Alien (1979)

Grab Jonesy the cat and prep the explosives because we're celebrating the 45th anniversary of Ridley Scott's Alien (1979).

This film is all about reproduction and gender (roles) from Sigourney Weaver's iconic performance as Ripley to the male rape of Kane to the evolving form of the Alien.

It's also an incredible technical feat, a take-down of capitalism, and a reason why you should never trust Ian Holm when he's dissecting.
