So, the movie is from the 2000s (+/-) and looks like its made in the 60s. I remember it opening with a scene of a very manly man, typical stereotype for that era, looking through a telescope at night. His submissive wife can’t do any other than listening to his elaborate words and watch him smoke his pipe or something like that. She is doing the dishes or similar, he’s just busy being a man in the garden, impressing his wife with his elaborate words.
As they observe a space craft (or comet) going down the story starts to unfold and I can’t remember much more. Hope you nice people can help me find that film. Have a good one, cheers
“It Came from Outer Space” (1953)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0045920/
Detailed plot on Wikipedia:

From Wikipedia:
“It Came from Outer Space tells the story of an astronomer and his fiancée who are stargazing in the desert when a large fiery object crashes to Earth. At the crash site, he discovers a round alien spaceship just before it is completely buried by an overhead landslide.”
I think it may be “The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra” (2001)

I’m certain this is it. It’s a black and white parody of 50’s/60’s scifi with a stereotypically manly scientist with a stereotypically helpless wife who look for a meteorite that aliens are also keen to get. It’s low-budget and has a lot of b-movie tropes crammed into it. Here’s the Wikipedia:

Sounds like it could be Mars Attacks

Hi everyone,
thanks for your efforts so far.
I took a look at your suggestions and none of it is the one I am looking for. Thanks anyway, you did a great job. Special thanks for introducing me to “The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra”, it looks fantastic yet it is not the one I am looking for.
If I remember correctly the movie is in colour. The colour palette is tweaked to look like one of those early colour movies. The altogether look was old fashioned. BUT: it it definitely not a movie from the 40s – 90s!! It’s a retro SciFi movie. A satire, homage, whatever you wanna call it and I am still very certain it was made in the 2000s.
Mars Attacks is going in the right direction, though I’m a 100% sure it is not Mars Attacks.
Hope this helps and I’m looking forward for further suggestions.
[SOLVED]
I can’t believe it but I found it. Thanks to your suggestions I gave it another try myself, found a surprisingly well equipped trrnt Site with covers, good sort options and all that. And there it was:
Alien Trespass 2009
Legal copy is ordered and I’m happy happy happy.
Cheers to everyone, have a good 2019
Glad you found it and thanks for letting us know!
