Not sure where to put it, so I'll stick it here. Deals with the politics behind alien contact, which seems even more relevant in today's political climate.

District 9 (2009)

Set in South Africa. Aliens come not as invaders or exploitable natives, but as confused refugees. Lots of action and spectacular special effects.
