Alien (1979)
Directed by Ridley Scott
Starring Sigourney Weaver, Veronica Cartwright, Ian Holm, Harry Dean Stanton, and John Hurt
Look, there is not a thing I could say that has not already been said about Alien. It is a classic for a reason. Alien is essentially an old dark house movie with elements of a creature feature and a slasher flick. The character work is strong and memorable, giving us the greatest screen heroine in horror and sci-fi. Dan O’Bannon wrote a solid screenplay that is filled with memorable lines. The creature design by H.R. Geiger is out of this world. Ridley Scott is a fantastic director that can take all these elements and put them together without conflicting with each other. If you have not seen Alien, you should view it now. It will enrich your view of film and terrify you at the same time. Like all who see it, you will come to admire its purity.
