Friday the 13th pick 2 of 13: Alien (1979)

Lost in the hype of Prometheus coming out this summer is the film that started that franchise, Alien.  It is a tense horror thriller, with sci-fi elements.  Great acting, great scenes and sets, great direction and great music all melded into this classic.

Trivia:
- the script called for sex scene with Ripley and Dallas that was never shot
- the "directors cut" is a misnomer. Scott's vision of the film was the theatrical cut. Someone found 100 boxes of footage in a London vault in 2003, so there was a decision made to add more footage to the original.
