Alien
The film that gave us the action heroine, in the shape of Sigourney Weaver's Ellen Ripley, and presented space travel as just another job. It's a tour-de-force of suspense, slasher antics and good old-fashioned sci-fi
With Alien, Ridley Scott delivered more than just a memorable 'haunted house in space' campfire tale. He and screenwriter Dan O'Bannon used the monster as a Freudian symbol, launched a franchise that lasted for more than 20 years and set the unknown Sigourney Weaver en route to stardom.
The crew of the mining vessel Nostromo investigate a distress signal from another ship - but realise too late that it's in fact a warning to stay away. They uncover a huge store of eggs discovered alongside the body of an unidentified alien.

Terrifying, Original Movie of VERY High Quality
I'll always remember the first time I saw Alien - I was absolutely terrified. I'd never (and still haven't) seen anything like the Alien in these movies. The suspense and chills were superb! Just waiting for this thing to pounce was unbelievably tense. Weaver is amazing as Ripley and went on to reprise the role for all the sequels brilliantly. In fact she has become as notorious as the Alien! The most frightening concept of this Alien was the fact that it was so indestructable - even having acid for blood. With it's double (or is it triple?) jaws and formidable appearance this Alien is the best ever created in my opinion - and even though it doesn't make that much of an appearance in the first movie compared to the sequels, the scares and jump moments are in abundance! ...
