Aliens? I dunno. Alien is kind of dark/cult sci-fi and Aliens is big budget, working from already established world kind of stuff. There are some over the top lines that are kind of cheesy, but for some reason I find myself watching Aliens more often than Alien.

The Thing, John Carpenter version is IMO far superior to the first. This in fact is one of my favorite movies ever. Never gets old or outdated. They could release the film today and outside the grainy film quality, which I think even adds to the tone of the film, I think it would still bring in the big bucks.

Any thoughts ?
