We have been lucky enough to have been introduced to plenty of cool Lifeforms over the years...
Who or What were your best and worst Outer Space creatures?

the best creature is ALIEN ,because is the perfect organism,and they live ofer the years,and the worst blob!!!

Alien and the thing are the best for me...
The worst are possibly modern zombies
Have you heard of phoenix asteroids?
They glow in every color of the rainbow...they travel endlessly through space...

My favourite sc-fi characters would have to be Predator, because he is a dreadlock and mask wearing, laser shooting, invisible warrior, who keeps skulls as trophys. Also Arnold as Terminator, dont need to explain why i think.
Xeno you are right modern zombies are poor, and I am legend...wtf
But what film Alien disappointed me was War of the Worlds, i felt it needed to show more, and the Aliens werent believable, i still like the film, but i dislike when stuff is not explained in movies. Prometheus has done this also, but im patient because there will be a sequel.

The excellent: anything made by Wayne Barlowe. It's no coincidence he did concept art for Hellboy 1&2, Avatar, and Pacific Rim. Those things look like they are from another world, while also being plausible organisms. Apart from mile-high striders, but I'm won over by the visuals to grant him those.
The good: Rygel from Farscape. Love, love, love that manipulative bastard. The way that puppet became an engaging character in the show is amazing.
The bad: pretty much anything from Star Trek, sorry. I understand that tight TV budgets made things beyond pointy ears and ridged foreheads unaffordable, but come on. Yeah, I'm not too keen on rubberfaced humanoid aliens. Doctor Who at least does interestingly cheesy things with its lint money.
The ugly: the Space Jockeys. Nah, I kid :)
The whole point of this is lost if you keep it a secret.

Wayne Barlowe is incredible Blandcorporatio!

Noticed you changed the image in your post, which used to be

and imo shows off the versatility as well. But y'all, if you haven't done a google image search of his work, do so. It's worth it.

(apparently the img tag didn't take kindly to the "?w=640;h=385;crop=1;" part)
Of course. Giger's an obvious choice for me as well :)
I left the screenings of Prometheus that I attended chanting Giger! Giger!! GIGER!!1123
The moment when the Engineer launches for Earth gives me goosebumps even on reviewing. Nice set work.

I just finished watching 'The Giant Gila Monster' and the monster was a bad actor.
My favorite SciFi creature would be Robby The Robot from 'Forbidden Planet'
He has it all including a bit of humor.

Yes, this film exists. No it's not a parody, as far as I know.

Thanks for posting a few pix from the Gila Monster movie. It is not a classix SciFi movie bur did appeal to the Drive-In movie going set.(Are there Drive-in Movies outside of the USA?)
Stay away from the original song being promoted in this flix as it sounds, well, alien.
In looking over the pix here sometimes the cars look like toys. That can't be true can it?

Night of the Lepus
This is one movie that I missed. Yes the film clip makes me want to avoid the movie at all costs.
In checking the acting credits I see that Star Trek 'Bones' has a role in this movie. That doesn't help.
It has been awhile but I think it was a TV movie rather than a theater release..

I was not familiar with any of Wayne Barlow's work He is quite reknowned and respected.
I saw a not he was working on Preproduction drawings for Blade II.
He will contue to be an indluence in the world we love.
Thanks for mentioning his name.
