-impact adaptation of the comic book deftly blends high-tech science-fiction with comedy. It turns out that many people on Earth who appear to be human are aliens, and it's up to an elite secret force to monitor their activities. Tommy Lee Jones stars as veteran Agent "Kay" and Will Smith, his trash-talking new agent, "Jay." Also on hand is Rip Torn as their boss, Linda Fiorentino as a helpful medical examiner, and Vincent D'Onofrio as the human host of a not-too-friendly space beastie. Directed by Barry Sonnenfeld, co-produced by Steven Spielberg's Amblin Productions, and featuring delightful visual effects from Industrial Light & Magic, this film cut across all ages and spectrums, pleasing everybody.
