"Breathtakingly original, consistently sinister and utterly compelling. For once, a story of alien arrival (and then fast departure) with no explanation, and no sense that they/it thought humanity was worth a damn. They just came, and left their garbage. Maybe."

This is such a weird movie XD. the weird baby alien thing was proper creepy and wrong. although it did have some interesting concepts, the movie is unsettling, but not in a good way. either way, i still enjoyed watching it.

"This next one, there’s an actress tie-in. The next one is Alien. So, I clearly have a bit of a Sigourney Weaver fetish. I love the movie Alien. I wouldn’t say… I mean, I like sci-fi movies – I’m open to them – but I’m not a huge sci-fi buff, I guess. I really love watching the older sci-fi films that had the man-made special effects, the pre-CGI practical effects, and I think that Alien is one of the greatest examples of that. I think that movie is so cool. For the time when it was made, the effects, I think, hold up completely. You know, the scene with the alien popping out of the guy’s chest. It’s gripping. And also, it’s very dramatic as a film. It’s not as action-heavy as you might think it should be in your mind; because you’re setting up the whole thing, there’s a lot of silence. There’s a lot of people alone – you see them on their own. And obviously Sigourney Weaver is so incredible in it. I don’t think it was the first time I saw it, but the first movie that I saw in the Cinerama Dome at the Arclight was Alien, so I think it just cinematically took my breath away. You know, by that time, The Matrix is getting made, and you’re having these cooler effects and other things going on, and I still found it so admirable that something like that holds up and cinematically is so beautiful."

Innovative in it's day and makes for decent viewing, even now many years later. (2 more)
The main characters became household names.
Pretty decent stories with intergalactic battles of alien type species!
Iconic Sci Fi TV series, that has stood the test of time.

The haunting, melancholic voice of Thom Yorke
Listening to Thom Yorke's melodious voice on a record player literally sends shivers down your spine. The electronic moans of "Subterranean Homesick Alien" and "Karma Police" makes grown men weep. This is literally what you get.
