Alien: "Oh boy it's a like a cup of noodles!"

From its point of view, the movie is 'Die-Hard'.

@@MrUndersolo :)) i love this

Technically speaking, for the Alien's perspective - this film is Die Hard.

Except Hans Gruber doesn’t blast John McLain into deep space and then go for a nap.

For me, more like cackling like a madman at the terror that awaits a new, unsuspecting victim 😈

And I said somewhere else now that she’s watched this, she must complete the trifecta and watch Predator and John Carpenter’s The Thing. For the latter she may want to bring a friend to watch with and she’d still have nightmares. But the reaction would be priceless.

@@puckarine Honestly would love for her to watch it alone, in the dark. Feel like that would give you the most genuine reaction. The Thing is amazing. Have you seen the remake as well? The Evil Dead would be a good movie to watch as well. So creepy, yet corny all at once.

@@c.t.1893 you mean the one in 2011? I haven’t seen it, but I hear it was a prequel rather than a remake, so it’s not off the table. But given what she said here, if we want her to give a straight up horror movie a chance, she may have to do it on her terms. Maybe she has another jumpy friend who also hasn’t seen it. Also maybe let her get in a few happy ones first, so she doesn’t get desensitized too soon.

Well ... at one point the alien does comedic jazz hands. That was kind of fun...

Well not EVERY movie, the lead character can do some stupid things too.

@@xanthiusdrake2775 No but he said in the franchise. Ripley was logical even before she knew about the alien.

Ikr 😆 she clearly had no clue what she was getting into, a feeling many people have when watching this the first time. Easily Ridley Scott's greatest masterpiece

No, Cassie, it's much better if you're all alone, use headphones and turn out all of the lights...😈☠🤡

“I hope it’s not too scary” THE TAGLINE OF THE MOVIE IS LITERALLY “In space no one can hear you SCREAM”!! She deserved every spook on that one XD

Is the scary part over???? Repear throughout the movie. The cat represents pure evil. 1) Runs away, causing a crew member to look for it. Death ensues. Cat crouches under something and watches. Close up on those pitiless cat like eyes. 2) Ripley tries to escape in the pod and blow up 5he ship with the Alien left behind, but cat runs away and Ripley is forced to look for it, giving time for the Alien to get to the escape pod and hide. Hilarity ensues. 3) cat escapes hibernation chamber, resets navigation controls, therefore escape pod takes years to return, Ripley's daughter dies of old age. 4) Before going back to hibernation, cat takes a large dump in Ripley's chamber, causing Ripley unending nightmares on the way home. I will admit reasons 3 an 4 are speculative in nature, but as logical as this movie is.

"In the vacuum of space no one can hear you vacuum."

If only they had followed the Containment Protocol

What do you mean by the whole series? There is only 2 movies.

@@DarkBath Four in the original series plus two in the prequel series.

No, actually, they should have listened to Lambert!

They weren’t going to listen to Ripley. The bosses had decided that they wanted to bring home an Alien.

LMAO...so true hahahaha

I can not WAIT for her to watch *HEREDITARY!!!*

You coment made my day hahahaha

😂

@@Defensive_Wounds never again.

And the "stupid robot" ASH was not stupid. He was following orders to bring the Alien back to corporate for analysis (and profit) even if the Alien kills the entire human crew.

Let’s be honest: this was Dan O’Bannon’s baby. Same guy who wrote and directed The Return of the Living Dead(1985), and wrote Total Recall (1990). Those are two gems you could watch with your sister if you haven’t reacted to them yet.

and what was it like to watch it?:D

@@hughjorg4008 - I would love to have seen this in the theater, what were the reactions like in your screening?

In space no one can hear you scream (bec the vacuum) but everybody can hear the loudness of the explosion and the jet...

I was like, those are not horror movies, she’s in for a shock

Hahaha! This comment made me LOL

Facehugger: Let me hug your face.

yeah, when she listed those as "scary" i was like... oh yeah.. this is going to be fun to watch.

😂😂😂

Signs is like a Disney movie in comparison.

My exact thought lol!

The one with the Aliens terrified of wood. SIGNS?!

ROFLMAO 😂🤣

To be fair, the scene in Signs where they're hiding in the basement is pretty damn creepy. I think that's the only time I had difficulty sleeping after seeing a movie. (Alien doesn't count; I was having nightmares about it years before I was old enough to see it.)

Wow cool man. Tell your uncle thank you for one of my favorite films of all time.

Oh wow your uncle KILLED IT on this movie, the special effects are out of this world good. I hadn't seen the movie in a long time and seeing it during this reaction really had me gasping in shock in some places because of how REAL everything looked. The face-hugger to me is still probably THE greatest practical effect of all time. It looks like a true organic creature.

Jon please thank your uncle for having a huge part in showing me a movie that I would never forget. I watched it at the Cinema and from the first minute of the opening credits to the final fade out I was totally immersed. The special effects along with the cinematography and direction made this completely unbelievable movie very very real. Tell him that if we ever meet I owe him a beer.

That is so cool!! I saw this when it first came out, ground breaking sci fi

More information please.

Perfect… organism.

An interesting fact about Lambert’s death and the nature of what took place, the subject of where the aliens tail was going has always been one people wondered about. Turns out if you watch the second movie and view closely at Lambert’s file, you’ll discover she was transgender. The alien you can learn from various media has no eyes and relies on scent and sound fro most of its sensory skills when killing. People have wondered why the alien violated Lambert the way it did and some fans theorize that it sensed Lambert was different and the mutilation of her genital area may confirm the alien was interested in her anatomy and why she was unique compared to its other victims. This is just a fan theory but terrifying to think of.

@@shanelogan630 Oh BULLSH**! Ridley Scott stated that both Ripley and Lambert were both originally cast as males, but decided to make them both females later on in the casting. Lambert was a female, period. Do I need to explain what a female is to you? Trans-whatever was not a thing till five minutes ago. It wasn't even a word in 1979. What James Cameron wrote in her file in 1986 was just to make the character interesting. They were goofing around. Ridley Scott himself has stated on camera that Lambert was sexually violated because she was a female. He raised the question of whether aliens have sexual urges. He said those exact words. The alien had grown inside a male.

@@Neorott Jesus calm down, they didn't kill your first born, they explained a fan theory.

И вышел он в год моего рождения! :)) До сих пор величайший научно-фантастический фильм с оттенком великолепного Соляриса Станислава Лема.

Anything to do with her being a dog person, as we see when she reacts to The Thing?

True, always save the dog, screw the cat, the cat will get you killed. 80 years of American cinema right there.

that is not the cat, it seems.

@@Hiraghm Right. He was in charge of pest control.

My sister's reaction when she watched this movie: "Why do you have a cat in space???" Then of course "Why are you going back for the cat!!!!"

@@Ammeeeeeeer Mice exist on massive derelicts like that mining ship. Jonesy is a mouser. That cat earns his keep.

That story is awesome

Sir was that in the UK?

@@southlondon86 No, that was in the US.

I totally believe you!

Completely agree! Nowadays, if you can do CGI, no studio wants to spend the bucks on models or costumes. But it makes the film timeless.

There had been some really great horror films before, but this just took things to a whole new level. HR Geiger's designs were spooky as hell and truly alien feeling. Masterful use of long slow shots. Just a masterclass in horror.

@@mycroft16 - I bought Starlog and Fantastic Films magazines that previewed ALIEN coming out that summer. We went on the opening weekend and I bought a lobby magazine promo for the film before we went in. I still have it!

I was 11 when it came out, and the movie poster alone, with the tagline 'In space no one can hear you scream' terrified me lol

I was 12 and had never seen an R-rated movie. I begged my Dad to take me and a friend. When that thing jumped out of the egg and grabbed his face, we practically landed in the row behind us. I’ve never heard my Dad laugh so hard in my life.

@@yr2078 - I can totally relate. The film was SO realistic for 1979. It all seemed so real and tense that people were leaving the theater to escape.

Hell the whole reason he made Prometheus and Alien Covenant was that he was pissed off at Alien3 and AVP ruining his legacy

@@thedeepfriar745 I know that opinions vary on that, but personally I think he ruined his own legacy just as much. Admittedly, I haven't seen Covenant, but that's because I found Prometheus to be such an awful movie I had no desire to watch the next one.

@@thedeepfriar745 if you look at Alien Covenant and Prometheus it's pretty clear that Alien is a good movie against Ridley's effort. He personally removed everything that was good in Aliens , when making both Prometheus and Covenant.

These movies are very well made. Cgi is not everything...

@@thedeepfriar745 Prometheus and Covenant suck and I'm a DIE HARD Alien fan. I love Alien and Aliens and I actually can appreciate Alien 3 but I HATE the other ones.

And then they turned it into an angry ant in later movies.

Even if she is uncomfortable she gets the foreshadowing

lol, I had nearly the same response. Mine was "You dont have to worry about them now. That's for the next movie."

Yeah nah. Don't worry about those, they aren't important.

It is great but I'm sure body horror is not her thing.

She needs to watch Aliens 2 then, her worst nightmare comes true.

How did you get in? it was rated R, I was 17 when it came out and got grounded for going to see it , my best friend lied about being 18 in order to see it

@@eolson1964 We'd discovered that one of the exit doors could be opened easily with a pocket knife, 😈 , slipped in right after the previous showing ended, walked in like we were supposed to be there, went up front for some snacks and went to find our seats! We got a few looks but no one cared so we pulled it off ( once again! ) Man I miss the 70s, fun time to be a kid. We pulled that off successfully quite a few times, we snuck into Animal House, Eyes of Laura Mars, The Hills Have Eyes, Rocky Horror Picture Show and others I can't remember! We eventually got busted lol!

@@goldenagenut That was the way we grew up. I feel sorry for kids today.

@@ianmarsden1130 I know right? We got away with so much hell back then! 😁 These poor kids...😔

@@goldenagenut most 12 year olds with internet access have seen far worse than aliens and got away with it tho.

Not entirely true. Tom Skerritt insisted on seeing the rigging before the scene was shot.

Veronica Cartwright even fainted during the scene.

She should have watched Spaceballs.

**popcorn chewing intensifies**

@@InvertedWIng amazing idea

LMAO mate!

This is how we get to watch Cassie gain weight over the course of the franchise.

This was almost like watching torture and I’m not sure how I feel about that. It’s voluntary, though, so I guess it’s all right.

Has seen some of his stuff and wow, I was surprise how mild the Xenomorph was.

@@NetAndyCz The facehugger is a penis and testicles with spider legs.

The MoPOP museum in Seattle has the original costume -and it was an honor to get to see that thing up close. It was extraordinary.

The guy probably was from another planet himself

Read up on some of the titles of his work.

This implies that the company already knew about the alien prior to getting the warning signal and purposely sent the crew, which isn't the case and has never been established as such.

@@jonathanw1019 It is the case. Didn't you see the readout on the computer about obtaining the specimen and saying that the crew is expendable?

@@caribbeanman3379 Ash being an android has nothing to do with the alien. They are returning from their work voyage when they encounter the signal. When they do encounter the signal the crew is considered expendable. To state that Ash is an android so that he doesn't get infected would imply that the knew how the Alien species infected people. This is clearly not the case.

@@gymratt17 Why was Ash's being an android not divulged to the rest of the crew?

This is probably the dumbest theory about the movie I've seen.

And only thing you can do after this is to watch AlienS.

Could you imagine her watching the thing

@@jukopliut Aliens is more of a action movie, and most of the time way less scary

@@Pinkielover She needs to stick to the original with James Arness as the 'carrot' monster...

@@nobodx It has its moments

I can no longer hear the phrase 'gold standard' without Tom Cruise's voice in my head.

@@Hiraghm And Jaws was basically the proof of concept for not showing the monster much in movies that followed it like in this. A happy accident due to technical issues with the mechanical shark.

As they say: "Less is more."

I agree :) The sequels are fine too, but they have a completely different feel, they are more action /adventure.

I agree, it is the best of the bunch, although Aliens is a worthy successor.

I can remember seeing Tom Skerritt in several episodes of "Combat!"

The acting in the original Alien was certainly the best. It was brilliant in my opinion.

Alien is the better film but at the same time Aliens is great as the first of the space marine type film. They are totally different in look and feel but do work well together and are both classics

Both are master classes in their genre, horror/suspense and action.

Like the terminator and t2 both totally different one a horror and one an action film but both equally brilliant in their own right.

Alien is vastly superior...still enjoy Alien's however

@@r.g.o3879 The acting in Alien is superior, the best out of all the Alien franchise, by a mile.

I don’t really like the term jump scares when applied to these films, because typically what constitutes something frightening you suddenly in these films is actually scary. There’s only a few fake outs, like with the cat.

@@nickmanzo8459 There's at least 3 good ones in the film, (Dallas knocking over the trays, and 2 involving the cat) but, yes, I totally agree, the amount of tension generated as the film grinds towards its climax is off the dial even for a modern film, let alone one that's 40-odd years old...

@@viclagina347 Something tells me, it's going to be Disney musicals for a while.... 😉

The thing would be too much for her

The Shining 1980 rules them all. It's total mind*uck of a movie. It could not get better then an evil sinister presence hidden between the walls of the Overlook hotel which slowly corrupts Jack Torrance.

And the beauty, for me, is the cast of excellent actors playing blue collar workers. Their skills lend immeasurable authenticity to this movie magic!

In signs, the aliens can't even open a wooden door.

Signs is a joke compared to Aliens

@@JET1970 all "horror" movies are, compared to ALIEN. the thing with others is that there's always a motive of some sort, which includes a thrill. with ALIEN there is no motive. it might not even be instinct

I dont really understand what you are saying because the MPAF rated films for audiences in the USA and the BBFC for audiences in the UK from as early as 1910 so audience ratings most certainly existed when this movie was released. In the UK in 1979 in cinemas there was U (Universal), A (basically not recommended for people under 14), AA (14 Up only), and X (18 and over). Aliens was X rated in the UK. I remember this because I had a paper round and carried a radio with me and was gutted when I heard that I would not be able to see this movie in the cinema, I was 14 in 1979.

Me over here who had a rager the whole time watching it at the age of six. I'm not a weirdo, I swear.

@@thewinner7382 If HR Giger's work doesn't traumatize you, you haven't grasped it.

In terms of horror movies ... Aliens is not one. That is a much more actiony film. Alien ... this one ... is the only true horror film in the franchise. The rest is imo weak imitations solely created to attempt making money of it.

@@muhest Your right. The Alien is a truckers in space haunted house horror movie.Scared the shit out of me as a kid. I think of Aliens(director's cut) as the perfect science fiction film. The Colony, the company, the atmosphere processor, the marines, the queen, the pulse rifle, and the coolest group of side characters put in blockbuster.

@@muhest The brilliance of Aliens is it didn't re-do Alien. Every horror movie gets progressively less scary. Seeing the alien for the first time is scary. Seeing it for the 100th time? Not scary! So, turning the sequel into an action movie works. It feels different, but still connected to the universe, and a continuation of the story.
