The films, in release order

Alien 1979Ridley Scott’s *Alien* makes confinement frightening long before the shocks arrive. Its crew could be more fully written, but the acting, the ship and the patient build-up make this a horror film we recommend without hesitation.Fi1m 92 - 2
Aliens 1986James Cameron’s *Aliens* is an exceptional action thriller, with Sigourney Weaver giving the military spectacle a human centre. Some marines are little more than types, but Ripley gives us reason to care who survives.Fi1m 91
