I did. Not that I thought you were going to slaughter it in the first round by putting it up against the first one. People tell me they don't like it. Then I make them watch the Director's cut. Then they tell me they don't like the studio for ruining the best film in the series. Fincher's genius and artistry confirmed yet again.

Oh. But still, Aliens should have been in there.

I recently purchased the 10 disc Alien box set, with all the directors cut attached. Really changes my opinion on a lot of the movies. I enjoyed seeing the extra bits in Aliens too which Cameron had had to cut out. Haven't got around to seeing Resurrection Directors Cut yet (well not really a directors cut - but lots more in it), and considering I am one of the few who enjoyed it, I have high hopes.

Buscemi wrote:Oh. But still, Aliens should have been in there.

I'm suprised it wasn't listed since Aliens is a great movie! And hey, even though Alien3 is going out in the first round, I hope my main mission was served: you're interested enough to go back and watch the Director's Cut to see if I'm valid or if my movie sensibilities are completely out the window.

Surfer is bang on about the 10 disc collection. They've got a great special feature that shows you what footage was included theatrically and what is additional material. It works the best in Aliens and Alien3, the latter is transformed into a vastly better film. With no doubt the best dvd box set I've ever purchased -- And I buy lots!

Buscemi wrote:Oh. But still, Aliens should have been in there.

Simple way of getting what you want on there next time: put it in your top 5... Can't complain too much if your 5 FAVORITE sci-fi films automatically make the list, can you?

Yeah, if you didn't get it from the first poll, I like to do sub-catagorical tournaments within my tournaments. So, naturally Star Wars films face each other first to determine the Fantaverse's favorite Star Wars film. Same with the Alien series.

E.T vs The Thing though? Why GODDAMMIT WHY?!!!!
