Aliens:
Ellen Ripley, Dwayne Hicks, Carter J. Burke, Bishop, Rebecca "Newt" Jorden, Hudson, Gorman, Vasquez, Apone, Frost, Crowe, Wierzbowski, Drake, Spunkmeyer, Ferro, Dietrich, the aliens, the alien Queen, and Jonesy.
Favourite scene: The getaway from alien. Tension ramped up to the max. Terrifying. With the best part being Parker and Lambert's death. Nightmare inducing, especially with all the theories of Lambert's demise.
Favourite quote: "You still don't understand what you're dealing with, do you? The 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."-Ash from aliens, the perfect way to describe the dire situation the crew are in whilst explaining the near indestructible nature of the alien. Gives me chills!

Favorite scene: The pan out when you get a look at the grandeur of the room that the space jockey body is in. It will always be an image in my mind that sells the whole movie. Epic and thought-provoking
Favorite quote: Hudson in Aliens: "Game over, man! Game over!"

Favorite scene: The Ripley's escape in Alien when the autodestruction was activated, with mother's countdown !
Favorite quote: I'm french so i don't know any quotes in english, except the 'Get away from her, you *****!", but not my favorite. I love in Aliens when they decide to launch a nuclear warhead, Ripley and Hicks : "Comme ça, on sera sûr du résultat" which might be in english "Like that, we shall be sure of the result" (not sure). :D
Happy Alien Day!

Ellen Ripley, Arthur Dallas, Joan Lambert, Samuel Brett, Gilbert Kane, Ash, Dennis Parker, Jonesy, The 8th Passenger (Face Hugger, Chestburster, and Big Chap Alien), and Dead Space Jockey (Engineer).
Aliens:
Ellen Ripley, Bishop, Dwayne Hicks, Rebecca "Newt" Jorden, Carter J. Burke, Hudson, Gorman, Vasquez, Apone, Frost, Crowe, Wierzbowski, Drake, Spunkmeyer, Ferro, Dietrich, the face huggers, chestbursters, aliens, the alien Queen, and Jonesy. (Special mention for doctors in dream sequence and lawyers in company hearing.)
Favorite scene: Discovering the inside of the derelict space craft. My first exposure to Giger's art come to life. Still creepy as hell, yet beautiful.
Favorite quote: "You still don't understand what you're dealing with, do you? The 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."-Ash. Quote from ALIEN. Not only is this the perfect explanation of the Alien, but a perfect quote for the movie. Could very well be a long tagline for the poster (Especially the last sentence).

MemberOvomorphApr-26-2016 4:02 PMALIEN characters: Ripley, Dallas, Kane, Ash, Lambert, Parker, Brett, Jonesy, the Xenomorph, the Engineer (and Mother, I guess).
ALIENS characters: Ripley, Hicks, Newt, Bishop, Hudson, Vasquez, Burke, Gorman, Apone, Drake, Frost, Ferro, Spunkmeyer, the Alien Queen, Jonesy (plus cannon fodder Dietrich, Crowe, Wierzbowski; and of course Timmy, Russ, Anne, and the glorious Al Simpson, who were given much more time in River of Pain!)
Favorite scene (ALIENS): Ripley and the Queen in the hive, making a mutual understanding, and the Queen for the first time demonstrating and establishing for the audience the hive-mind that drives the entire species, before Ripley righteously incinerates the hive. Such a significant and visually stunning scene, more or less alone setting up the foundation for the entire following book-series!
Favorite quote: At the risk of being unoriginal, it's got to be "Get away from her, you *****!" It still sends chills down my spine every time!

favorite scene: when the marines enter the hive for the first time, James Horner's score really begins to ratchet up the tension and what little you can see is so utterly (no other word for it:) ALIEN.. and you know it's just going to end really really badly. everything screams: do NOT go in there!!
