2) Aliens

Decades after an alien parasite slaughtered the crew of the Nostromo, lone survivor Ellen Ripley is recovered from deep space and enlisted in a mission to destroy a colony of the creatures that has been discovered on a remote planet. But there is more to the expedition than Ripley knows, and the aliens will not go down without a fight…

James Cameron’s sequel to Ridley Scott’s Alien was beset by production problems from the outset, which makes it all the more impressive that the resulting film is a masterpiece. Aliens in many ways represents the birth of the action horror genre, marrying fast-paced, high-octane gunplay with creeping dread. This is another film that takes inspiration from the Vietnam War, telling a tale of technological hubris in the face of ruthless, unstoppable opposition from a superior predator.

The hunters become the hunted.
