In a sudden twist of events, Cervantes has requested that this week we might discuss ALIEN instead of American Ninja. I know some of you were looking forward to rating American Ninja and this may come as a disappointment to you. Please direct all complaints to Balder. This week: ALIEN Chosen by: Cervantes, twister of events. Released: 1979 Starring: Sigourney Weaver Director: Ridley Scott Writer: Dan O'Bannon, Ronald Shusett This poll is for the first film. If you want to discuss the sequel, send me a PM. |

The best movie of the series and damn if it isn't one of the best movies of all time. Just saw it in the cinema the other day again as a promotion for Alien Covenant, which in contrast look like a piece of shit.

No American Ninja?   Aliens is better. Alien is just a monster movie in space. |

scipioafricanus that's a horrible simplification of it. It's like saying Aliens is just an action movie with monsters.

Alien is just a monster movie in space. That's what I like about it! |

I wonder how the reactions in the cinemas were when the chest-burster popped out. That scene holds up so well today. The same thing looks so much worse in Alien Covenant where it's all CGI of course.

scipioafricanus that's a horrible simplification of it. It's like saying Aliens is justal an action movie with monsters. It is a war movie with monsters, actually. James Cameron says it was his Vietnam movie. |

Didn't feel like Vietnam in any way. You were there? Go watch the best Vietnam war films, then you will feel how Vietnam is. Watch Full Metal Jacket and Apocalypse Now. |

I liked it, but i didn't enjoy all those panty shots of ridley at the end of the movie, quite disgusting, moreso than the alien itself xD
