This Memory is looking a little short on nostalgia! Have you got anything you could add?

"In space no one can hear you scream...". Terrifying sci-fi film starring Sigourney Weaver as Ripley who battles against evil alien parasites on board the deep space mining ship Nostromo.

    Unfortunately I've never seen the original, though have seen all the sequels. I also recall a spoof sketch that involved all the crew members of the 'Nostromo' chasing after the Alien, who was making off on a bicycle!!

    This is one of the second horror films I have seen, the first was Carry on screaming which is a bit tame. My sister had a nightmare the alien was under her bed.

    I remember Alien as the scariest film I ever saw. The cinema was so cold which made a perfect backdrop for the alien planet. I shivered all the way through except in the spaceship where I relaxed only to be frightened to death when the creature emerged from John Hurt's chest. The film was so well made and the heroine was so unexpected - just brilliant.

Do you remember these?
