Americans have had a long obsession with the mysterious Bigfoot, also known as a Yeti, among other names. There are currently reality shows dedicated to searching for hard core proof of the creature’s existence. There’s even a show dedicated to Rob Lowe and his sons tracking down the beast (turns out a ton of celebrities think they’ve spotted Bigfoot). While we have yet to prove that Bigfoot really exists, in Hollywood he is alive and well. Here are our picks for the top ten best Bigfoot movies of all time.
Harry and the Hendersons (1987)
When the Henderson family comes across a Sasquatch, they are pleasantly surprised to learn that he is a really friendly guy. They become attached to Harry and the hi-jinx begin when they try to keep him a secret from their friends and family. This film is the inspiration for the popular television series that starred John Lithgow as the father who had his own issues with the extra large bipedal.
Bigfoot (2012)
This film was a movie that was made for television. Unlike “Harry and the Hendersons,” it took a different angle on the personality of Bigfoot.

The film was directed by Bruce Davison who also co-starred with Bonaduce, Williams and Sherilyn Fenn.
The Abominable Snowman (1957)
This adventure horror film was made in 1957 which shows you how far back our fascination with two legged monsters goes. This is a must see for all Bigfoot fans who also love a good dose of film nostalgia. Val Guest directs Forest Tucker, Peter Cushing, Maureen Connell and Richard Wattis in the story of a kind English botanist who teams up with a rough riding American scientist on an expedition into the Himilayas. The team goes in search of the Yeti but they’re not elated with their find.
