Is it that good? Yeah it is.
I remember the first time I watched it on TV back in the nineties. I dropped in on the movie the minute the Aliens make their first attack on the marines. Wow. Never did a movie had such an impact on me. Since that day I have probably seen it 30 times and bought it on every format (you're welcome FOX) I love the fact that a Canadian filmmaker makes a film which is basically a protest to warfare and the comparison to mainly the Vietnam war. The kind of warfare that we still can relate to these days (sadly).
But the film also approaches themes like "facing your fears" (Ripley) and "corporate bastards" (Burke).
The other day someone asked me: "What makes a movie a classic?".
I answered: "It should stand the test of time, it has to be innovative in it's filming and in it's storytelling and to me personally I think it is Aliens!".
