Definitely!
We have only explored a miniscule part of the universe. If we’re here, I think it’s very likely there there are living organisms on other planets, too.
We have a definition of what a living organism is here on Earth, but this might not apply to life forms on other planets. We’d have to be really careful so we don’t miss anything.

I would agree with Lena’s answer. If you look at the sheer numbers of stars within our own galaxy and the numbers of galaxies within the universe it is incredibly arrogant believe we are the only life forms around. This is a very unscientific way of answering this question but scientists have already found possible planets which are believed to be able to support life forms of one form or another.
p.s. I reckon it equally arrogant to think that any of them will have come here. -

Yes of course! The life we find may be different that what we see in the movies but there is a very good chance that we are not alone in the universe. In fact it is very possible that life may have been carried to earth from somewhere else on an asteroid.
