Classic space horror!
If you're a fan of sci-fi movies or horror movies and haven't seen Alien, please extricate yourself from under that rock and get on it immediately! Thirty-five years later, this movie still makes me squirm with tension every time I see it. Ridley Scott took the schlocky science-fiction creature feature genre and brought it to a whole other level. This is one of my favorite films of all time.
