First seen in 1979 , I was 15 Mum dropped me off. Seen once every five years since.
Seems to get better and better as time goes on, maybe because as I mature, I appreciate the fine acting details or is it that there are fewer and fewer films to compare Alien to. Alien is a masterpiece in so many areas (in no order); Editing, photography, acting, direction, art, music, sound, script. In fact Alien ought to be mandatory viewing for every film director whether budding or currently or even as a refresher for well seasoned film makers.
It's so clear Ridley was able to make the film he wanted to make without interference from non creative parties.
