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.
