Alien   1979         R, 116 min. Genre: Sci-Fi / Horror / Thriller Director: Ridley Scott   Cast: Tom Skerritt, Sigourney Weaver, John Hurt, Ian Holm, Harry Dean Stanton, Yaphet Kotto, Veronica Cartwright, Helen Horton, Bolaji Badejo, Eddie Powell   While returning to Earth, the spaceship Nostromo responds to an S.O.S. from a distant planet. Capt. Dallas (Tom Skerritt) and his crew explore the planet and discover a pod field. They approach the field for a closer look, and a creature leaps out and attaches itself to Kane (John Hurt). Despite Warrant Officer Ripley's (Sigourney Weaver) objections, Kane reenters the spaceship. Soon after, an offspring of the alien erupts from Kane's stomach and runs off. Dallas leads his group in a search for what they now see as an alien killing machine. Incredibly scary film (not for kids) that was justifiably awarded the Best Visual Effects Oscar in 1979.
