Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

Even if you ignore the multi-level "other" business

"Alien" qualifies as one of the best sci-fi pics ever AND one of the
best horror pics ever. How many films work extremely well in two
differing genres?

As far as it's sequels are concerned, I thought "Aliens" was a superb
film, although it could not be considered as either horror or sci-fi
(well, a little bit sci-fi). I've always thought of it as an
absolutely superb action-adventure flick, or maybe even a "western in
space". The story line was great, the acting was great, there were
multiple points when you thought the story was over only to have a new
wrinkle in the story appear - in many ways I like it more than the
original. But 3 and 4 were truly crap. I only got around to seeing
the last one about a year ago.

I've had an idea for an Alien 5 for several years, but I don't think I
could sell it ... sigh ...
