ALIEN (1979). I saw this at a Midnight movie with my Brother after working a 12 hour day (had a callout, so stayed in to cover the shift), was tired and starting to doze in the first half hour with Bro giving Me gentle nudges to keep Me awake and once the big scene in here happened, I was on full alert
for the rest of the film.
Compared to ALIENS, there are some long stretches here and honestly, having to be around the NOSTROMO crew would make me yearn for the long nap; not a cozy bunch at all.
Slow it may be, but some great scenes which scared the bejesus out of Me and truly suspenseful towards the end. The sets are amazing and the HR Giger work is impressive. Also like how all the cast went on to great roles after this. ****
