I have watched it , many times. It's still the best, the set pieces, the camera work. The actual action sequences. Like others have already said, Alien and Aliens are two different sub genres of movie. As a stand alone action movie from the 80s, it doesn't get much better. Alien as a thriller horror is great too.
Show me an 80s action movie that wasn't campy or filled with cocaine fuelled writing and dialogue being acted out by coked out actors.
Gotta remember women's lib was getting hot and there were absolutely zero action Heroine roles out there until Ripley. Red Sonja don't count lol.
