How do you talk about a film that is basically flawless, I love Alien so much and in my opinion, it is Ridley Scotts best film as this film builds tension perfectly and the entire way through the film you can feel the fear of the characters. No matter how old this film is or how many times I have seen this film, I still find moments where I still feel really scared and I recommend watching the directors cut which actually does sharpen the story a bit.
Also, Sigourney Weaver (Ripley) is just so perfect in this film and she is absolutely iconic now because of these films. Funny thing is, the effects in this film hold up a little better than in Aliens (another classic) and I think that is because of how beautiful the sets are in this film and something modern film making is missing is that passion to actually build something beautiful which I feel like Ridley Scott needs to go back to this type of film making.
Another thing which people don't highlight enough is Bolaji Badejo (Alien), his performance as the Alien with his movements in that costume just makes this movie come together in my opinion, as the costume and his performance are just so menacing.
This is an essential film for anyone who loves films to watch.
