Men in Black (1997)

[BOOYAH SUCKAS]

This and Independence Day are what made Will Smith a superstar. Perhaps most impressively it outgrossed The Lost World on the domestic front despite that movie destroying the Opening Weekend record. A blend of star power, impressive cgi and humor led this film to become a 90's classic.

I just watched this movie again not too long ago and it's still great.
