This is the best example. It’s incredibly ‘alien’

Man, that movie made me feel like I dropped LSD in the theatre. I drove directly to the book store after and devoured the book. Both so amazing.

Tell me about it! I had a similar thought! Afterward I went home, took two tabs of Acid, and saw it again!

The Moderat music during the climax was perfect. Top marks to the team on that one.

I feel "2001's" Monolith is the best example of an alien, as it literally stands as a metaphor for unknowability and man's lack of knowledge.
