Just the best scene. When the music gets wow! Makes me smile and gives goose bumps

[usman]

The music climaxes are great, and the scene climaxes are also great. 😮

It's the greatest movie scene of all time, followed-up three minutes later by the greatest movie scene of all time.

At 1:44 Newt actually works the switch to close the ramp--what a brave little girl.

One of those moments in time. A certain movie, a certain actress and a certain line and you know you're watching something really special. ❤

[FireTiger]

One of THE greatest scenes in all of cinema!

[LongbowPilot]

A Chefs Kiss moment of a fantastic movie. Cameron and Horner were an absolute magnificent powerhouse in this production paring meticulous cinematography with an outstanding, highly charged score

I always liked the way Newt turns around to help Ripley on the plane.

[EleanorPeterson]

I'd say that was pretty well punched, Bishop. TOGA, even.😁

I was 10 and saw this at the theaters with my parents and sister. That beginning scene the crown went “oh no” and all the expletives along with it about bishop. Than as he rescues them you hear the loud applause. Amazing turn of events.

Whenever my wife is driving, perhaps attempting a left turn in heavy traffic and a gap opens up I always say “Punch it Bishop” or “Go for it Stephanie”

The alien queen took the chance in 1:57 to get up the dropship.
