Alien

Probably my favorite Sci-fi movie. I could rewatch this over and over and over, there’s so many subtleties to focus on that makes this insanely addictive. The design of The Nostromo is so complex that they were able to make the majority of the movie in it, it’s that detailed and well thought out. Ridley’s directing is some of the best of the 70’s, and some of the best horror and sci-fi will ever see. The sound design and use of strobes add depth to not only the tension, but also the characters. Ripley, for having so little dialog, is an amazingly fleshed out character, and Sigourney Weaver acts her heart out. The singlular flaw I have with the movie is that the two space shots of the escape pod are dated. Those are actually the only issues with the movie. Aside from that it’s perfection.
