With the 30th Overall pick The All Or Nuttin team is proud to select in the "Sci Fi" category, another sequel that has arguably surpassed the original, winner of 2 Academy Awards, nominated in 5 other categories including Best Actress in a Leading Role Sigourney Weaver, a movie that is perfect in every way: storyline, characters, menacing threat, suspense, intensity, tension, action, direction, acting, music, sarcasm and emotion, an epic battle of two formidable females, a James Cameron masterpiece Aliens.



A sequel to the 1979 film Alien, Aliens is set fifty-seven years after the first film and is regarded by many film critics as a benchmark for the action and science fiction genres.[2][3] In Aliens, Weaver's character Ellen Ripley returns to the planet LV-426 where she first encountered the hostile Alien. This time she is accompanied by a unit of Colonial Marines.

Directed by James Cameron, Aliens' action/adventure tone was in stark contrast to the science fiction/horror motifs of the original Alien. Following the success of The Terminator (1984), which helped establish Cameron as a major action director.

It's a shame Weaver did not win an Oscar.

This time it's War:
