Excellent. I have the DVD around somewhere I m sure, but I havent gotten around to watching it yet. Seems like its earned its way into my list of must-sees this weekend.
Thanks, alky and Z.
Catching up on the all-timers #2...
Alien. 09/10
I love this movie! The eye for details, the desolateness and darkly mysterious planet, and the characters...each of em unique in their attitudes and mentality. Ridley Scott is one of the finest in this genre.
The only unanswered question was the spaceship. We see it in Aliens too (on the uncut DVD version anyway). Where had it come from? Guess the makers wanted to answer it in a sequel/prequel which never got made, or maybe that was the idea behind the Cameron-Scott team-up for Alien 5, which was scrapped by Fox.
