Truly great movies can leave indelible marks. It may be through an emotional connection to the story. It may be through a remarkable performance or a signature scene. But it can also be through the brilliant imagery a film can carve into your mind. That’s what this feature is all about – highlighting great images from great movies. Today we look at a James Cameron’s sci-fi classic and one of the best sequels of all-time.
So what are your thoughts on “Aliens” and which of these great images sticks with you the most?
God I love that film. Much more than Alien. Mainly because of its ensemble and how they were able to kill those aliens. Vasquez was a badass as at least she and Lt. Gorman were able to kill a bunch of them on their way out. If you’re going to die, at least take some of those bastards with you.
For me, the film belonged to Sigourney Weaver as I often felt she should’ve gotten more recognition for that performance as should’ve won the Oscar for that performance. It’s one of best film performances that I had ever seen as there’s no way anyone could get excited for that line… “GET AWAY FROM HER YOU BITCH!”
I love it! I have so much of that movie committed to memory. The characters, the story, the action…love it all!
Nice round up! I’m due for another watch of that movie. Well overdue, actually!
Thanks. I couldn’t possible count how many times I’ve seen it. It would probably embarrass me. 😂
That’s me with the movie Sideways. 🙂
It’s a great movie – spooky, suspenseful – last time I was watching it I was thinking how talented James Cameron is. I kind of think it’s too bad he got locked into making all these Avatar movies instead of a variety of action movies. (of course, that’s without knowing how those movies are going to turn out, maybe they’ll be great)
I know what you mean. I would love to see him extending his talent well beyond Avatar. But that film was his baby and he continues to be invested in making it a big franchise.
A sequel I really ought to get around to watching.
Oh definitely. It’s so good.
I love your choice of images. While a horror movie, it certainly has that action feel to it. But thankfully we get to see character development with Ripley which is amazing.
