Alien

Alien has bounced in and out of my four favorite films of all time and I love it more after every rewatch. This time around I noticed how beautiful nearly every single shot is, from the production design (there is so much detail in every nook and cranny of the Nostromo), to the lighting, and even the character designs (every one of them feels unique). Some people complain that it feels slow but to me it feels like every scene continues to build not only atmosphere and tension but moves the narrative forward. There's very little fat to trim. 5/5 chest-bursters
