The Boy convinced me he's ready to watch the original ALIEN for the first time. Some 40-year old Ridley Scott goodness in modern 75" 4k upscaling.
Sometimes it's cool to see these old movies and appreciate the things they achieved even with the technological limitations of the time. We actually turned on the original Mad Max first, but after a half hour or so, I had to turn it off and we switched to this. MUCH better choice!

I went to see The duelists in 70s.Not a big crowd but great movie.
Not much later went to see Alien.The movie had quite a buzz about it.Big crowds at theater.Then Blade Runner comes out.I like Sci Fi and had read the short story Do Androids dream of electric sheep.No one wants to go to movie.I get my brother to go with.We Go to Blade Runner.Seven people in theater including my brother and myself.Movie blew me away.Rutger Hauer incredible performance.
Went to to three movies I liked then learned they where all directed by some guy named Ridley Scott.
Some of my other Ridley Scott favorites.
Gladiator
Black Hawk Down
American Gangster
