I also enjoyed very much, thanks Oliver!
Know where you can get the Alien Quadrilogy in Director’s Cut form? Every one I’ve seen has been the theatrical cuts
Could you do one for the lord of the rings series? They're comparable to starwars in epicness...
Man you should do trailers. The alien trailer with the egg is brilliant though it shows nowt
Hi Oliver and everyone! I have a question regarding Ash. I noticed that their "hibernation" machine or something only has 6! Pods and they are 7, meaning Ash didnt need to hibernate just like the character David in Prometheus. How come they did not notice this?! When they woke up they must have seen there were only 6 sleeping pods not 7! Thanks!
Those set pieces are still jaw-dropping. Incredible what they were able to achieve with a tiny budget.
R.I.P. John Hurt, Harry Dean Stanton and Bill Paxton. :(
TheBraunMachine2011 and don.t forgot dan o bannon
Game over man..
TheBraunMachine2011 RIP as well to actor Bolaji Badejo who played the Zenomorph in Alien in 1979 and died in 1992.
billythekid perez that was actor Kevin Peter Hall who played the Predator in Predator in 1987 and again in Predator 2 in 1990 who played Harry but he died in 1991. Badejo was the unknown actor who played Xenomorph in Alien but sadly died in 1992 from sickle cell anemia.
May they continue the good fight above the Heavens.
The greatest sci fi horror movie ever. Nothing compares to this. Everything is perfect: the pacing, the characters, the creature, the environment, the music.
Aliens is great but still has nothing on Alien
Aliens is more like action adventure with dying characters than horror/thriller.
You obviously have never seen Galaxina...
Nothing compares to Alien. It really is a one of a kind.
Totally agree!
The thing can compete
This is the one and only movie that was so intense in the theater that I wanted badly to get out into the lobby. But because the movie was so wildly new and popular I was in a theater where people were even sitting in the aisles and in the back row standing. I found the scene in the the medical bay where they had John Hurt's body in a chamber while he had the face hugger on him the most suspenseful to the point I was almost panicking. The part when the alien's skin and fell down off the overhead light made me so terrified I whispered to my best friend "I don't think I can stay here, I gotta get out" and she whispered back "I know, but it's too crowded to get out! Just cover your eyes..."
Oh boy, imagine being 12 year old kid at home alone in the late evening after watching Relic (1997) switching off the light and going to bed the feeling was `who is there in the dark ? Is it gonna get me ?` 😆Sweating in panic.
Another 12 years later I`ve read the book. It is still on my shelf on top row.
My little brother was 12 and he only saw a feature about the film on TV. But after that he couldn‘t eat eggs for quiet a long time 😅
The sign of a good sci fi film is how well it dates.
Alien and Bladerunner do not look old.
Logans Run while a great story looks like a 70's film
Also The Thing, Predator, The Terminator and Aliens.
Surprise no one has mention the biggest one, Star Wars which was 1977
I'll never watch another Marvel film, Christ they suck balls.
@@bryan0x05 that's because Star Wars is pants. The effects were good, but the movie is junk.
@@MichaelJohnson-kq7qg You may not have liked it, but it ended being one of the biggest and most beloved sci-fi franchises, and open the doorway for companies realizing high budget sci-fi is viable.
amazing they just build an entire ship and no cgi
What impresses me most is that the entire ship was created as a single set that the actors could walk through from room to room, corridor to corridor. Just brilliant.
All sets and everything is in camera...that's why they still look so good today
You can't beat physical sets and model work. CGI always looks like CGI no matter how good it gets. Today you and I can create the kind of CGI they used in the 90s on our own PCs but even the Hollywod studios can't make CGI look as real as a physical model. It always looks too... plasticky if you know what I mean
@@countzero1136 I agree, sometimes CGI looks too perfect, for want of a better word. A physical set is better.
Made in England.
R.I.P. to stars Harry Dean Stanton and John Hurt and it’s crazy to think this classic movie had only 7 cast members and could follow each character. One of my favorite movies
I saw it at the drive-in when I was 8. My parents smuggled me in the rear footwell covered in a blanket so they didn't have to buy a ticket. It scared the absolute _shit_ outta me! I had to curl up on my dad's chest and not look at the screen. Just listen to his heartbeat while he laughed. He loved scary movies. Ahhh... Good times. :)
HaHa The drive-in was my 1st as well. My mother took me (I was 12) It was one of those drive-ins where you tuned your car radio to a certain frequency and heard it through your stereo. My eyes were as big as pie plates and you can still make out the claw marks on my left forearm where she had a death grip. After the movie was over we both could finally breathe _out._ Good times indeed. ;)
@@michaelmoore7975 You had a STEREO! Man, that's fancy. We had an AM mono radio. Wouldn't matter tho', coz we didn't have those fancy FM radio waves yet. Just the metal speaker you hook on your window.
When I was teen we used to crawl through a hole in the fence and sit next to one of those speakers. Got chased-off a couple times, but we leapt over the fence like gazelles! Good times. :)
@@MajorMalfunction It might've been quadruple mono for all I know.....but my mom's boyfriend at the time was a sort of an audiophile and fitted her car with a "system" of that time....badass 8-track with 4 speakers oh yeahhh!! I can't tell you how many times I've had Billy Joel's _Zanzibar_ blasting in my ears... *_good times indeed._*
@@michaelmoore7975 8-track? Phew! That WAS the good stuff!
Did your drive-ins have kids playgrounds up front? As kids we'd all run and play around there until the movie started. Everyone would flash their lights and honk their horns, and the kids would run back to their cars. And everyone would flash their lights and honk their horns in applause when something interesting happened in the movie.
And if it was a dual screen, and your movie ended before the other one, you'd drive over and catch the end of the other one. Even better if they had two movies each. You could drive from one screen to the other to choose which two movies you wanted to watch.
Tho' it's bad manners to use your headlights moving when the movie's on. ;)
@@MajorMalfunction Yup. All that. But our "playground" was pretty neglected; things never got fixed. Maybe 2 or 3 swings still had chains and could use. The merry-go-round went...sorta around, but sounded like someone dragging a metal trash can across a gravel parking lot. And half of the whatchacallits... those plastic animal things mounted on a giant spring? There was always 1 or 2 that looked like a flaccid pecker. Also on the 4th of July you went in, found a spot, and they would use the playground to stage the fireworks. Also also the snack bar you could enter at the rear or front that was a breezeway between 2 buildings. All the scary kids who smoked and looked for trouble hung out in the back entrance. You avoided them at all costs. So going in the front, the huge snack bar was on the right with the sound of the movie piped in and a huuuge plate glass viewing window. In front of the snack bar was an area walled around a bunch of chairs where you could watch in the open air. But on the left side was a completely enclosed and air conditioned seating area. And the glass front was the longest piece of glass I'd ever seen. But they hardly ever opened that up. It got to the point to we went but never watched the movie, instead meeting at the playground and passing around a bottle of corn whiskey somebody pilfered from their dads toolbox.
By the time I was a HS Senior, it had shutdown.... *_but_* .....they left the little roadways open and the drive-in became my personal budoir for all things _en flagrante delicto._ Just a little outside town, perfectly isolated, no chance of getting caught. For 2 years I used that place...until I/we got caught; cold outside, steamed up windows, not a stitch on and giving the suspension a workout...and all of a sudden....a flashlight clicks on _right outside the window_ not 4 inches from my face....instant floppy. I crack the window about an inch and I say to the cop, "Can I help ya with something?
Replies: "Y'all put your clothes on and c'mon out."
The worst part was the cop told her to call her dad to pick her up because we're both under 21.
What a superb piece of work this review is. Well done - u obviously put a huge amount of time and effort into it. Top class and thank you.
Thank you very much!
My favorite part of this review is when you talk about Ash (around the 30 minutes mark). I think exactly the same. Such a fascinating character and what great acting by Ian Holm. Although all actors are great in this classic.
+Clint Dlowrev
Only when you watch this several times and pay close attention to Ash do you realise what a terrific piece of acting that was - and not just when the shit hits the fan. Even early on in the film, you need to look closely to see the robotic way he changes his facial expressions. It's beautifully done.
That running-on-the-spot gesture, haha - even the crappy robots in Alien Isolation do that!
+Mai Nem I still need to play that game.
Interesting that the android David stole the show in the new Prometheus story arc.
The cast didn't like Ian Holmes - because they were "in character" and knew Ian was on the side of the Alien, which he was (again, Ian was "in character") - so he was rejected as a friend and had lonely time filming. I saw a photo of him at age 70 or 80 and he was still in character (maybe just for the photo)
When I was a early teenager, my dad made me watch this movie and The Thing when they came on back to back on the TV channel AMC. Alien was terrifying yet kept my interest, but The Thing scarred me for life.
I have been a sub for a year now and still dont know why he doesnt have more subscribers
Yeah , just thinking that aswell . Ollie should be at least 75,000 by now
+Movies4Life Thats very nice of you to say. Im slowly building up numbers but it takes promotion and for individuals to share my work on websites with large traffic to build up numbers quickly and to gain bigger audience.
Oliver Harper off course i stayed, i love the editing in your videos and that you cover everything of a movie.
I love how you stay dedicated to making the retrospectives even though they dont get that high amount of views.
Keep on the great work Oliver, i know i will be looking forward to every video you will be making in the future.
P.S. -Cant wait for the Aliens retrospective, its my favorite movie of all time
+Movies4Life haha sorry i meant 'say' not stay, i was typing too fast. But thanks for your feedback buddy. Most of the big TH-camrs who have the large followers have a huge fanbase of kids and young teens and 80s & 90s movies don't really interest them plus they like reviews that are 3mins long..short attention spans i guess. But saying that I do have fans who are 16 and younger (i believe in a small capacity) and it's great to read their comments to know they enjoy classic movies and can look past dated effects etc and still appreciate them.
Oliver Harper I am 15 and i would choose Practical effects over CGI anyday.
I want to be a director later and when i do i will try to put as little CGI in a movie as possible.
And i love really long reviews, i think its better to tell everything with great visual editing to keep you entertained then a guy sitting in front of a camera talking about a film he just saw (*coughs* JeremyJahns *coughs* *coughs*)
Jesus, I don't even want to imagine the hell of a copyright you had to go through making this review. Respect.
What this movie does well is the pauses between the dialogue. It lets the tension build.
Probably the best Retro Reviewer on TH-cam, really enjoying your in-dept and enjoyable videos, most of these would feel right at home on a collectors blu ray of each movie.
Always blows me away how beautiful Sigorney was in this film.
Well, I watched Alien the first time on TV. As it happened, it was also the first time that I stayed up well past midnight for anything actually. Quite an experience at that time and age. Still one of my all-time favorite movies...
Pretty much marathoning as much of your content as is interesting and have yet to be disappointed. I can't praise you enough for your editing skills. All the openings have just enough material to remind me how much I love these films and the use of music cut in with you voice-overs have me fighting the urge to watch the films after your videos.
Wait, you do commentary?!!!! Oh boy.
I ever knew that Ridley Scott used his children as stunt doubles... LOL...
Yeah - they were the facehuggers.
Practical effects FTW!
@@jazzx251 what no way??
Marky Mark lol no dude
Alien is a masterpiece, superb special effects which have barely dated, the Nostromo looks like a well used tug. LV426 looks first class and the alien derelict ship is stunning even by todays standards. It looks and feels real, but the story and casting are fantastic. Even now 37 years later it still looks as good today, and of course the Alien creature itself still fills people with horror. I just love this film beyond anything else.
Good retrospective for one of my favorite scifi and horror movies ever and I'm damn happy my parents let me watch this and other great movies when I was a kid, it really helped form my taste in movies.
Top drawer once again Oliver. Alien has always been a favourite of mine and I can't wait for the Retrospectives of the sequels, Alien3 in particular should be most entertaining. With it's troubled production, crazy Wooden Planet origins, where the hell did the egg come from, dog / ox burster alien, amazing score by Elliot Goldenthal and Brian Glover goodness there is plenty to get stuck into. Keep up the truly excellent work young man.
+Duncan S Cheers Duncan. yeah I look forward to covering ALIENS and especially ALIEN 3.
Oliver Harper Was waiting for this one. Thank you.
Another excellent review Oliver. Alien is one of my favorite films off all time. I watch it yearly along with Aliens and Bladerunner. Great editing at the end of the video with your pseudo super trailer.
Found your channel last night and it’s awesome. Super happy I have so many videos to binge
The most visceral science fiction movie of all time.
And the ship environments still set the standard even for modern movies, so freaking cool
it's easily one of my all-time favourite films, a true masterpiece...
As someone who saw it as an adult when it first came out, I can tell you that the fact that Ripley became the main protagonist--the hero--of the film was Earth shattering at the time. Yes, it was the first time we saw a woman take command in a serious fashion in a film. We watched the film wondering which character was going to be the strong leader and hero, assuming it would be Dallas, and it was so surprising when Dallas is killed and Ripley takes over. This was not only significant for film, it was significant sociologically. Aliens is a great film because it took that female character theme from Alien and expanded it magnificently.
Alien & Aliens, two of the best horror / sci-fi ever produced. Never get tired of watching them. After that, Aliens 3 & 4 were all downhill ventures, and Prometheus a complete disaster. Thank you so much for the retrospective: it does honor to these two masterpieces.
Excellent Job as usual! I shared w my mother who loves this film and showed me it at a young age.
I do hope you will move to Scorsese's GoodFellas or Copolla's The Godfather. I notice you have not made a video on American Crime movies. That i can recall at least.
Keep up the great work!!
+Eric Satterberg I was so impressed with this review. My favorite movie always never gets old no matter how many time you see it. Thanks.
That's a great idea. As much as I love Science Fiction and horror and more 'immature' films I do love film generally, I just prefer more esoteric styles of stories.
I'd suggest you could review an older Hammer horror film to commemorate Sir Christopher Lee's passing.
I saw this movie when it came out in '79..I was 7 at the time,my sister took me to see it with her,....and I was scared shitless!!!
My all time favorite!!
The commercials and previews for this movie scared me to death as a child. I watched this alone at 13 on HBO. WTH was I thinking?!?!
John Hurt did torture better than anyone.
Veronica Cartwright was terrific. She was completely convincing as someone who is barely keeping it together.
Jerry Goldsmith is a key contributor to this movie. I can’t imagine this movie being as disturbing and terrifying without his score.
Of course, Geiger is the foundation to it all.
Your best yet Oliver. Thank you for doing this one.
+Ben Jones Thanks Ben!
I think it's awesome that that Spaceballs did that chestbuster scene with the same guy and the alien did the Hello My Baby dance, Which was funny as hell.
PERFECT!! I literally just watched this for the first time a week ago!
Nothing like this movie had ever been seen before and was truly original. I remember as a kid, I saw "Aliens" first and thought "Alien" was boring in comparison.
By the time I saw the movie I was already familiar with the chest burst scene. And there was the parody bit in Spaceballs. So even though it was still really effective it wasn't nearly as shocking as it would have been if I hadn't known about it beforehand. It was the Ash reveal that caught me off guard. Didn't see it coming at all and it seriously freaked me out, so that ended up being the standout scene for me.
Re DARK STAR: It obviously was meant as a kind of satire, semi "put-on" of space adventure tales, with that beachball monster a perfect BEM foil for the crew. Very funny and charming in many ways in its pre-punk/punky take on these sorts of films. I don't think for a second anyone thought the "alien intruder" on the ship was anything more than a joke. Good one at that!
Oliver, another great, comprehensive review. I was just surprised, and a little disappointed, that you barely touched on the "Ash" character, and how he embodied people's mistrust and paranoia about large corporate entities. That was a terrific aspect of the movie that was continued in the sequel with the "Burke" character.
I remember going to see Alien on my own when I was 23. I was truly terrified throughout but unable to look away at the same time. For a bloke that's saying something; I then had to walk home in the dark, constantly looking over my shoulder. Fantastic film.
Man your editing skills are amazing! Loved the cut at the end. I also appreciate your commentary, it's very well structured!
The fact this movie was shot in a single space proves how much writing > CGI/action. Masterpiece and yet it doesn’t have tons of fight scenes, CGI, planets etc... lotta scifi movies could learn from that setup
Alien and aliens, ghostbusters 1, 2 and afterlife and terminator 1 and 2 are masterpieces no matter how many covenants and romulus's you will never replicate originality
Veronica was mad she was stuck with being Lambert then she gives that natural reaction to the chestburster. Lol she's no Ripley.
ALIEN is like a fine wine you can say
When Rolling Stone was actually a great magazine I read about this movie, now mind you this was something like four (?) months before it's release! They even had photos of them in suits ( the pilot ship ), oh and yes, the author wrote:..' Possibly the scariest movie ever made..' well, I was intrigued.
Sitting in a theater crowded with people when the lights dimmed was mind-bending, we knew this was going to be different, what we never expected was how off- the- charts this movie was. People screamed some bolted out of the theater, it was a Grand Night.
All praise for Sir Geiger
Genius editor David Rawlings sourced and perfectly placed in Alien a lot of music Goldsmith had written for Freud.
I still wonder what it would have been like had Jon Finch not gotten sick when he was cast as Kane.
Dude was amazing as Macbeth.
Can we talk about all the obvious sexual themes in this franchise please. This is dismissed by many critics but it's a valid theme throughout.
Its amazing how something made in 1979 with a budget of £8 million, still looks better than something made in 2016 on a budget of £400 million.
My second favorite movie of all time. Only right behind Blade Runner.
I wanted to see Alien in the Theater but I was too young and the Theater would not sell me a ticket. I was unable to sneak in to the theater.
So I read the novelization by Alan Dean Foster. I would finally see the movie when it came to cable on Showtime.
I would finally see it on a Theater , in 1987 when I was in College and they showed both Alien and Aliens together.
Parker was amazing he really brought life into it. They were all amazing
this is a great retrospective and review Oliver! Alien remains to this day to be one of my favourite films of all time!
Thank you!
Yes Alien is set in space, but it’s really a psychological thriller - with the alien as the antagonist. I also love that it’s not apparent for the first hour who the protagonist is.
That Darkstar scene with the alien is one of the funniest things ever put on film. The whole movie is a blast. Everyone who has not checked it out ought to give it a try.
My favorite Alien film by far!!! Ridley Scott ruled!
This is an excellent review. Incredibly detailed, nicely edited and good voice work.
I watch this movie during 1991 I was 4yrs old, gave me a phobia an nightmares acouple yrs even my sister get her trill's scaring telling me come out at night an to look out, still 2019 and I'm still cringing in the edge of my seat I love movie grow up with me
Man... love this film. The soundtrack, the design, the acting, editing... this one is my favorite. The alien itself, imho, is the most frightening of all the films. It acts truly alien, especially in the cut footage--crabwalking, ballet posing. Just weird stuff that the sequels lacked. They became closer to animals or beasts. This first alien was almost a thinking creature, but thinking in such a way it was impossible to understand its motivations.
EDIT: Lol, my parents were pretty strict, too. I saw Aliens first, at my grandparents, who actually had HBO, and loved it. Begged my parents to rent Alien from the local video store. The chestburster scene was so graphic, Dad fast-forwarded through the worst of it, which I didn't see until I was a few years older.
It's not that your imagination is stronger than the answers in a prequel/fan fiction, it's that your imagination is completely tailored to what you want individually.
Jerry Goldsmith’s Score is honestly his best. I think Gremlins comes a very close second. Alien has a great sound.
I’m about the play the iconic switch port Alien game for her first time so I’m getting in the mood as it downloads
Save for including your gm reviews this channel is perfect!
Gotta get a good high definition version. This and Aliens, the rest, well, ...
When Brett gets hunted down... Genius scene. 'Here kitty kitty...'.
The greatest sci if horror movie of all time. Nothing even comes close. The pace, the atmosphere, the creature, absolute utter genius from start to finish.
A True ground breaker in Sci-fi. As 2001 was in impact....
Just found your channel been watching All day, good work bro
I ended up seeing all of the Alien series at a young age, as well as a number of other movies I probably shouldn't have seen as a child, but it never gave me nightmares or anything. In fact all it did was make me fascinated with the design of the creature and its life cycle, which fed into my general interest in biology and art.
Instant sub. The quality of the Video is incredible and so are all of your other Videos
I'll never forget how I first saw this amazing film. I was 12 or 13 and I was at my nans place for the weekend in Chester and I was interested in this film called Alien. I watched it and I was completely terriffied because of the atmosphere, writing, tension and not showing certain things that made that much more scary for me.
The 2 scenes that terriffied me the most were the vent scene with Dallas and when the alien killed Parker and Lambert. Lets hope that Alien Covenant is good.
31:54 those cups are from 1980´s tupperware. I had those. Damn, they would be worth serious money now.
Two of the scariest films ever made, shocking tbh. Watching them far too young, thinking no probs was a mistake Lol The terror, fear, tension, makes it pure horror, and the Aliens are frightening. Both masterpieces ahead of it's time. Iconic classics. Brilliant review 👏 👍
I think that the alien that came from the space jockey was a queen. Thats why there was a queen on lv 426
It is widely accepted that the designs for Alien were created by HR Giger. However, it has recently come to light that it was in fact HR Pufnstuf.
AVP are best avoided. THANK YOU for saying that, please put it in a loop
The perfect film. I wish the newer prequels had the same aesthetics and technology.
Not sure how it 'messed with the mythology' of Aliens, considering we knew nothing about the backstory prior to Prometheus. It is a prequel in the sense it is set before Alien, but there is obviously more to the story before it gets to that point. I think it's a good film that isn't too difficult to keep up with if you give it a chance rather than letting people tell you what to think.
It was yogurt, not milk that Ash spat out. It was horrid stuff, often going sour. He hated that sequence intensely. [from documentaries on most of the later box sets].
brilliant work m8 well done..its one of my fav anthologies from all time..great research and a detailed retrospective..you earned that subscription
35:13 what was that sound the alien made its sounds cool
Alien is a classic thriller set up in sci-fi environment. O'Bannon and Scott stole a lot from several movies, particularly from Bava's B-movie "planet of vampires".
I find it puzzling how some people prefer Aliens over Alien. Aliens is a fun, action movie. But Alien is a masterpiece.
I just thought you should have given more attention to the moments of silence in the movie, which I think is one of the greatest triumphs of it, adding sooo much to the suspense...
I was expecting him to mention, and show clips from, the trailer.
The best film ever made..Still my number one film at 46
$8m BUDGET-$104m GROSS = BLOCKBUSTER yes (then and now) but tho' $8m barely covers craft services today in 1979 it was a TREMENDOUS studio cost and risk.
Did you ever make a review of Promethues?
Alien is "old school" slow building, postponed gratification, believable. Aliens is "new school" graphic violence, instant gratification, constant action and obnoxious characters. Very different movies.
Thank you so very much for doing this retrospective. Perfectly brilliant!
As i understood this, you state that Ripley is the first female sole survivor in scifi-horror. In fact that was Nancy from Invasion of the Bodysnatchers, one year earlier (1978), played by...Veronica Cartwright! Scusi if i did get you wrong, not a native english speaker here. Edit...Listened again, lead and sole survivor is what you said so my fault.
Oliver,
I just found your channel and I am heavily impressed. Listening to your info on Alien franchise and Diehard as well. Subscribed :) great work
Τhis guy watched alien whilst about 15 whereas my father showed me Alien 4 whilst being 7 - the scene wiith the multiple ripley copy expirements would haunt me for weeks and I was unable to sleep for days. Then I decided to write a story about it - I called it " The nightmare of the Elf Street"
Unlike you, my parents let me watch what I wanted but warned me I might have nightmares after watching it. Well, no nightmares but a love for the Alien Creature that my mom got me the 18-inch toy for Christmas. I ended up with two because my brother was 2 years older and got out of play with toys so I ended up with his. But no longer have them.
Just watching this brought back chills .
Oliver, you're a really talented editor!
This is how a heroine is done.
Ripley was an awesome character who happened to be a woman, not a woman who happened to be a character.
Weaver is my favorite female actor, and maybe all around favorite movie star.
It is her face I always imagined behind the visor of Samus Aran.
You forgot to mention that the cat survives, and in fact saves Ripley's life, well sort of. (I have to say this because my cat has her claws to my throat --- The Predator LOL!)
I think Halloween (1978) did "last girl" first
maybe it is worth adding information about the Director Cut .the DC changed the movie.made Alien feel a little bit less "horror" and little bit more "action" -maybe more "Aliens" style .
Why is it "surprising" that 20th Century Fox's interest in sci-fi increased after Star Wars?
