The Seven Best Thrillers: #4

4. Alien (1979)
Directed by Ridley Scott
Starring Sigourney Weaver and Tom Skerritt
Winner of the Best Visual Effects Oscar. Also Nominated for Best Art Direction.

"Alien" is one of those movies where, no matter how advanced special effects become, it will never ware out. Ridley Scott's timeless direction is visible in every frame of this movie. And, no matter how many times it's criticized, parodied or otherwise butchered, nothing beats that scene when the alien pops out of the crew members' stomach. Absolutely priceless.
