Star Wars (1977) or Alien (1979)? - Blu-ray Forum

Warm Gun · 06-17-2021, 02:31 AM

Fox continued moving ahead with Alien only after they saw the sales of Star Wars, in a time when science fiction movies weren't that popular anymore. Alien brought in some of the same artists and had a similar "used" look in places. Both went over budget. Both are considered masterpieces of their respective genres. Which is better?

as wonderful as STAR WARS is, I think that ALIEN is the better film.
