Ridley Scott's Alien is a true classic

Rating: 10/10 (16 August 2006)

Of all the Scifi's I own this is one of my favorites. I remember when this trailer came out (* oddly I was a bit young I admit *) However I credit this movie with something unique . The Trailer was brilliant , but showed you nothing . All I remember seeing was the word Alien on a green egg shape . No Poiler there ...
This movie is one of those that sucks you into the picture immediately and refuses to let you go. Ridley has created what is arguably the strongest female character in a sci-fi film. At the same time not giving into the cliché of bombshell I think this film and the later released Aliens are Sigorney Weaver's best performances.
