Alien
Alien is a 1979 horror/science fiction film directed by Ridley Scott and starring Tom Skerritt, Sigourney Weaver, Veronica Cartwright, Harry Dean Stanton, John Hurt, Ian Holm, and Yaphet Kotto. The score is by Jerry Goldsmith. I saw it in the theater when it was released, expecting a science fiction film, and was caught off guard by the horror. I've grown in my experience of the horror genre since then and can appreciate this movie now for the classic it is.

I've seen this movie a few times and it is a classic. Interesting how film ratings and thoughts change over time. Some get forgotten. Some get cult status. Some get better with time. Thanks for the reviews.
ReplyDeleteYes, some films get re-evaluated to their benefit through time. Others win awards and are then forgotten. I never thought I would think well of this film, but I've learned a lot over the years.
DeleteI actually have seen Alien, but never watched any sequels. Not my cup of tea. Monster movies I find pretty boring, to be honest. I know. Not the normal response--LOL! :)
ReplyDeleteDifferent strokes for different folks ;) We can't all like the same things. That'd be boring! :)
