2. One of my favourites too...
I was obsessed with the 'Alien' universe's storyline & HR Giger's art for a while. :D

And visually, 'Aliens' is the best of the Alien movies, IMHO.

3. OMG... It's on TCM?!!
Jeebus... You have got to be kidding me.

I am soooooo old. I first saw the original "Alien" -- in the friggin' theater! It was R-rated (had to get my father to take me though... but still).

5. So's the copy in my DVD collection
I still can't wrap my brain around 'Aliens' being considered 'classic' in the TCM sense.

*boggledy-boggledy noises*

6. Well then you are not artistically sensitive enough . . .
. . . to understand the sci-fi horror genre.

It is probably the best ever made.

8. Hardly. Aliens is literally my favorite movie ever
The director's cut is even better.

It's the "it's old enough to be 'classic' part" that gives me trouble. Because it strongly suggests, -I- am that old too!

You are beautiful.

7. Alien and Aliens two of the best
sci-fi/horror/action movies ever...Alien3 and Alien Resurrection both huge disappointments but still have their moments

13. I named my dog Hudson after his character
I always wanted two dogs: Hudson and Hicks, but my wife only let us get one. I guess I'll name our next one Hicks.
