The yard is nothing but a fence, the sun just hurts my eyes...
Alien is up there in my top 5 films of all time.. I watch it probably twice a year to remind myself how awesome it is.
Aliens is brilliant but for many other reasons.. it has the lines I quote most often when I'm out and about - 'Yeah but it's a dry heat' etc etc etc..
I'll ignore the others until;
Prometheus - oh the visuals.. shame it's shit. Still watch it though cause it looks so amazing. Was probably my favorite looking film until I saw Dune 2 last weekend..
I'll ignore the next one
As mentioned.. go and play Alien Isolation (in the dark with the sound up) and I can pretty much guarantee you will literally shit yourself.. awesome!
Si
I agree completely about Plan 9 - it's hilarious.
After that things started to go downhill in the search for more money.
The thing is, the later films could have been so much better. Alien Resurrection was actually quite good until the queen alien gave birth to that stupid half alien, half human hybrid thing, it just took a completely wrong turn and suffered badly for it.
The other thing that I cannot get my head round is why did the origin of the Xenomorph and the engineers need explaining in the first place?
Yes, there were a lot of questions posed by Alien, but that was half the beauty of it, that there was a whole untold backstory and leaving the viewer to make up their own mind was a brilliant way of engaging the audience.
I didn't mind Prometheus so much as a film in its own right but in attempting to answer the questions posed in Alien it once again took a wrong turn and ended up in the same obscure landscape as Resurrection.
I hope one day that somebody writes a much better story to replace Prometheus.
Covenant was just so disappointing.
I will watch the new one, hopefully it'll be ok. But, it can never live up to the first two simply because everyone has seen the Xenomorph more times than Kate Winslet with her baps out.
There is no 'H' in Aych, you know that don't you? ~ Wife
Turns out there is an H in Haych! ~ Sporky
Bit of trading feedback here.
Doesn't half cause a lot of confusion at the bakers she runs.
If you say space-set-sci-fi-horror, it's definitely Alien.
Though I have a soft spot for Event Horizon.

After discussing the movie with my partner last night, it transpired that she's only ever seen Alien and Alien 3. Wonderful news, gives me a perfect excuse to watch Aliens for the 500th time, and possibly the original and Prometheus again just for good measure!
And now guess what? Turns out she's never seen John Carpenter's The Thing either! Tremendous stuff, that's our movie nights sorted for the next few weeks!!
