Alien
(1979)
In director Ridley Scott's atmospheric sci-fi thriller:
- the early scene of Nostromo crew member Kane
(John Hurt) being attacked by the 'face-hugging' alien as he explored
the alien ship - and later the attempt to surgically remove the
parasitic Alien from Kane's face, spilling an acid-like substance
- the horrifying, bloody, gory sequence revealing the
birth of the sharp-toothed baby alien from the bursting chest of
Kane and its scurrying across the floor

- the life-and-death struggle with the relentless
Alien
- the scene of the bludgeoning of Ash (Ian Holm) revealing
that he was an android/robot
- the reactivation of Ash's severed head when he warned: "You
still don't understand what you're dealing with"
- the scene of crew-member Ripley's (Sigourney Weaver)
question to "Mother" (the ship's computer) and its harsh
answer:
"Insure return of organism for analysis. All other considerations
secondary. Crew expendable"
- the Alien's head-splitting murder of crew member
Brett (Harry Dean Stanton) when he searched for the crew's cat named
Jones
- in an air shaft of the Nostromo, Dallas with
a flame-thrower was guided with the help of a tracker to try and
locate the alien - when suddenly the tracker screen showed a second
dot moving ominously straight toward him: (Navigator Lambert (Veronica
Cartwright): "Oh God, it's moving right towards you. Move! Get
out of there!"; the Alien attacked with two hands upraised when
Dallas turned and shined his light onto it - the monitor screen ended
its transmission with static and a very high-pitched whine

- and the final scene on the shuttle craft when the
sole remaining Ripley - ready for hibernation and stripped down
to mini-bikini panties and T-shirt - realized the Alien was still
onboard, and how she carefully donned a spacesuit and fought the
creature to the death by expelling it out of the airlock and incinerating
it in the ship's engine blast
