4. Alien (Directors Cut)

"Yeah, just lower yourself down and grab a couple of those eggs. Lovely grub!"

What is there left to say about one of the greatest sci-fi movies of all time?

Not much, other than this version features Dallas all slimed up in alien goo and then getting burnt up by Ripley - initially I thought this was a bit of a naff looking puppet but after watching one of the many excellent 'makings ofs' featured on this Blu-Ray Quadrilogy, it turns out it was Tom Skerritt after all - just looking really ill and 'puppety'.

Perhaps that's why Ridley Scott decided to ditch the scene initially. Anyway please, please, please make sure that Prometheus isn't shit. Come on Ridley I know you can do it!
