Alien

I have the quadrilogy box set and I haven't gone through all of it yet. I'm watching Alien right now. I haven't watched this movie in forever, but it is easily one of the best thrillers ever.

Appreciate.

yeah, call me crazy, but i liked Aliens about 10 times more. the first one was great, but the sequel was spectacular.

the story ended at three. there was no reason to go on. which is why i refused to watch it.

same reason i never watched terminator 3.

Is it bad that I'm still hoping for an Alien 5?

What I'm about to say is scifi/thriller heresy, but I need to get it off my chest: Alien is boring.

Is it a good movie? Definitely. Is the chest burster one of the top movie scenes of all time? Yes. Is the part where Dallas is in the vent shaft and he turns around and sees the Alien for 1/3 of a second and you nearly shit your pants awesome? Hell yeah.

However, I think it is too slow paced for many viewings, especially the director's cut. But once in a while, I definitely love watching it.

Aliens, however, put that on at any point int he movie and I'll watch the rest of it. Same with Predator.

Alien 3, Resurrection, Predator 2, and AvP can all lick my choad.

I'm surprised you'd put 3 below Resurrection. I think they're both pretty bad, but thought 3 was a little better. At least it had a decent video game.

Alien was good...but John Carpenter's The Thing was amazing...

Dude, why does Ripley wear such unbelievably tiny underwear in this movie (I didn't finish watching it the other day).

Okay, I'll admit. Aliens is much more entertaining and a lot quicker paced then the original, but you can't deny how awesome the original is for starting it all.

I'm watching Aliens right now and the fight at the end with the queen is amazing.

you're right, the game was tight. but i actually liked Ressurrection as opposed to everyone else.

I liked it too.

I mean, it has Winona Ryder in it, what's not to like?

if you're still using a vcr, chances are there's nothing in your wallet anyways.
