OT: Best Alien Movie

Predator, the hunters become the hunted. Alien, Day the Earth Stood Still, were great too
 
Can we include Dune as an alien movie? It is sci fi about alien creatures that provide the spice.

Dune is a total masterpiece.
 
Loved Mars attack, Aliens was solid too

Kurt Russel in the Thing was great.

I always thought Independence Day was a very well done alien movie. Another alien movie that I like is Signs with Mel Gibson and Joaquin Phoenix. That movie is very unique and goes about it in a different way.

Prometheus without a doubt. Makes you think.

I forgot about Prometheus. That is a good one. The alien franchise has been well represented in this thread. Deservingly so.

3. Signs

Close encounter gets an honorable mention. Have not seen Aliens but I plan to.

Alien is not just the greatest sci-fi film ever made, it is one of the best films ever made period. One rating ranks it #33 all time. It's Ridley Scott's masterpiece and it launched his directing career as well as Sigurney Weaver's. Veronica Cartright, Ian Holm, John Hurt, Tom Skerrit, Yaphet Kotto and Harry Dean Stanton all give stunning performances. It's a crime that Veronica Cartright was not even nominated for an supporting actress Oscar, though she did win best supporting actress from other award venues. Jerry Goldsmith's musical score was stunning. Twentieth Century Fox also loved it, they bankrolled it on a $10 million budget, and it made $200 million in box office receipts. That's not including profits from about ten sequels and the media franchise it created.

Paxton steals that movie, he's terrific in it.

He was a really entertaining actor and from all accounts a great guy, he left us way too soon. Watched Weird Science last night, he steals all his scenes in that too.

As a kid in the 60s back when we were still doing nuclear bomb drills in school, I recall the most terrifying movie to me was the original "Them". I mean, let's say you survive a nuclear attack. Now you've got to deal with 12 ft long man-eating ants...

Great cast, hilarious sci fi movie with Punk soundtrack.

Alien vs Preditor in the ice cold waters.

If we are going kind of Alien give some love to Riddick and Underworld

Now if we are talking total entertainment value, and this is the men’s board, Nothing beats Megan Fox running in a halter top in transformers.

One of the most disappointing experiences I've ever had coming out of a movie. Spielberg, Cruise and a beloved sci fi property? I thought it was going to be an all time great cinematic experience. Not so much.
