Alien (1979)

Rating: 10/10 (4 September 2018)

This film certainly deserves to be called a classic. Though the first forty minutes or so are very slow, the film is a special masterpiece and much more than a mere sci-fi flick. The Xenomorph is a truly remarkably designed creature and Ridley Scott raises the bar for what a truly suspenseful, terrifying film should be like. Sigourney Weaver is excellent as the protagonist Ellen Ripley.
