I admired 'Alien' when I first saw it. A very dark tale, bridging SciFi and pure horror genres.
HR Giger's artwork, used for the original alien design, and backdrops was, and still is, seriously sick and twisted. None-the-less, it earned him an Oscar in 1980 !
James Cameron, made a legend out of the whole thing with 'Aliens' and did a superb job on it, in my opinion. I can recite most of the dialogue … I've watched it countless times ..
"Yeah … but its a dry heat"
"Game over man, game over !"
"Hudson may be right !"
.. (I could go on for a long while … ).
Beyond 'Aliens' however, it became pretty junky, sadly.
Cheers
