Ranking my favorite movies of all time is a tough task. My own personal list regularly shuffles around as my mood changes, but one pick always right at the top is “Alien”. The 1979 sci-fi horror movie is among the most influential movies ever made and is unquestionably a masterpiece (and it’s better than its sequel “Aliens”, fight me).
I’ve watched “Alien” more times than I can count, and back in 2019, I was fortunate enough to see it in theaters when it was re-released to celebrate its 40th anniversary. Getting to experience such a remarkable movie on a massive cinema screen was a genuine treat, which is why I’m utterly delighted that “Alien” is making its way back to theaters once again in just a matter of weeks.
