Raymond Mach First of all, it looks great even today, don't forget its a movie from 1968. The plot is not the standard plot I agree. You have to see the art and the message I think... Its really a movie that you like or totally don't.
@@mirrorperson1744 , I lived through it. too, sort off. But I was too young to see Alien in the theaters and no one was able to take me. Have to watch it on VHS first and then later on DVD and by that time I knew what was going to happen....
It really is. I was too young to see it first time orund in the cinema but they did a speial showing a few years back at our local and it was just breathtaking on the big screen. The cinematography, the acting, the story, the music, everything about this film is just perfection.
I was born in 1996 but at age 14 I saw this film and despite the horror I fell in love with it, it’s a true masterpiece of cinema. The visual effects are still perfect and the slow buildup is so satisfying. To this day it remains my favourite film of all time, the opening theme is haunting and Jerry’s score is just fantastic.
I get chills every single time I fire up the game. There's something wonderfully creepy about this song, that's very dated, yes, but it gives the game a proper frame of reference.
+Ben Van Deventer Alien: Isolation shit me up. I played it in the dark with all lights off and a headset on. Never again. But 10/10 game, would recommend. I'm 36 by the way. :)
I'm still playing the DLC, trying to beat my scores. It's automatic - as soon as THIS music plays: the lights go off and the headphones go on. I can say that Alien Isolation is my favourite ever game; I'm 44 - and I love playing all of the retro classics on MAME, everything from Pong, through Street Fighter and Tekken, I grew up with the entire history of videogames. Alien has the sweaty-palminess of Asteroids and Missile Command, the terrifying maze-like chases of Pacman, but in superb 3D graphics, and the best sound I've ever heard in any game from the last 44 years. The music is only one example of the love that went into surely the greatest horror game ever made (and I can now confirm that because I just finished Outlast on "Nightmare" mode ... it's a good game, but Alien took some of the things it did and perfected them, especially the gameplay). 12341451122389 out of 10 ...

Everything about this movie was just such pure genius. The story, the characters, the acting, the effects, the editing, the music... all incredible! The older it gets, the more obvious its genius becomes. Even with all the high tech CGI effects at the disposal of film makers today, the 21st century has yet to produce a film that even scratches the surface of the greatness of Alien. Hollywood seems to have become obsessed with desperately trying to recreate the magic of past masterpieces. They produce "reboot" after "reboot". But the harder they try, the harder they flop. Sad, really. Where have all the true artists gone?
M Urschel it seems they have it abit easier than those of yesterday... With all the internet and Cgi crap ready available, the old schoolers had to roll up their sleeves and creative juices to make a story and film from scratch, with awesome results. Very few movies nowadays can even come this close in originality and true work of film making.
It's not about the technical aspects, though. Why do we not have a brand new film franchise to be excited about? Where is a brand new equivalent to Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Alien etc. An original film that captures the imagination of millions and sends them flocking to the cinema? There isn't one - and hasn't been for 20 years.
Aww the nostalgia. I'm staring out my kitchen window looking at the few stars up above. Listening to this. Sends a shiver down my spine, but in a good way. The vast emptiness of space. The unknowing. I love it!
@@TheMandalorian91 Being alone outside at 4 in the morning, pitch black, the only thing you see are the stars and you're wondering what's out there. Looking through my telescope, having that feeling, all I could hear were those notes.
The amazing thing with both this and Star Wars - was that the films were never supposed to be successful. Just sci-fi cash-ins. But the composers for both Star Wars and Alien were full-on in there - I can't see that happening today, I really can't. Those guys gave everything to what, were in all likelihood, turkeys. Look at the script for Star Wars - it's rubbish! Why would a young John Williams even try? But it happened - both Alien and Star Wars are MASTERPIECES. Two of the greatest films - and soundtracks - ever made.
Star Wars was saved in the cutting room. Lucas showed the first cut to Spielberg and De Palma and they couldn't make sense of it, utter nonsense...scary right!:)
Beautiful opening scene and music. I saw the making of the film. It was suppossed to be a deferent score, more of a romantic space opening. Ridley scott thought it should be changed to something scarier. The composer came up wirh the scary score in 15 minutes! He thought ot should be something simple and primordial. He thought everyone would hate it but everyone loved it.
1977: "Wow! - who knows what's out there in amongst the stars, we need to explore as much as we can. Mankind has no limits - there's a whole universe to discover!" 1979: "Scratch that thought - not a good idea."
Lonely, distant, dark, sinister, mysterious, desperate music. One of the greatest films ever and one of the greatest (and simplest) film scores - masterpiece!
I saw the making of the film. Jerry Goldsmith said he wrote the acore in about 15 minutes and hated it but Ridley Scott loved it. Jerry wantes to ise a more romantic theme as to not "give the terror to come all away". The opening score is terrifying.
You would think that they included this theme in Alien: Isolation only to make you think: "Oh, yeah, this is freakin Alien." But it perfectly does what it already did in 1979: to make you feel uncomfortable scared to hell.
+dave55811 ok, I'm not a composer, but I write rap... Let me tell you it's extremely common in art. Most artists hate their work (at least the ones who don't have a massive ego). When it's being crafted there is love and enthuduasm, but aoon enough you notice faults and things that you feel could sound better. Yet most of these personal gripes are part of the artistic process and are experienced solely by the creator, if, as in this case, the work is a masterpiece. When it comes to movie/music nothibg beats Alien is a masterpiece, from the theme, the creature and set designs, the actors to the direction and story.
Jerry made Another opening theme but Ridley rejected that and he wrote this instead. He was very dissapointed about it and perfered his original theme.
His relationship with Ridley was sort of stormy for mainly two reasons: - They had creative differences about how "space music" should sound. Goldsmith liked the beauty of space in the Star Trek films he made. and then it seems that Ridley wanted him to be more visual with the music. - The editor Terry Rawlings made a lot of decisions that pissed him off. He took music from other soundtracks that Goldsmith made, and left out the final credits music he composed and again took from another composer.
Alien, The Thing, and The Exorcist. Some of the greatest films ever made. Let alone be haunting as hell and with the perfect musical scores. These overproduced CGI movies today don't come close to movies like these. These movies will never be forgotten. The practical effects were outstanding, the acting and directing and production magnificent.
Yeah last April i saw this in a Cinema, it was an Alien/Aliens Double feature, by the way Are you on Xbox Live if you are gimme your gamertag we will play Halo ODST or Gears 5 !
I admire its purity. Perfect Organism....without conscience , remorse, or delusions of morality. I can't say what your chances are...you have my sympathies. ---Ash
If I was Ripley, after hearing that garbbage, I would yank his cord, stomp the living crap outta him then use his head as a hand puppet to bait the Alien from out of hiding... "Here... Have some android guts, you ugly, mothah-fuuuaaah!"
It was Shakespearean doom alright...I remember sitting there in the theater in 79 during that scene...the pain of betrayal on their faces. The one time Lambert wasn't hysterical, she said," You admire it..." That was it. You could hear a pen drop for the rest of the film.
The 70’s and 80’s saw the BEST era of film making, Alien, Jaws, Start Trek all filmed with awesome OST and proper full size models not CGI that just looks ‘plastic’. I adore the original Alien movie as the suspense was so thick you could cut it with a Laser! Goldsmith’s score is simple spine tingle horrific nightmares, that we all had ( still have) after seeing this movie the first time as that scary music open the title spelling out A. L. I. E. N........be afraid, be VERY afraid........
This is definitely one of the creepier pieces of music ever composed specifically for film...but at least in my opinion, it's far from being the creepiest piece of music recorded. The soundtrack from Stanley Kubrick's "The Shining" -- mostly made up of modern classical pieces not specifically composed for the film -- and a couple of the pieces which Kubrick used for "2001: A Space Odyssey" (specifically "Atmospheres" and "Lux Aeterna") beat it hands down. Honorable mention goes to "Invisible Connections" by Vangelis, an experimental piece which was not composed for or used in film but which I think most people would experience as creepy. (That said, I don't experience it that way although there's no denying that it's an unusual piece -- I experience it as being almost psychedelic.)
Alien has stood the test of time. So few movies can come close to what this film presented in horror and atmosphere, and the new Alien movies certainly aren't in the same ballpark. It's literally a classic monster movie done brilliantly.
@Petr Obořil It's a good movie but that's mostly because it's based on a good book. Ridley never lost his sense for visuals and atmosphere but when he has no source (like The Martian book) he tends to mess up. Prometheus and its sequel Alien Covenant has the visuals and the atmosphere just like Alien but the characters all behave like they're braindead. And yeah one could blame the writer but at the end of the day, Ridley approved it.
My favorite horror movie yet. No signal, unable to contact other humans for help, in the middle of outer space where calling for help or running away from problems isn't a choice, a near perfect carnivore organism chasing you and multiplying along the way, the lack of knowledge to survive and low recourses. All these factors help make this the most scary horror movie scenario ever.
I'm going to argue and say that Blade Runner is the best sci fi of all time. Anyway to this day I still can't get my head around the fact that a single man made two absolute scifi masterpieces.
Danged if that isn't one of the creepiest openings I can ever remember. When I was watching this in the theater in 1979, it got the scene set from what I was thinking was going to be just a b movie sci fi adventure, and feeling like I was going to see a ghost movie, and in fact scared me to bits. Great to hear this again.
+William Curry I'm not sure whether to envy you or not! When I first saw this, I was flicking through the channels and thought I had stumbled across a very well made Star Trek kind of thing. Three spacemen were exploring a barren planet and came across a mysterious ship, then they found some eggs and then .... TERROR!!! I was totally unprepared for watching the most horrific sci-fi film of all time! And it never let up ... I was rooted to the sofa in shock and wild-eyed revulsion/amazement for the whole of the rest of the movie! I consider myself extremely lucky that I never knew I was watching a horror, until - like the crew members - I was caught completely unawares! I may not have seen it when it came out on the big screen (I was only 7) - but I wouldn't trade in my first experience of watching Alien for even that.
When you saw it in theaters in 1979, did you see some people crawl out of the theater from how horrific the first ever chest bursting scene played out? I just remember seeing the documentary on the making of Alien.
The beginning of this film has the scariest, most terrifying sound I've ever heard.. it kind of makes the blood in my vains freeze. Jerry Goldsmith was a genius, his soundtrack was perfect for this movie.
@@silverlink1191 I don't third this (lol). I think one of the best but not actually the best (the best are: Alien, Psycho, Jaws is classic but not the best, The Thing, Requiem for a dream is not very a horror, Videodrome is good but not that good, the best horror of the 21st century is probably The VVitch and Babadook). But I'm glad that you're the kind of people that don't think this film is boring or smth (just like 90% of my classmates), instead really approciate the movie's values. Today's slasher shits are not even in one league with Alien and Aliens (but more likely Alien), cuz while Alien is in the A++ league (or I can say 9.5/10 maybe), the jumpscare filled disgusting horrors (not cuz those are so disturbing but they're so childish and cheap and poor and..) of nowadays are in the D and E league..
I third this, though I think that if you are not into space as a setting but rather the earth, The Thing is equally as good. On the other hand it’s a hell of a task to make a spaceship/space itself scary because it was just such an unknown field back then in 1979. The great thing about both films is that the setting enhances the horror. You have no escape from the Thing in the cold Arctic and neither do you have that in a claustrophobic Spaceship where the Alien already makes itself at home in the Ventilation.
He actually might have been nominated for it (the score was nominated for a Golden Globe) but it’s been said he didn’t even want it submitted and fought against it because he hated the experience of working with Ridley Scott so much. Alien is brilliant and Star Trek The Motion Picture is moreso (written the same year as Alien) and that’s the score that should have gotten the Oscar that year.
I love this theme, I love how prominent, but also how distant and tense those fast violin plucking sounds are, and the sound of the heartbeat is a truly haunting touch. I also love the echoing noises, those are cool.
That is, until we master the arts of space travel and we actually do find a desolate moon in the Zeta Reticuli. And eerily enough, there happens to be an abandoned derelict...
I saw: "Alien" at the cinema last year. They re-released it for a week, given it's 40th. anniversary in Mexico (1980-2020), and GOD, was it breathtaking. I've seen the film numerous times throughout the years, but had never experienced the true horror and suspense of watching it on the big screen, as people did in 1979. This intro, the chestburster, the ventilation shaft, and most surprisingly, Lambert and Parker's demise. WOW. This is by far my favorite film ever.
Its mine too. The excitement came from the music and the fact you didn't see the Alien for most of the film - it was something unknown tracking you're every move.. Once I knew it was a latex rubbery thing I wasn't scared at all. One episode of Dr Who did something similar and that scared the life out of me in a similar way.
@Harri927 cool anyway there are three horror movies that are my favorite of all time The Thing (1982) directed by John Carpenter and Alien (1979) directed by Ridley Scott and The Shining (1980) directed by Stanley Kubrick because all three of them are all about isolation and I consider all three of them the greatest horror movies ever created as well:).
Something about Alien gives me a feeling that I love and I only ever get it from Alien. It was incredible being able to feel it again playing Alien Isolation as well as listening to this again.
For some odd reason I actually thought it was going to be just like Star Wars when I first saw this movie in 1979. So, I go a big bowl of popcorn and plant myself right in the front row seating. It started okay and I should have known better by this haunting soundtrack I wasn't on Hoth. Let me say I screamed, jumped out of my chair and hand nightmares for several weeks. Then I took some of my friends and had them sit right where I did while I sat several rows back and watched them shit their pants! OMFG this was so great of a movie!!
I used to have a 10-hour loop of this song on my ipod and I would just play it all night while i slept. sometimes it made my dreams really crazy i think
What's even more funny? Star Wars IV and Close Encounters of the Third Kind were composed on the same year and Star Trek The Motion Picture and Alien were also made on the same year just two years later. The prior two were composed with a rousing bombastic march for space sci-fi/fantasy while the latter two were made with a more solemn and serious mode for contact with outer space beings.
Whats interesting, is that the composer Jerry Goldsmith hated this track. He did NOT like all the ambient and mysiticm to the music. He wanted big orchestra's, trumpets etc. No wonder, it was, what he was used to creating. However, the rest of use, LOVE the OST of Alien, this track, is purely a masterpiece if u ask me. Fits the movie PERFECT.
Bring back lifeform. Priority one. All other priorities rescinded. You still don't understand what you're dealing with do you? Perfect organism. Its structural perfection is matched only by its hostility. I admire its purity. A survivor. Unclouded by conscience, remorse or delusions of morality. Last word. I can't lie to you about your chances. But... you have my sympathies."
I love the sound design for this movie. The heart beat sounds! Terrifying and brilliant. I think, in the long run, Alien will stand with Star Wars - released only a few years before - as the two towering Sci-Fi films of the 20th century.
+Flafinii Kills SOMA is not a movie like the others, it's a videogame developed by Frictional Games from Sweden. The same people who created the masterpiece "Amnesia: The Dark Descent" and "Penumbra" franchise. SOMA is such a powerful sci-fi story that you won't experience in any other media. Scientific depths of human intelligence, what it means to be human and to have a mind. SOMA goes very deep into psychological aspects about existential questions that everyone should encourage us to think about. And I can tell you that everything got designed very professional and thoughtful in the world and the 15-hours long story that enriched me up with a completely unique experience. This game is incredible well designed. Beautiful and disturbing at same time. It's not a conventional horror game about "fun" or to "win". Core of the plot is this serious issue on our brains and advanced technology between human and robots. The little developer from Sweden created a revolution of the sci-fi genre, which took 5 years of really hard development. Unlike most other horror games, SOMA is not a ghost train which scare us at predetermined points with jump scares to death. Instead, the sci-fi-horror adventure relies on his masterly atmosphere, its incredibly high-level storytelling inspired by HP Lovecraft (that's for what the engine name HPL3 stands for). Who opposes skeptical to horror games will miss with SOMA one of the best narratives of all time.
IMO Interstellar gained popularity because of Dark Knight People had "Dark Knight classes" when watching Dark Knight Rises, Inception and Interstellar. When Dunkirk was released, people already had forgotten Dark Knight classes and bashed the movie
I'm in the middle of playing the pc version of Alien Isolation, which as it turns out has proven to be a fantastic huge nod to the original ridley scott Alien. Love the music for the original alien, glad i picked up all the films on bluray now.. always a sucker for a decent sci-fi especially his.
Goldsmith pretty much hated this version of the opening titles. If anyone has the original produced soundtrack they'll notice and be disappointed this version is not on it but instead his preferred version. Ridley however wanted something more atonal and different and pretty much forced Goldsmith to redo it, which he did and to him he said it was nothing but a bunch of noise, lol. I and everyone else it seems LOVE this however and rank it as one of the all time great opening title cues. It sets the stage perfectly for the film.
Vislav Let's see, they are running from an alien that kills them yet hunt and want to kill YOU like you are satan himself. Second, the fact that there is no way to see where the hell they are or are they going or looking. I get that it is "realistic" but it is not FUN. Also the fact YOU cannot pick up a gun and just take'em out is frustrating.
I cant to not asociate this ost with deep space , i imagine space is exactly like this , in this fashion that the sound track drscribes it and the emotion you feel listening to it
I know that I'm going to sound like a geezer..., but the theme music from movies made in the 60's&70's on a whole is just remarkable! Exodus, Midnight Cowboy, The Godfather, and this one! Stand the test of time well...,
***** LOL!Well yes the Exorcist theme music "Tubular Bells"was a hit back then on underground FM radio...,but I thought the movie wasn't near as scary as the book...,pea soup anyone?
@StyrbjornStarke my friend hello anyway Alien (1979) and The Thing (1982) I saw both of these amazing sci-fi horror movies as a little kid in the 1990s and I consider both of them the greatest sci-fi horror movies ever created as well:).
The tone at the two-minute mark is beyond frightening. I can't imagine how terrifying it would be to roam through the corridors of the station while your crew gets picked off one by one. Creepy.
Love the film main title and the album version of the main title both by the late great Jerry goldsmith,my second all time favorite film composer!!! All the classic big-time scores that he composed are nothing short of being simply amazing and this magnificent score is definitely that!!! Alot of blazing themes from this tremendous score and a score that to this day i never ceased to be amazed by!!! Jerry put together a ingenious and masterful piece for the Alien score that i can listen to over and over and over again!!!
Very interesting to hear that the great Jerry goldsmith didn't like the film version of this main theme all that well as he revealed in a very indepth interview. I loved it like alot of other people did. Of course he originally wrote a much more romantic piece for the main title but apparently the director wanted a more dark theme reflecting his movie. I love the original main theme as well but amazing how Jerry was able to go back and rewrite a main theme that was equally as memorable as his original piece. Great job by Jerry on this soundtrack!!! Alien is one of his most amazing and exhilarating pieces of work, this soundtrack is one of the alltime greats of all film music.
@louisberry4403 cool anyway Alien (1979) and The Shining (1980) and The Thing (1982) I consider the three of them the greatest horror movies ever created because all three of them are all about isolation as well:).
I, and a bunch of friends went to see this film at the Odean Leicester Square for a late night showing. In those days there was hardly anyone else there. That music and the title sequence on one of the biggest screens in London was freaking awesome, and totally freaked me out.. Genius!
You are getting close to Alien planet and you are not knowing it yet. Your rescue capsule is landing on an unrecognizable planet and you think you escaped death, for a moment.
Glad to see the filmmakers of this classic movie had perfect taste for film music by assigning forever legend Jerry goldsmith to score it. This film version of the main title is a beautiful and cool portrait of space. Musically opens the movie perfectly! Love the weird noises that Jerry composed along with the orchestra that dynamically made this wonderful music cue!!!!
"It's a computer game ... but I've never seen anything like it before. The structural perfection of the music is matched only by the graphics, even on low end systems" ELLEN: "So how do we kill it?" "You can't - it is one of the best computer games ever made. I can't lie to you about your chances - but you have my sympathies :))"
Best thiller movie and soundtrack ever. I was a child when I saw in the cinema and until today is one of my favorites. Your scream wont´t be hear in space.

Raymond Mach quite, the theatrical release is: "In space, no one can hear you scream."
odiemodie1 Thanks for the correction, I didn't want to look like an idiot, hahaha.
"In space, no one can hear you scream." - "In the yauja [predator] homeworld, everyone can hear you scream." :D
Agreed. I also like the tag line from The Fly : Be afraid. Be VERY Afraid. Straight to the point. Awesome.
Amen...
This movie seriously made me feel like I was billions of light years away from planet earth.
If you haven't, watch 2001: A Space Odyssey, it did the same for me atleast. Might be a weird movie for most though.

Best part period
I'm agree with you 👍
1:17 That chord is insane. It's the whole tone scale harmonised in a series of stacked minor 7ths. It's called the "Alien chord".
Yes its a very unsettling chord. Reminds me of the "mystic" chord Scriabin used in his later works like Prometheus and Mysterium.
Beautiful opening scene and music. I saw the making of the film. It was suppossed to be a deferent score, more of a romantic space opening. Ridley scott thought it should be changed to something scarier. The composer came up wirh the scary score in 15 minutes! He thought ot should be something simple and primordial. He thought everyone would hate it but everyone loved it.
7ths always provide a good edge if used correctly 👍🏼
Right? The absolute dread that's somehow audibly conveyed is amazing. Just feels like there is no hope.
1977: "Wow! - who knows what's out there in amongst the stars, we need to explore as much as we can. Mankind has no limits - there's a whole universe to discover!"
1979: "Scratch that thought - not a good idea."
XD
LOL So True!
Star Wars showed us that space could be a magical, vast place. Alien reminded us just how horrifying it could be.
+Sable Branwen And I think Alien is the most accurate, space really is a unforgiven horrific place to say the least.
+Dimitri Petrenko you can get sucked into the vaccum of space
2:35 gives me chills every time!
Yo Dwight how is your beet farm going?
Lonely, distant, dark, sinister, mysterious, desperate music. One of the greatest films ever and one of the greatest (and simplest) film scores - masterpiece!
I saw the making of the film. Jerry Goldsmith said he wrote the acore in about 15 minutes and hated it but Ridley Scott loved it. Jerry wantes to ise a more romantic theme as to not "give the terror to come all away". The opening score is terrifying.
Equal parts dread, beauty and mystery. Couldn't ask for a more fitting theme.
of course you couldn't ask bro, you weren't in the production
My son watched this movie with me. Half way through, I told him it was made in 1979. He could not believe it.
Walked out of a Philadelphia theater on a bright, sunny day in 1979, and thought, "Maybe we'd better not go out there!"
1977 - Let´s go!
1979 - Hell no!
Whatever you do, don't you dare ever go to that planet.

You would think that they included this theme in Alien: Isolation only to make you think: "Oh, yeah, this is freakin Alien."
But it perfectly does what it already did in 1979: to make you feel uncomfortable scared to hell.

I heard Jerry Goldsmith didn't like this piece that he made. I don't understand why. This is one of his greatest works.
+dave55811 ok, I'm not a composer, but I write rap...
Let me tell you it's extremely common in art.
Most artists hate their work (at least the ones who don't have a massive ego).
When it's being crafted there is love and enthuduasm, but aoon enough you notice faults and things that you feel could sound better.
Yet most of these personal gripes are part of the artistic process and are experienced solely by the creator, if, as in this case, the work is a masterpiece.
When it comes to movie/music nothibg beats Alien is a masterpiece, from the theme, the creature and set designs, the actors to the direction and story.
It probably isn't his style, if you listen to all of his other soundtracks, they are more energetic.
>Sometimes people make things that they end up not liking,
>yet others really enjoy
ALIEN 3
Jerry made Another opening theme but Ridley rejected that and he wrote this instead. He was very dissapointed about it and perfered his original theme.
His relationship with Ridley was sort of stormy for mainly two reasons:
- They had creative differences about how "space music" should sound. Goldsmith liked the beauty of space in the Star Trek films he made. and then it seems that Ridley wanted him to be more visual with the music.
- The editor Terry Rawlings made a lot of decisions that pissed him off. He took music from other soundtracks that Goldsmith made, and left out the final credits music he composed and again took from another composer.
From the very start of this film, a feeling of dread begins to build.
That music is just horrific. Very well done.
Alien, The Thing, and The Exorcist. Some of the greatest films ever made. Let alone be haunting as hell and with the perfect musical scores. These overproduced CGI movies today don't come close to movies like these. These movies will never be forgotten. The practical effects were outstanding, the acting and directing and production magnificent.
Sullen Sam agreed
This is one of those movies of which are just utterly fantastic watching in a cinema particularly!
Yeah last April i saw this in a Cinema, it was an Alien/Aliens Double feature, by the way Are you on Xbox Live if you are gimme your gamertag we will play Halo ODST or Gears 5 !
Just saw this movie for the first time. Opening gave me chills. Horror done right!
I admire its purity. Perfect Organism....without conscience , remorse, or delusions of morality. I can't say what your chances are...you have my sympathies. ---Ash
shihanUKS right - brett
shihanUKS that line made the movie for me. From there I knew that this movie completely stands up to its hype. A freaking masterpiece.
If I was Ripley, after hearing that garbbage, I would yank his cord, stomp the living crap outta him then use his head as a hand puppet to bait the Alien from out of hiding... "Here... Have some android guts, you ugly, mothah-fuuuaaah!"
Hmm....intelligent.
It was Shakespearean doom alright...I remember sitting there in the theater in 79 during that scene...the pain of betrayal on their faces. The one time Lambert wasn't hysterical, she said," You admire it..." That was it. You could hear a pen drop for the rest of the film.
The 70’s and 80’s saw the BEST era of film making, Alien, Jaws, Start Trek all filmed with awesome OST and proper full size models not CGI that just looks ‘plastic’. I adore the original Alien movie as the suspense was so thick you could cut it with a Laser! Goldsmith’s score is simple spine tingle horrific nightmares, that we all had ( still have) after seeing this movie the first time as that scary music open the title spelling out A. L. I. E. N........be afraid, be VERY afraid........
Some of the loneliest, creepiest music ever recorded. A perfect minimalistic match for this genius of a film.
This is definitely one of the creepier pieces of music ever composed specifically for film...but at least in my opinion, it's far from being the creepiest piece of music recorded. The soundtrack from Stanley Kubrick's "The Shining" -- mostly made up of modern classical pieces not specifically composed for the film -- and a couple of the pieces which Kubrick used for "2001: A Space Odyssey" (specifically "Atmospheres" and "Lux Aeterna") beat it hands down. Honorable mention goes to "Invisible Connections" by Vangelis, an experimental piece which was not composed for or used in film but which I think most people would experience as creepy. (That said, I don't experience it that way although there's no denying that it's an unusual piece -- I experience it as being almost psychedelic.)
Alien has stood the test of time. So few movies can come close to what this film presented in horror and atmosphere, and the new Alien movies certainly aren't in the same ballpark. It's literally a classic monster movie done brilliantly.
Back when Ridley was at his prime.
@Petr Obořil yeah, it's a gem. Also, nice necro.
@Petr Obořil It's a good movie but that's mostly because it's based on a good book.
Ridley never lost his sense for visuals and atmosphere but when he has no source (like The Martian book) he tends to mess up.
Prometheus and its sequel Alien Covenant has the visuals and the atmosphere just like Alien but the characters all behave like they're braindead. And yeah one could blame the writer but at the end of the day, Ridley approved it.
@Petr Obořil movie's below average tbh.

My favorite horror movie yet. No signal, unable to contact other humans for help, in the middle of outer space where calling for help or running away from problems isn't a choice, a near perfect carnivore organism chasing you and multiplying along the way, the lack of knowledge to survive and low recourses. All these factors help make this the most scary horror movie scenario ever.
The best music that describes the unknown of space, which is very frightening to the point of goosebumps. It's a work of art.
Still, without doubt.. the best sci fi film of all time.
The music gives me the chills
I'm going to argue and say that Blade Runner is the best sci fi of all time. Anyway to this day I still can't get my head around the fact that a single man made two absolute scifi masterpieces.
I agree !
Danged if that isn't one of the creepiest openings I can ever remember. When I was watching this in the theater in 1979, it got the scene set from what I was thinking was going to be just a b movie sci fi adventure, and feeling like I was going to see a ghost movie, and in fact scared me to bits. Great to hear this again.
+William Curry
I'm not sure whether to envy you or not!
When I first saw this, I was flicking through the channels and thought I had stumbled across a very well made Star Trek kind of thing. Three spacemen were exploring a barren planet and came across a mysterious ship, then they found some eggs and then .... TERROR!!!
I was totally unprepared for watching the most horrific sci-fi film of all time! And it never let up ... I was rooted to the sofa in shock and wild-eyed revulsion/amazement for the whole of the rest of the movie!
I consider myself extremely lucky that I never knew I was watching a horror, until - like the crew members - I was caught completely unawares!
I may not have seen it when it came out on the big screen (I was only 7) - but I wouldn't trade in my first experience of watching Alien for even that.
When you saw it in theaters in 1979, did you see some people crawl out of the theater from how horrific the first ever chest bursting scene played out? I just remember seeing the documentary on the making of Alien.
The beginning of this film has the scariest, most terrifying sound I've ever heard.. it kind of makes the blood in my vains freeze. Jerry Goldsmith was a genius, his soundtrack was perfect for this movie.
The best horror movie ever created.
I agree Sable
I second this
@@silverlink1191 I don't third this (lol). I think one of the best but not actually the best (the best are: Alien, Psycho, Jaws is classic but not the best, The Thing, Requiem for a dream is not very a horror, Videodrome is good but not that good, the best horror of the 21st century is probably The VVitch and Babadook). But I'm glad that you're the kind of people that don't think this film is boring or smth (just like 90% of my classmates), instead really approciate the movie's values. Today's slasher shits are not even in one league with Alien and Aliens (but more likely Alien), cuz while Alien is in the A++ league (or I can say 9.5/10 maybe), the jumpscare filled disgusting horrors (not cuz those are so disturbing but they're so childish and cheap and poor and..) of nowadays are in the D and E league..
I third this, though I think that if you are not into space as a setting but rather the earth, The Thing is equally as good. On the other hand it’s a hell of a task to make a spaceship/space itself scary because it was just such an unknown field back then in 1979. The great thing about both films is that the setting enhances the horror. You have no escape from the Thing in the cold Arctic and neither do you have that in a claustrophobic Spaceship where the Alien already makes itself at home in the Ventilation.
@@Tmtrnr22 Man you literally typed what I always thought! Both The Thing and Alien are masterpieces... But I'll always love alien the most
Jerry Goldsmith should have had an Oscar for the music of Alien.
He actually might have been nominated for it (the score was nominated for a Golden Globe) but it’s been said he didn’t even want it submitted and fought against it because he hated the experience of working with Ridley Scott so much. Alien is brilliant and Star Trek The Motion Picture is moreso (written the same year as Alien) and that’s the score that should have gotten the Oscar that year.
I love this theme, I love how prominent, but also how distant and tense those fast violin plucking sounds are, and the sound of the heartbeat is a truly haunting touch. I also love the echoing noises, those are cool.
Remember, kids! Don't go poking the weird ass eggs in a weird ass spaceship. Or you might face a Xeno!
LOL So True!
Ha! Face get it?
Armyequalswar 1944 im bursting with laughter
so many puns here rofl
Face it, man... That was scary...
this music gives me the feel of being far away from earth in a distant galaxy. so chilling....
This music does give a feeling of being in the vast expanse of deep space all alone - no one is going home 😕. Intense.
This movie did for xenomorphs what Jaws did for sharks
That's not exactly a decent thought, because Xenomorph's don't exist, unlike sharks. It would make sense if you Space instead.
That is, until we master the arts of space travel and we actually do find a desolate moon in the Zeta Reticuli. And eerily enough, there happens to be an abandoned derelict...
Or we find a derelict on Proxima Centauri B
Sharks didn't exist before Jaws

Einer der besten Filme, die es gibt!
Daniel Evers aber hallo ! der beste sci fi + horror film aller zeiten und bis heute auf platz 1 meiner lieblingsfilme !
I saw: "Alien" at the cinema last year. They re-released it for a week, given it's 40th. anniversary in Mexico (1980-2020), and GOD, was it breathtaking. I've seen the film numerous times throughout the years, but had never experienced the true horror and suspense of watching it on the big screen, as people did in 1979.
This intro, the chestburster, the ventilation shaft, and most surprisingly, Lambert and Parker's demise. WOW.
This is by far my favorite film ever.
I stare at the stars at night while listening to this. It's atmospheric af.
Hello where are you from?
This is my favorite horror movie of all time.
Its mine too. The excitement came from the music and the fact you didn't see the Alien for most of the film - it was something unknown tracking you're every move.. Once I knew it was a latex rubbery thing I wasn't scared at all. One episode of Dr Who did something similar and that scared the life out of me in a similar way.
@Harri927 cool anyway there are three horror movies that are my favorite of all time The Thing (1982) directed by John Carpenter and Alien (1979) directed by Ridley Scott and The Shining (1980) directed by Stanley Kubrick because all three of them are all about isolation and I consider all three of them the greatest horror movies ever created as well:).
Something about Alien gives me a feeling that I love and I only ever get it from Alien. It was incredible being able to feel it again playing Alien Isolation as well as listening to this again.

A masterpiece from a true genius of movie music! R. I. P Mr. Goldsmith
Great sound.... 🤔🎶🎶🎶
This theme physically gives me the chills, it’s perfect.
For some odd reason I actually thought it was going to be just like Star Wars when I first saw this movie in 1979. So, I go a big bowl of popcorn and plant myself right in the front row seating. It started okay and I should have known better by this haunting soundtrack I wasn't on Hoth. Let me say I screamed, jumped out of my chair and hand nightmares for several weeks. Then I took some of my friends and had them sit right where I did while I sat several rows back and watched them shit their pants! OMFG this was so great of a movie!!
The best horror Movie Theme
+maxigun101 No. Definitely not.
The best horror movie theme is The Omen (Jerry Goldsmith, too)
@@juanucedaperez9614 The thing
With out a shadow of a doubt .Sticks in you mind for life.
@Garden Gremlin I agree - Fantastic, sinister music
I used to have a 10-hour loop of this song on my ipod and I would just play it all night while i slept. sometimes it made my dreams really crazy i think
This just makes me feel cold and alone deep in dark empty outer space where no one can hear me, nothing but a scary void, powerful stuff
I fell in love with this movie the first time I saw it, & I have been a HUGE fan ever since ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
My favorite science fiction film. Love the soundtrack.
Always funny that Star Wars Episode IV and Alien are exactly two years apart and are so incredibly different approaches to space sci-fi.
True... but let's not forget that one is essentially an adventure fantasy (in a space / sci-fi setting) and the other is a horror...
What's even more funny? Star Wars IV and Close Encounters of the Third Kind were composed on the same year and Star Trek The Motion Picture and Alien were also made on the same year just two years later. The prior two were composed with a rousing bombastic march for space sci-fi/fantasy while the latter two were made with a more solemn and serious mode for contact with outer space beings.
This scares me more than a horror movie. This increases my fear and interest in space.
Whats interesting, is that the composer Jerry Goldsmith hated this track. He did NOT like all the ambient and mysiticm to the music. He wanted big orchestra's, trumpets etc. No wonder, it was, what he was used to creating. However, the rest of use, LOVE the OST of Alien, this track, is purely a masterpiece if u ask me. Fits the movie PERFECT.
The most evil, badass sound theme for the sci-fi movie ever!
One of the finest pieces of filmmaking EVER! Score just as good!
"Thing's got one heck of a defense mechanism." "You don't dare kill it."

I love the sound design for this movie. The heart beat sounds! Terrifying and brilliant. I think, in the long run, Alien will stand with Star Wars - released only a few years before - as the two towering Sci-Fi films of the 20th century.
The them perfectly expresses the vastness of space. And that there could be things out there that we really don't want to meet.
The best Sci-Fi experiences of all time:
1. SOMA
2. INTERSTELLAR
3. ALIEN (1979)
+Flafinii Kills SOMA is not a movie like the others, it's a videogame developed by Frictional Games from Sweden. The same people who created the masterpiece "Amnesia: The Dark Descent" and "Penumbra" franchise.
SOMA is such a powerful sci-fi story that you won't experience in any other media. Scientific depths of human intelligence, what it means to be human and to have a mind. SOMA goes very deep into psychological aspects about existential questions that everyone should encourage us to think about. And I can tell you that everything got designed very professional and thoughtful in the world and the 15-hours long story that enriched me up with a completely unique experience. This game is incredible well designed. Beautiful and disturbing at same time. It's not a conventional horror game about "fun" or to "win". Core of the plot is this serious issue on our brains and advanced technology between human and robots. The little developer from Sweden created a revolution of the sci-fi genre, which took 5 years of really hard development. Unlike most other horror games, SOMA is not a ghost train which scare us at predetermined points with jump scares to death. Instead, the sci-fi-horror adventure relies on his masterly atmosphere, its incredibly high-level storytelling inspired by HP Lovecraft (that's for what the engine name HPL3 stands for). Who opposes skeptical to horror games will miss with SOMA one of the best narratives of all time.
IMO Interstellar gained popularity because of Dark Knight
People had "Dark Knight classes" when watching Dark Knight Rises, Inception and Interstellar. When Dunkirk was released, people already had forgotten Dark Knight classes and bashed the movie
I'm in the middle of playing the pc version of Alien Isolation, which as it turns out has proven to be a fantastic huge nod to the original ridley scott Alien. Love the music for the original alien, glad i picked up all the films on bluray now.. always a sucker for a decent sci-fi especially his.
Goldsmith pretty much hated this version of the opening titles. If anyone has the original produced soundtrack they'll notice and be disappointed this version is not on it but instead his preferred version. Ridley however wanted something more atonal and different and pretty much forced Goldsmith to redo it, which he did and to him he said it was nothing but a bunch of noise, lol. I and everyone else it seems LOVE this however and rank it as one of the all time great opening title cues. It sets the stage perfectly for the film.

Let's see, they are running from an alien that kills them yet hunt and want to kill YOU like you are satan himself.
Second, the fact that there is no way to see where the hell they are or are they going or looking. I get that it is "realistic" but it is not FUN.
Also the fact YOU cannot pick up a gun and just take'em out is frustrating.
This is timeless and could be used in almost any film of the genre.

@StyrbjornStarke my friend hello anyway Alien (1979) and The Thing (1982) I saw both of these amazing sci-fi horror movies as a little kid in the 1990s and I consider both of them the greatest sci-fi horror movies ever created as well:).
i cannot forget me and mom watching together,,,,,,,, unforgettable moment
In space, no one can hear you scream.
The tone at the two-minute mark is beyond frightening. I can't imagine how terrifying it would be to roam through the corridors of the station while your crew gets picked off one by one. Creepy.
Amazing opening music, never fails to give me goosebumps!
Love the film main title and the album version of the main title both by the late great Jerry goldsmith,my second all time favorite film composer!!! All the classic big-time scores that he composed are nothing short of being simply amazing and this magnificent score is definitely that!!! Alot of blazing themes from this tremendous score and a score that to this day i never ceased to be amazed by!!! Jerry put together a ingenious and masterful piece for the Alien score that i can listen to over and over and over again!!!
This song does not scare me.
I think it's more relaxing.
Agree,it's a beautiful musical masterpiece more than anything!
Very interesting to hear that the great Jerry goldsmith didn't like the film version of this main theme all that well as he revealed in a very indepth interview. I loved it like alot of other people did. Of course he originally wrote a much more romantic piece for the main title but apparently the director wanted a more dark theme reflecting his movie. I love the original main theme as well but amazing how Jerry was able to go back and rewrite a main theme that was equally as memorable as his original piece. Great job by Jerry on this soundtrack!!! Alien is one of his most amazing and exhilarating pieces of work, this soundtrack is one of the alltime greats of all film music.

I, and a bunch of friends went to see this film at the Odean Leicester Square for a late night showing. In those days there was hardly anyone else there. That music and the title sequence on one of the biggest screens in London was freaking awesome, and totally freaked me out.. Genius!
The music starting at 2:18 made me feel like I'm venturing into beyond the known universe.
You are getting close to Alien planet and you are not knowing it yet. Your rescue capsule is landing on an unrecognizable planet and you think you escaped death, for a moment.
Glad to see the filmmakers of this classic movie had perfect taste for film music by assigning forever legend Jerry goldsmith to score it. This film version of the main title is a beautiful and cool portrait of space. Musically opens the movie perfectly! Love the weird noises that Jerry composed along with the orchestra that dynamically made this wonderful music cue!!!!
