Favourite Alien Movie?

[PAS Spinelli]

That being the reason I want the pre test screening pre reshoots cut, I always found it really bizarre in the past when I heard David Fincher submitted it without Chestburster sequence; then through Alien Archive we also found out the notorious Egg at the beginning also got added after the fact. 

You put that together, and that suggests to me, a cut where we only see the evidence of the presence of the Alien in aftermath up until either the candles sequence with Golic or that iconic shot.

a reimagining of the movie that has the crew finding the dog/cow dead and with a hole at the chest would be so cool tho, I def think Alien 3 could use a remake of sorts

I don't want one, I don't think it needs it, what exists I like. It just needed some fine tuning.

Just a quick question that doesn't need a new thread : was Ripley on Earth when she got visited by Burke and Gorman in her flat ? She was on getaway station before that, and that was in Earth's orbit so, it is likely ?

Did a rewatch of the Quadrilogy, and Alien remains my favorite. I mentioned elsewhere that Alien has a spiritual aspect of horror that the sequels IMHO do not. The Alien feels more like a destroyer demi-god, designed to wipe out mankind in the most terrifying ways; turning all aspects of eros into death: kiss of death, intercourse of the mouth leading to a birth that leads to death. The Sequels tend to opt for horror and gore, and or action; but Alien feels like it penetrates the soul; the dark temple of eggs in The Derelict feels familiar and foreboding (as if we've been there or are going to be, or something in between), the Xenomorph beckons and disgusts; like man it is beautiful and violent; you in one way feel like Golic in Alien3 saying "magnificent!," and on the other hand like Ripley in Aliens, "I say we nuke the site from orbit, its the only way to be sure."

Got carried away...

The First one, Alien.

In words of Tennessee in Covenant, "a man of taste."

Sometimes people are just so incorrect, you need to wait an entire page for that take to be buried before it is worth replying to again, thankfully not the case in this subforum just now talking theories about what happened to a certain Conestoga class Starship... no sir...

Last I heard, it was sighted in the Gamma Leporis System.

The algorithm catering to confirmation bias, but a good video, all the same definitely my favourite.

My last rewatch of Alien3 really elevated it in my estimation. It is an incredible film. The Alien: Resurrection rewatch on the other hand.. the Xenomorph roaring underwater really caught my attention, it really is The Jaws The Revenge of the franchise. XD

The worst thing about Resurrection is that it is a truly boring film despite having distinctive characters and wonderful cinematography.
