At least i got to see Aliens opening night and then when that came to VHS i was working in a video store and pre-orderd a copy... only $89.99 at release... i watched that tape non-stop, even played it in the store most days (it was a little mom/pop place) Still have the official movie magazine and souviner book along with lots of the newer stuff (those original ones are still my favorite)
That's an awesome story! I would love to have seen Aliens in theaters....unfortunately, I was only 3 in 1986.
I do remember begging my parents to take me with them when Alien 3 came out in theaters though. They wouldn't. :(

Definitely. I one thing that sets movies like Alien, Aliens, and Predator is the fact that each and every character is memorable. We get time to know about each character, and their character traits and personalities. Somehow though, modern movies that try to do this fail miserably, which I think is one of the things that really sets those old 80's movies apart from the ones today. Which adds to the atmosphere, stories, lore, etc.
