Last Movie Watched

Alien . the only one worth watching imo. the sequels are dire.

Yeah, I agree. The first was more of a gothic horror in the classic sense, a nightmare landscape of unseen dangers lurking in dark shadows. The sequels were more action/adventure scifi ... which is a great genre too, but not in keeping with the dimly lit, sleep paralysis feel of the original.

absolutely steve, my thinking exactly. sequels were just silly shoot em ups -- no intelligence, shoddy script, no finesse in acting. but yes, the original is brilliant. I always love the tag line too: in space no one can hear u scream. just brilliant .

although right at the end of the movie, we do hear the alien scream as it gets blasted by the spaceship exhaust.

rear window

Which one? Rear Window (1954) - IMDb or Rear Window (TV 1998) - IMDb? The first is considered a classic, the 2nd not so much.

the stewart version sir -- just brilliant. the 2nd is indeed awful ; i watched the first 30mins and then switched off lol. absolute carp !!!

Raymond Burr SCARED THE HELL out of me when I first saw Rear Window.
In fact, come to think of it, he still does, even now when I watch it again. (Sort of like the "shower scene" of the the original Psycho.)
