And I agree that Alien is one of the greatest sci fi movies, not so much because it has a more realistic feel--what is the point of being real in a movie about spaceships and monsters--but simply on the imagery and symbolism. The huge structure housing the alien eggs on the hostile planet looked like falopian tubes...the imagery of an arthropodic lifeform to impregnate a male and then use his body to give birth was brilliant...the image of nash stuffing a manual or was it girly mags down weaver´s throat...the way the suspense built up around a little furry cat and then we got the first view of the alien...the slime encountered by dallas just before the alien embraces him...the use of different sexes and the token African American in the film...it was all just done very well and in the context of the ship called mother it explored the concept of alien on many levels.
