The original Alien did it for me. The marketing campaign built it up so much, with the egg and "In space, no one can here you scream". Everyone was pumped and had no idea what it was going to be about. The ads on TV with the "movie voice guy" that did the ominous ads, it was a great time to be alive. When I saw the movie, my mind was blown. It was almost the opposite of Star Wars, dark, gritty, dirty, suspenseful, adult, perfectly acted, written, paced, edited, sound, music, it was a goddamn masterpiece of science fiction horror that's never been equalled. Aliens was awesome too, but we'd already seen the Alien. Before the original it was still a mystery. The only other marketing campaign that equalled it was The Matrix, with all the "what IS the Matrix" commercials.

He hates 80's movies where the hero had to be a good guy, which is a deviation from the 60's and 70's, but what he means is Lethal Weapon, not 80's horror or sci fi; those films, which were disrespected by Hollywood as not being real art, kept that 60's and 70's vibe of the hero not having to be likable or moral or 'the good guy,'. Aliens is a perfect example, becasue the hero is female, and had Hollywood known it would make as much money as it did, they would have wanted a man to play the hero. In horror and sci fi films in the 80's you could do anything, but not in mainstream films. Lethal Weapon 2 would not have featured a female hero, but Aliens could, becasue the latter was not serious cinema as far as Hollywood was concerned. And to prove what I'm talking about; Sigourney Weaver received an Oscar nomination that year, and went down in history as the first person to ever be nominated for an Oscar for staring in a sci fi film, and she lost, but not becasue she did not deserve the Oscar; she had hands down the best female performance in film that year; they did not give her the Oscar becasue it was unthinkable in the 80's to give a leading role Oscar for a sci fi movie, which is why her nomination was only due to the fact they had no choice; had they not nominated her it would have looked too suspicious; her acting was so good in that film they HAD to nominate her, but not becasue they wanted to, and they would be damned if she was going to win. Stephen King can tell you all about the bias people have about horror and sci fi as art. But QT knows that all the good 80's horror and sci fi films out there might as well have been made in the 70's as far as vibe goes.

As much as I love Alien, it is still a standard horror film- a self-contained slasher flick in space. The creature design & atmosphere make it unique. But the elements in Aliens- from characters, sci-fi military designs, and alien "hive" concept directly influenced everything from Predator, to Halo, Starcraft, countless film knockoffs. Even dialogue from Aliens is quoted in many games & movies. Alien, in my opinion, still remains the best cosmic horror film ever made though. @@bannjaxx

Cameron managed to do the same with Terminator 2 - take a sci fi premise (in this case, one he invented) and make a sequel that expands on it coherently, with great action sequences, and introducing such moving relationships that you'll find yourself tearing up. I feel like Cameron isn't quite recognized as the best blockbuster director there is, but he should be.

To have seen all of these as they were released and at almost the perfect age to see them.

I spent my teen years watching it repeatedly - I may have seen it over 100 times - and it never gets old. The way Cameron honours the slow-burning tension of the first film to set the scene, but then lets all hell break loose and has you on the edge of your seat right up until the closing minutes...just wow. I saw a young KZfaqr reacting to this for the first time recently, and they had to pause the action and say "I don't know how much more of this I can take". 😂 Yeah, young brother, that was how our generation felt too.

The pacing, the mise en scene, the special effects, the characters, acting, atmosphere, storytelling, direction, writing… absolutely great filmmaking.

Nowadays the right wingers would cry about the female soldiers in the film, and gender issues thereof, and about the lead actor being a female hero, and Aliens would have a three out of five stars from all the trolls trashing the film. It would be branded a 'woke' film, and they would say the head Marnie was only black becasue of affirmative action, and the film would be part of the now never ending culture war. If you were 8 today, and it came out today, chances are you might not ever see it.

@@raveporn The female characters in Aliens had some air of believability (within the constraints of science fiction). Ripley's strength isn't her ability to fight 200 lb dudes with karate. It's her strong motherly resolve that propels her toward heroism. Vazquez, a more physical character so to speak (soldier) actually looks and acts like a butch lesbian. The problem nowadays is that Hollywood is afraid to embrace archetypes in fear of stereotyping. So they mash completely unconnected and implausible traits together, and funnel it through a PR office office - by appealing to as wide an audience as possible they end up appealing to no one. But, to your point, James Cameron was actually pretty "woke" before "woke" was a thing.

@@andrewgonzalez6208 At some point in his life the cinephile finds himself exploring films he is told are great, but which he would otherwise never have considered watching. Invariably, many of these films are underwhelming. Often it's because they're dated, appeal to a very particular taste, or established some revolutionary milestone that has since been imitated into a cliche. It's great when a classic is discovered, however, and remains as excellent as we are told. Aliens and The Dark Knight are such films.

QT's enthusiasm for Cinema is just a joy to behold. With his own genius creations, with no prior experience of him, you'd guess he was into arty farty indie movies nobody has heard of - and he likely is - but also to be a massive fan of one of the greatest Gung-ho action movie sequels ever made - and to share his enthusiasm in such an animated way - makes me smile from ear to ear the whole 2 minutes 3 seconds of this video. Cheers.

I saw this movie in the theatres back when it first came out and it was so good! It was gripping and just held your attention from beginning to end. The cast, the characters, the story, the action, the drama, the humour... everything was on point! The scene that made me freak out was when the Aliens were coming out of the walls waking up to attack the soldiers. All those dark shadowy shapes in the walls were them sleeping 😳 And Michael Biehn as Hicks was perfect recasting casting.

Cameron knew how to conclude a movie too. From start to finish, great plot development and pacing. He also knew how to make everyone look vulnerable and desperate to survive which gradually shows them facing the danger and becoming more heroic or breaking down and becoming cowardly.

Aliens is hands down the best movie ever made.............................Ripley is my all time number 1 action hero/heroine. I have been watching this movie since I was barely in high school. I was so enamoured by it - then when the special edition came out in 1990 on VHS, I walked straight into WH Smith, picked up a copy off the shelf and went to the checkout. The woman behind the desk asked me how old I was, I answered "15" (which I was). It never even occurred to me that the movie was 18 rated and that I had to lie about my age.........the checkout operator obviously refused to sell it to me. Gutted, I went straight home, handed £10 to my mum (I think that's how much it was) and asked her to get it for me (which she did). I fear we'll never see the likes of that movie ever again. A 4k HDR version has been suggested - can't wait!

Aliens, The Godfather 2, The Empire Strikes Back, Toy Story 2 and Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Khan are sequels that really blow the first movies away which is impressive because they all had good or even great first movies. These are in that very small percentage of sequels that really take it next level.

I was visiting my sister at the time, she being in the Navy and stationed in Alexandria, Virginia at the time. The theater I was watching it in had a power outage right at the scene where Hudson's looking at the movement-tracker gizmo as the aliens are approaching, shortly after the lights went out, when they were about to deep-six Burke for being a traitorous weasel . . . and the power outage in the movie theater prevented the rest of the film from being shown, so we all got refunds and had to see it the next night. I had to wait a whole goddamned day to find out what happened next -- when the bugs were "in the room" . . . crawling between the ceiling and the roof, then all the mayhem happened. As great as the original 'ALIEN' was, the sequel 'ALIENS' became that rare sequel that surpassed its original source film. And the expanded Special Edition was even better. I liked the other movies, but I was a bit miffed that the 3rd film essentially made all of Ripley's heroic efforts to save Newt be all-for-nothing, as it opens up and . . . BLAM, everybody's dead except for Ripley! I'm willing to bet that if they had taken a survey of the fans of the first two films and asked whether or not they'd be okay with Newt & Hicks being unceremoniously killed off before the 3rd film's story even begins, every single fan would've vehemently screamed "NO FUCKING WAY!!!" Well, like it or not, we're stuck with 'ALIEN 3' as it is. RIP, Newt & Hicks . . .

I love this movie. One of my favorites. Have watched it countless times. I remember seeing the theatrical version when I was younger and later on discovered the extended version that is even better. One of the best sequels ever to an amazing classic that is Alien. I think the one thing James Cameron does best is the way he builds characters. Seeing T2 and Aliens he just knows how to make them believable and relatable in a realistic way. Characters become something because of the experiences they lived in previous movies and the movie we are watching. They are not perfect and have flaws and problems to overcome, just like all of us.

T2 is an amazing feat on this level. The core emotional triangle is between a death robot and a child who never knew his father, and between those two and the boy's mother who was traumatized BY THE SAME ROBOT and who therefore cannot connect emotionally with her child. It's so weird and in its premise should struggle to serve as an analog for any real world human relationship, but as the movie plays it seems to contain great wisdom and pathos within it. It's like a magic trick.

This is one of the best explanations of how I felt about Aliens as well. But I greatly appreciate Tarantinos excitement and true appreciation for a multitude of genres. His embrace of film is why he is so meticulous in crafting his own films. My first job was at the movie theaters and the fact we could get in free all the time made us all watch an insane amount of films. It also got us to open the foreign, art house, and Indy film genres so we actually saw Reservoir Dogs in the theater. We were like the guys in the movie Swingers with the poster on our wall and telling as many people that would listen.

Grew up in West LA and loved the AVCO Cinema. That and the Mann National were the place to watch movies, often in 70mm. Saw Return of the Jedi and Karate Kid, among others, there when they opened. Wish I saw Aliens though but wasn't aware of it as a kid and probably my mom wouldn't have let me see it, but even on a 20" TV on VHS it blew my mind and had me white knuckling it the entire time.

Loved Alien and Aliens as a kid. Especially love the Director's Cuts of both. Alien DC is about a minute shorter than the theatrical cut, but ALIENS DC is almost a three hour movie. I remember being excited for Aliens when I heard it's theatrical runtime was 2hrs.,17mins. James Cameron shoots a movie to completion (post production included), and then edits from there. That's why his director's cuts look so damn good.

I own a hard copy on DVD, and just watched it the other night. It still holds up brilliantly. Obviously its very different to the first movie, but the biggest standout is how much we get to see the xenomorphs. Then Cameron takes it up a notch with the idea of the Queen, her lair, the gestation tube, holy shit! Then he goes even further with the queen actually being a total badass that can move with authority. Most directors maybe would've built the queen but kept her pumping out the eggs. To have her transition into a warrior was exactly what QT is talking about when he says we get even 'MORE' than expected.
