Ridley Scott (Gladiator, Blade Runner) directed this legendary film that started the series. In '79 this was one of the scariest films ever made for a lot of moviegoers. Over the years, remakes and imitations have made this film seem weak. But, overall this is still one of the most suspenseful of all the Alien series. This is the original, the start of it all. It is an essential video, a film released between Star Wars and Empire Strikes Back, and a sleek and stylish thriller.
