Men in Black (1997)

They're here- and they have social security numbers. Aliens are everywhere, just trying to get along like the rest of us, mostly, under the watchful eyes of an extra-governmental police agency, The Men in Black. Agent K (Tommy Lee Jones) picks out a New York cop (Will Smith) to become his new partner, J, initiating him into the secrets of the universe: galactic weaponry, memory erasers and power dressing. At the same time an unintegrated alien bug takes residence in the loose-fitting body of farmer D'Onfrio, with a plan that might mean curtains for the planet. A $5.00 double feature with The Fifth Element.
