    Alien (1979)

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Aug 8, 2009

    Pros: Atmospheric, dark film.

    Cons: None to think of.

    I first saw Alien at the cinema in 1980, and it has always been a firm favourite. As time goes on, it gets harder to find the single disc edition amongst all the double discs, quardrilogies, AVPs etc. But Alien on its own does not need sequels.

    The only mystery to solve is what was the being found on board the abandoned spacecraft: an Alien, or alien?

    Classic Science Fiction

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Feb 10, 2007

    Pros: Great casting,visuals,make-up effects

    Cons: Nothing

    Okay, so it is safe to say that when cable television first came out- there was SelectTV. This was the first movie that aired that I wasn't allowed to view- well, needless to say, I eventually did and was hooked on the realm of dimension ever since. Ridley Scott mastered the craft to perfection and the artwork cannot be ignored; H.R. Giger's biomechanical creature has influenced modern film. Intense and worth more than three viewings.

    Second only to Aliens

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Aug 18, 2006

    Pros: Everything

    Cons: Nothing

    I love this movie I see it as the 1st half of the best combo cinema has ever created. This is the suspensful horror half, and Aliens is the action/horror half. In both films Sigourney Weaver is awesome, to say the very least.

    the ONE that started it all!

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Apr 18, 2002

    almost every movie monster since alien has
    tried to imatate H.R Gigers master piece.
    Alien seamed as though it was made to include
    everybody's child hood fears. A creature
    lurking in the darkness, unseen, and terrafying. An excellent cast and Ridley Scotts great directing make this a great horror film, with major help from Carlo Rambaldies close up face shots.

    In space, no one can hear you scream

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Feb 7, 2002

    The original space horror flick. Among the entire Alien saga, you only need this film and Aliens. Don't bother with Alien 3 or Alien: Resurrection.

    Alien

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Nov 5, 2001

    Frighteningly intense film. If suspense flips you out then this one will about give you cardiac arrest. Holds up over time, a true classic of the genre and totally boldly original, it set the standard that has rarely been passed since by its' imitators.

    Alien rules!

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  May 30, 2001

    If you like horror movie and aliens this is the movie for you. The movie is so creepy and very exciting. They could have lightened up on the language espesially the third one.

    True Horror/SF Classic

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  May 30, 2001

    The makers of this movie did a superior job of creating a "worst case" alien encounter. Alien is a beautiful piece of film making that will scare the he-- out of you.

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Feb 27, 2001

    superbly directed suspenseful and very well acted. many surprises, and open door for sequels, especially the derelict spaceship, which were not followed up. Instead sequels took other directions

    This is a magnificent film!

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Feb 1, 2000

    Ridley Scott manages to create one of the greatist films ever made. The alien is really well gone for it's genre, considering this movie was made in 1979. Weaver makes her character really believable, along with exceptional co-stars.
    The movie is really a dark film, and is really spooky and will scare the hell out of you, guaranteed.

    The Original..

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jan 11, 2000

    This one is the "Granddaddy" of the genre. This is the one that when watched in a dark room with surround sound, will make you pee your pants! Only one question besides "In space, no one can hear you scream" is, How does it feel be one step lower on the food chain?!
