Both these movies were released in 1996. I saw Independence Day first. Everyone had been raving about how great it was, and I just sat there, stunned. I could not believe this was not meant to be a parody. It hit every alien invasion cliché in existence, except water soluble aliens. It did nothing new or interesting. It had the worst presidential casting in history. It was the lamest thing I had ever seen, and I felt like summer blockbuster season was no excuse.
Then I saw Mars Attacks! It hit every alien invasion cliché, except water soluble aliens. The Martians sewed a woman's head onto the body of her chihuahua. It had Jack Nicholson. Gleen Close. Danny DeVito. The weapon that ultimately defeated the aliens was something uniquely human. Fuck, yeah, Slim Whitman. I love this movie to this day. A conscious parody beats an oblivious one any day.
If you ever favor Independence Day above Mars Attacks, I will slightly feel like you're a bad science fiction fan, no matter what else you like.
