Never overlook the genius of Alien's designs. Ash's innards could so easily have been represented by wires, flashing lights, circuit boards and glowing juice... The choice of waxy, white liquid oozing around rubbery tubes and bulbs is inspired. It screams 'synthetic' over 'robotic'.

[wowliker]

"I can't lie to you about your chances but, you have my sympathies." Got to be one of the coldest lines in this movie.

1:00 You can see ash’s mouth moving before he speaks like he’s trying to say “yes, I can hear you” with vocal chords, before he switches to a voicebox after they don’t work. It’s like someone switching to a different cable in a voicecall after their microphone doesn’t work. That’s a really cool detail.

"Crew: Expendable". What a chilling line. The horror when the remaining crew realize that their company used them as bait to get the creature.

[lesant]

We are talking about a 1979 movie without fake cgi special affect. Its all pure genius cinematography from the 70's . Well done Sir Ridley Scott and his crew.

[hotelmario]

It says a lot about how good this scene is that 0:34 is one of the dodgiest-looking cuts in cinema history, and yet Ian Holm's chilling performance absolutely overshadows it.

[khep]

I admire the purity of his acting. RIP Sir Ian Holm.

[eddiewinters]

One of the most unnerving and scariest scenes in the movie. When Ash does that little smile at the end, my blood ran cold.

I've described my ex girlfriend this way. "Structural perfection is matched only by its hostility, unclouded by conscience, remorse and delusions of morality."

[jazzypenguin]

Not a single eye flicker.
Truly master acting here.

[chandranrajiv]

This to me, was the most chilling scene of the movie. Some consider the chestburster scene as the pivot of this movie - to me, it is this scene - when the crew are finally told what it is they are dealing with - a perfect organism, whose structural perfection is matched only by its hostility, a survivor -unclouded by conscience, remorse and delusions of morality. One of the greatest lines in the history of cinema.

"I can't lie to you about your chances, but you have my sympathies."

That's the scariest line in the movie for me. I think this line best conveyed how utterly F***ED they are

[afarro]

You still don’t understand what you’re dealing with, do you?
Perfect organism, it’s structural perfection is matched only by its hostility.
- You admire it?
I admire its purity, a survivor ... Unclouded by conscience, remorse, or delusions of morality …

I can't even imagine the horror the audience must hv felt when they first watched it in theatres!
The finest space horror films of all time

[danielwhite]

1:41 His delivery of ‘You can’t.’ is absolutely outstanding. Cold and final.

[justinbergmans]

I love how Yaphet Kotos character was very heroic and tried to protect his teammate at the end. An absolute classic.

[Treblaine]

After 45 years and 5 sequels they've tried to reach this peak again and they never got close.

[jonnyfavors]

Dude..the way his face looks when she unplugs him kills me everytime!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣

[ericriffel]

All the actors in this film delivered excellent performances.

You have my sympathies
