If You erase Alien You won't have Aliens. I'm keeping Alien.
i would choose the thing mainly cause the acting is waaaay above alien's
I prefer John Carpenter’s The Thing, I would get rid of the prequel/remake though.
I like the Alien universe a lot though, I just prefer the feel of watching The Thing to Alien (which stresses me out more)
You monster
I'm keeping The Thing. As good as Alien is, I think The Thing is better.
Keep Alien. Someone would have remade The Thing From Another World anyway, eventually.
That was a great video game, really out of this world
Both these are in my all-time top ten, it would be like choosing to kill one of my kids... Is what I would say if the 1979 movie Alien wasn't a masterpiece. It would win by a long shot. Now if we're talkin 1986 Aliens, I would keep The Thing, because it's objectively a better movie.
Yeah I ment alien ('79) I didn't realize I said aliens until it was too late. Up until probably like 3 years ago I would have said The thing. I think they are pretty much identical quality, both fantastic movies. But now days my answer would be Alien. Simply for the fact it might be a little more rewatchable only in the sense that I only ever really watch the thing during winter. I can be in the mood to watch alien any season.
No.
