    Also- I don' think Aliem should be on the list of cult classics. It was, but had died out over the past decade.

    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.

  2. 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) ;)

  3. 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....
