Several members from different universities in the UK have launched an international study today about people’s memories of Ridley Scott’s Alien. What is it that different people most remember and value about this film? Answering this lingering question is the main objective behind the “Remembering Alien” project.
“We are asking people to go to www.remembering-alien.org to take part in a brief questionnaire, designed to let people share with us their recollections of a fantastic piece of film history. We’re interested in hearing from anyone who has ever seen the film – whether or not they enjoyed it – including those who would have seen the film during its release into theatres” Said Thomas Phillips representative of the study.
Make sure to visit their official website here if you are interested in helping with the study. You can also follow them on Twitter to keep up to date with the project.
You can just apply your thoughts of the experience then!

You just did think about it with this post, and this is basically what they ask you when you continue on in the survey and ask you to write about it.
Where were your folks, at that point?
One of the things that makes alien important to me is that it was the first movie I really thought about. As in what was happening. A eureka moment when you realized it was pretty damn disturbing to think about.
