Cracked me up the first time I watched the extended edition.
I'm on Thedus, going to Acheron.
You're right, I miss that part, my apologies!
Nice challenge here! I think my favorite scene is when Ripley is stuck with newt at the top of the Atmospheric Processor, a lift open and reveals with very dramatic (but so well done) lightning the queen that took the lift to get to them. Ripley tells Newt to not look at it while the Queen comes to get them and in an instant Bishop with a dropship comes to save them. Epic, tense, very well done, It made my heart stop for a whole minute!
Cya!
My favourite scene is when Ripley is overwhelmed and surrounded by all the eggs and all is silent before she goes berserk. It made you realise how much of a dire situation she was in and however she could possible overcome it.
Just like everyone else this is a tough question to answer. I would have to say that my favourite scene is when the alien rises up out of the water behind Newt to snatch her away to the hive. So creepy and stayed with me since I first saw it.
Whew, favourite scene... that's pretty tough to decide, considering all the iconic scenes in Aliens. I could go with the scene I adored even before I saw the whole movie, being the ultimate badass powered armour vs. Queen Bitch fight, which still gives me chills to this day.
But upon subsequent viewings, I'd have to tag the first ambush when the marines enter the hive, the tension that has been building since first landing on LV-426 exploding all at once, horror piled atop horror, leaving the audience breathless almost nonstop for the rest of the film.
I especially love the scene in Aliens where Newt is in the sewers, Hicks is trying to cut through the floor panels to get to her and Ripley is watching the tracker. The way it all builds up the Xenomorph's reveal is awesome, it's a great touch on the horror element from Alien but done in a totally different way.
A favourite line from Aliens is just after the drop-ship crashes and Burke suggests "Maybe we can build a fire, sing a couple of songs, huh?". It shows just how weak his character is yet he tries to act so tough, it really makes you question if what he does later on in the film is actually how he wanted things to transpire. However, I think it's generally the line after Burke's that is more often remembered!
Keep your toys; ain't no UK person going to win it now.
Read that Mr. Clemens; WOMAN!
Favorite scene is kinda hard to nail down but what always makes me smile is where they're climbing put of cryo pods and Hudson is complaining about the floor being cold. Apone makes a quip about fetching him some slippers. XD
