I forgot how good and creepy it was.

It's absurdly good. The slowest burn ever.

one of the best ever. unfortunately, the sequels failed to deliver, for the most part.

Prometheus was great and the most recent one was pretty good too. The only one that is actually bad is the 4th one. Aliens is fun and Alien 3 is underrated.

It’s so great

i love the creepy horror , and the unknown.

the spaceship and engineers were done perfectly

This is seriously your second time seeing Alien since it's release and you saw it on TV? Almost 40 years later? All those years, never crossed your mind to watch it again until it just pops up on TV one random day - 40 years later?

Nope I never did. It's not a movie that I see played over and over like," Dancing with Wolves" or " Shashank Redemption."
Plus, it was so long ago, I actually forgot the storyline, and it seemed like watching it for the first time.
Well, except for the scene where the alien pops out of the guys stomach.

As good as "Aliens" is, I still prefer "Alien." It's just a great, great movie. The script and acting is superb. The first time I saw it, I was 15 and it scared the living daylights out of me.

I think my favorite scene of the entire movie is:

Ash explains his orders

Check out the trailer for "Alien" if you havent already. Its scary af too. Just a well done motion picture

And I kept wanting them to turn on the lights.

"Just flip that little switch over there...and you can see!"

Someone in these movies sure likes to flip that switch up and down very fast at times. Uncredited, so identity remains a complete mystery.
