I certainly respect your opinion, which is why I asked.

Personally, I never considered BR or Alien (or Easy Rider for that matter) to push the envelope - but I do think that each had something new to offer their respective genres - not unlike Terminator. Yes T had Aahnold....had heart-stopping action and memorable cliches, but I thought it had a wonderfully conceived and executed plot for a MAINSTREAM film (mainstream being the operative word here). I believe this to be true of BR and Alien, too. I agree with Audiohead that, at this point, Alien is only interesting if watched several years apart or under the influence of mind altering substances (I prefer 1 or 10 good micro beers, myself ;-) but nevertheless, upon their original release, I thought all these movies had something new and fresh to offer.

I hope that made sense.
