I was 10 that summer, and spent a large chunk of it wheedling my mom to let me go see "Alien." She finally gave in, and as I was getting out of the car she said, "That movie is going to give you nightmares!"

Only in the last few years did a "focused re-watch" of it. I sometimes forget it's such a beautiful film -- some of the shots are spectacularly gorgeous in lighting, composition, colors; all that.
