Great movie by Ridley Scott. Watching it again on BBC. But the only problem is he edited out the most important part of the movie. If you haven't seen the director's cut, watch it. It brings the story together unlike the theatrical version.

Care to give us the deets?

I’ve seen the TC enough times already. Not going to watch the whole thing again.

SPOILERS










I hope you aren't talking about the part where Ripley finds Dallas after he goes missing. I'm actually glad that was cut.

Towards the end of the movie - after Ridley tries to turn off the self destruct and she's heading back to the shuttle, she enters a part of the ship and finds all of the crew alive and "cocooned" and she wants to save them and Dallas tells her to get the frick out of there.

Its just one part of the movie he shouldn't have left out. Same with Aliens - Cameron left out some really good parts but that movie was great even as the theatrical. If Cameron would have not edited ALiens it would have been 3 hours long.

I’m with lordguill, it’s better without that scene.

couldn’t disagree more
when I saw that scene it seemed completely out of place and added nothing to the final act.
alien is perfect as is

Yeah. It totally ruins the flow of the sequence.

The only problem with Alien is that Sigourney Weaver has zero butt.

It is a masterful science fiction/horror movie. The setting, the acting, the creature... all top of the line.

Then you get to Sigourney Weaver wearing panties three sizes too small for her and she doesn't have the booty to pull it off.

No matter how many times I've seen that movie - the dead spider falling from the ceiling still scares the hell out of me.

Awesome movie

That's what I thought of when Tess told her to get her "bony arse" out of her sight in "Working Girl." I was like mentally, "Thank you! She does have a bony arse. I remember."

Odd that originally there wasn't a queen and the aliens turned people into eggs, then hatched a face hugger.

Cutting it is better for the complete story.
