    In my opinion of course :o

    But god damn, it's just a thrill ride throughout... and I have already seen it a million times since I was young... absolute classic. It holds a dubious distinction of being better then the first! Although the first movie was a classic :)

    I don't know if I'd say best movie ever, but definitely in my top 5 (Predator, The Running Man, Wall Street, Aliens and of course... Die Hard).

    Complete departure from the first film but all the better for it imo. So many quotable lines and memorable characters

    Exorcist for me, still the only movie that remotely scared me and still does to this day, Every time I watch it I go to bed and expect it to levitate off the ground, scares the living **** outta me still. Powerful.

    Jaws.

    Pulp Fiction.

    Godfather.

    Usual Suspects.

    Shawshank.

    Goodfellas.

    Plenty of other contenders but it be far too hard to choose the best.

    It's decent but it's no Outlaw Josey Wales.

    Aliens is fabulous.

    But Alien is better. The tension and atmosphere is something else.

    The Terminator and Terminator 2 for me. Both of course were made by James Cameron as well.

    Ripley, she's not scared because she's made of plastic.

    What a kid. Newt ftw. What they did at the start of Alien3 was cheap and wasn't right.
