My Stepmother is an Alien
Why this pick
Another glossy late-1980s fish-out-of-water sci-fi comedy, pairing an extraterrestrial visitor with Earth dating rituals, bright suburban style, and breezy romantic absurdity.

The Man with Two Brains
Why this pick
Its cheerfully artificial sci-fi premise, broad sexual comedy, and vivid pop-energy silliness make it a strong fit for Earth Girls Are Easy’s knowingly cartoonish sensibility.
03
The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension
Why this pick
A colourful, eccentric 1980s alien-invasion comedy with deliberately playful world-building, deadpan weirdness, and an infectious anything-can-happen attitude.
04
What Planet Are You From?
Why this pick
This reverses the visitor’s gender but keeps the central comic pleasure: an alien tries to understand human desire and social rituals through wildly awkward, adult-oriented satire.
05
Vibes
Why this pick
Cyndi Lauper’s offbeat comic presence, sunny late-1980s styling, romantic bickering, and supernatural goofiness offer a similarly playful, affectionate cult-comedy wavelength.

01 / THE STORY
A little about the film.
Three furry aliens—the blue Mac, the yellow Zeebo, and the red Wiploc—are traveling in a space ship. It has been a long time since they have had female companionship, and they receive a broadcast showing human females. They are titillated by these "hairless", shapely creatures, and when they discover that the broadcast came from Earth, they set off and land in Southern California.
