My favorite movie. An exscusite blend of thriller/action/horror/sci-fi. The cast exudes chemistry. Just absolutely iconic. The influence can be seen in movies, games, comics, etc. But nothing can touch the OG. It just so happens to contain my favorite line in all of cinema and something that I have put in my will to be etched upon my tombstone.
"I say we take off and nuke the site from orbit. Its the only way to be sure."
Fucking a. This is also from the 80s and thats a woman saying that line. Lets be honest with ourselves here, Ripley is the most progressive character in any movie, from any age, bar none. She was the most bad ass character ever, acting alongside an ensemble of some of the most bad ass dudes ever, and I would be proud to have her words emblazoned upon my epitaph.
I just love this movie so hard. If you haven't seen it, treat yourself on a rainy night.
