Topic: According to MSN, Alien is not one of the scariest films of all time

The reason it was scarey then is there was nothing else like it. it lead the cinema into the alien type horror that are popping up everywhere.
I love the movies but they aren't as scarey after watching em hundreds of times :/ I wish I could go back to the first time I saw it....just to get the full experience.

Alien was scary in '79. In 2011, not so much.

Unfortunely, kinda true.

Honestly, when I was a 3 I watched Alien for the first time, I thought it was boring. Pizza the Hutt was downright terrifying by comparison.

I don't know, even today I still find Alien to be kind of scary. Especially when Ripley finds the remains of Parker and Lambert. that sends chills down my spine every time.

Of course I think it also has to do with a generational thing as well, like when Bram Stoker's Dracula came out on VHS, my dad thought it was scary, but me? I just gained a deep appreciation for big boobs.

The whole Alien is not as scary as it used to be argument is kinda irrelevant because the majority of these films are old and not the slightest bit scary (not to say older movies can't be scary). But I have seen most of these and only a few (IMO) are scarier than Alien, sure I haven't seen all of them but to say that everyone of these 60 films is scarier than Alien is a little ridiculous.
