Watching Alien for what seems like the 1000th time. A damn near perfect movie.
My only 3 minor gripes with this film are
When the alien kills Dallas, the shot goes on a few frames too long, so it looks like the Alien wants a hug.
After the chest burster scene, the mini alien escape across the dining table is a bit cute and comical.
Terrible edit when it switches from Ash’s dummy head to the actor. Just insert a cutaway, before cutting back to the actor. Terrible edit.
But I dread to think how many times I’ve seen that movie, or will likely watch it again.
