I still hear tons about 2001 and Star Wars, many people name them among the best movies of all times, but I havn't heard about alien in years. Also, how could an alien compare with villains like The Emperor, Darth Vader, or HAL-9000? End quote. Look at movies made before Alien(1978). This was the first SF-film that had a real to life, dark feel and a cinematographic vision and style that was innovative in those days and therefore acted as a model for many other movies to come. Also its theme, although not new, has been copied alot since then. A cult movie is a movie that has a strong following and caring by cinema audiences ans critics. I don't think Alien has lost its cult status just because it doesn't seem to appeal a large public the way Star Wars does. And if it has lost some then it is still a classic. You can't judge a movie by its villain alone.

The Matrix has very much become a cult film...... You're right, Morn. I enjoyed that. But will it still be one after 10 or more years. We will have to wait and see. But I guess you're right.

Once again I was... a guest. Why don't I LOG IN!!! Alex - Who was just checking if he can make his name appear after logging in again.

I think it's all gossip. I know Peter Jackson is smarter then this. BTW, if its true and he is planning a remake then not to worry, it's just only a idea, a plan. And we all know what that means in Motion Picture land. I would rather like Williams to do something really...totally different. Perhaps "Music for chamber orchestra "or "Pieces for a string quartet". (Remember or listen to Jane Eyre: Festivity at Thornfield)

Oops, I forgot to log in.The above guest is me. Yes, I am the GUEST and always have been.

Now you are talking. One of the most intimate scores Williams ever composed and this during his golden years!!! THE ACCIDENTAL TOURIST also has that quality. I have always hoped that John would write more music like this but unfortunately....
