For me...
Alien ( 1979) is the top...
When Aliens came out, I liked it..till I saw the first aliens... how simple they where killed..The whole magic and mystery was gone...and That Alien Queen thing..turned the Alien in insect like creatures..so pitty...
I don't even mention the other movies what followed...
Prometheus: I hate to see that human head..this head only distroying the complete mystery of the Alien and SJ universe for me...
I will go watch the movie when it comes out... And I really really hope, that the giant head was just a promotion stunt, to trick us in the wrong direction of how this movie will be ..

Ok so you don't like how Prometheus is implying that SJ's created humans because it is not backed by real world science? This is a movie, not a documentary or educational programming lol. I think science fictions movies are allowed to ignore reality, especially a movie like this.
I read his post and i don't see how you got the "because its not backed by world science". He was saying the space jockey creating us and the xeno destroys the mystery for him. Can you point to me where he implyed that he didn't like it due to it not being backed by real world science?
I'm not too keen on the idea of what the sculpture MIGHT mean either, all I know is in Prometheus (the myth) god created man in his own image, which POSSIBLY points to the Space Jockey being humanoid at least, we'll just have to see how it plays out. It's worth mentioning though, many scientific quarters in the real world believe there's a fair chance we originated from somewhere else, that we're a product of some advanced form of humanity somewhere out there.
You can still see the wires on the Drop Ship from Aliens in various shots, does it spoil the film... of course not!!
1) No one suggested the wires in Blade Runner spoiled the film and 2) you have to look for the dropship wires - they're not in your face like the spinner.
As I understood it you were talking about how the effect stood out, and I my point was "who cares!" I guess it did bother Riddles because he went in and scrubbed them out on Blade Runner, yet I hardly noticed anyway. And even though wires are even MORE visible in the Blu-Ray version of Aliens Cameron left them in, because it didn't matter...that's all I'm saying!
