Independence day sucked. A cheap ass remake of war of the worlds.
Firstly, the whole concept of ID blows. I mean, it starts off great. Unfortunately hollywood kills the plotline. To think that area 51 had a UFO, and for 60 years they couldnt get it to work. Then in 6 hours, a Scientist/technician who's never seen it before is able to fix it up and get it flying again! Then manages to manuever it into perfect position, and fly back to SW desert! Freakin silly...
It was so good, people didn't even notice it was sci-fi. Cliff Robertson won best actor in it.
Charlie was the movie version of Flowers for Algernon, which won a Hugo for best science fiction nouvella. I wish I could remember who wrote it because he made a really good acceptance speech. "If anyone can tell me how I did this, please do, because I'd like to do it again." No one told him, and he never again managed to get a story published.

Also, ID4 said the crash occured "In the Fifties", it occured in 1947.
And it wasn't a "crash", it was a "event"!
Today, you are the waves of the Pacific, pushing ever eastward. You are the sequoias rising from the Sierra Nevada, defiant and enduring.
Actually, Zkribbler, Daniel Keyes has written a number of published books, his most famous (because I've read it) being "The Minds of Billy Milligan", a non-fiction account of a man with multi-personality disorder. I think the actual case is controversial as to whether it was all a put-up job, but the book was a best seller in it's day, so...

I'm glad someone mentioned Pitch Black
Which side are we on? We're on the side of the demons, Chief. We are evil men in the gardens of paradise, sent by the forces of death to spread devastation and destruction wherever we go. I'm surprised you didn't know that. --Saul Tigh
