@grim_elsewhere I do like Alien as well, but I feel Aliens is the better film.
I really like that (although some may call it pandering) the feminine characters are so strong!
Like, in the first Alien, you could mistake Ripley for a "final girl"
But there's not one single minute in Aliens where you think "oh shit Ripley don't got this!" and it's just a matter of telling an interesting environmental story where the right person overcomes stacked risks and looks cool doing it.
