Did we mention we had an unhealthy obsession with aliens back in the “90s?

In 1996, Will Smith punched an alien in the face(?). We thought that was so cool! “Welcome to E”rph!” That movie made a ton of money so let”s just make an entire movie where Will Smith punches, shoots and wrestles aliens. Cha-ching!

The “90s existed between wars. We didn”t have the Soviets or Iraq to be worried about. More than anything, we were scared shitless of aliens. In “97, a meteor came by Earth to say “Hi.” which prompted a cult to freak out, understandably assume a spaceship Greyhound bus was hiding behind it and promptly killed themselves in a mass suicide to get on board.

So, with aliens on our minds, Men In Black premiered in theaters and raked in $250M (in the US) when all was said and done. So, we liked it.
