Cinematic aliens, for the most part, like to sow terror once they fall in our midst - think of the acid-blooded "Aliens," the people-mulching tripods of "War of the Worlds," the uber-hunter in "Predator," and "Gerard Depardieu."
Aliens that do come in peace are usually too otherworldly to be compatible for romance - no one wants to date "ET.
But every now and then, a humanoid alien lands, looking hotter than the two suns over Tatooine, and we can't blame anyone for wanting to see the blue side of the moonlight with them.
Starting with Alex Pettyfer's gorgeous extra-terrestrial in "I Am Number Four," here are nine movie aliens we'd definitely hook up with - as farsighted as we could stay alive afterwards. John Smith (Alex Pettyffer), 'I Am Number Four' (2011)
He's blond, broody, and has super-sexy scars. If that's not enough to make Pettyfer's Lorien-born "John Smith" an extraterrestrial teenage dream, he too has some useful skills - he runs fast, jumps high, and shoots light beams from his hands. As Dianna Agron's small-town beauty discovers, Smith is also a brave, young gentleman. If but he didn't do with such baggage - metalhead-looking sadistic aliens trying to defeat him - he'd be perfect. 
She's actually a mark of strange and human DNA, but that's good enough for us. The ultimate femme fatale, Sil went through guy after guy looking for a suitable baby-alien-daddy. Those that didn't have the cut got cut - like the guy Sil impaled with her tongue during a French kiss. Since some of us not-so-fondly remember our teen dates drooling over Sil, it's hard to notice a better "hot alien" for this list. 
Decades before he was The Great or Rooster Cogburn, Bridges played an alien clone of a widow's (Karen Allen) recently deceased husband. He's tenderhearted (he resurrects a dead deer! and has abs to rival Matthew McConaughey's. Though he never quite masters English, he catches on to the ways of man love in a fall of a star - "I give you baby," he tells Allen after only one bout of intergalactic union. 
Tahnee is the girl of legendary movie babe Raquel Welch, so, it's no surprise that she's irresistible to Steve Guttenberg's character, even if her body is but a shell disguising her inner alien. If you've never seen Ron Howard's awesome sci-fi tearjerker, let's just say you're missing one of the best inter-species love scenes ever. She peels off her skin, shows off her glowing alien life force, and makes Guttenberg a very happy man. 
He had a big cape to fill, but Routh managed to make the Bryan Singer-directed Man of Steel a sexy superhero for a new generation of smitten moviegoers. Routh is a Doppelganger to the previous Superman, Christopher Reeve - all broad shoulders and imposing height - and let's face it, who wouldn't ask a date who could whisk you into the air, undress you with his eyes and carry you off into the sunset - literally. 
Jovovich's Leeloo is an alien savior sent to aid humanity for once, so she's not merely hot, she's on our side. Plus, it doesn't hurt that she can kick pretty much anyone's butt and spends most of the film wearing what looks like three strategically placed ace bandages. Despite all the skin-bearing, she's more Neytiri than Sil, and that's a good thing, boys. 
While Flash Gordon today is remembered largely for its campiness and Queen soundtrack, for boys of a certain age, Princess Aura brings back memories of the ultimate bad girl - and not just because she's the girl of the evil Ming the Merciless. Even though her royal sexiness had lovers stashed away in all corners of her planet, she tried to make way for one more, the titular football player and redeemer of the universe. 
You've heard the smurf jokes, watched the hilariously bawdy "SNL" sketch, perhaps even donned the sexy Halloween costumes. But even though Neytiri's blue and prefers doing things with her tail, she`s still beautiful enough for us to imagine that Sam Worthington's Jake would do for the warrior princess. So what if she's a completely CGI creation? She is partly modeled after the beautiful Saldana, after all. 
In his prime, the late Reeve was a gorgeous, strapping man, whose azure eyes and jet-black hair perfectly embodied the Krypton-born Kal-El. Raised on Earth as Clark Kent, he transforms into Superman whenever Metropolis needs a hero. Even if he didn't have passion and X-ray vision, the gift of flight, and superhuman strength, the comic-book icon would nevertheless be quite the watch in his tights and tall boots. Lois Lane was quite the golden lady.
