Having read the fantastic thread regarding the magnificent film that is Predator, I thought I would open a discussion about another film which is getting a reboot in the not to distant future, Aliens.

Up there with Predator for most quotable film and my personal favourite from the series. What you think?

One of the best quotes has to be Hudson.. "How do I get out of this chicken st outfi!"

"Take off and nuke the whole site from Orbit"

And you call yourself PH'ers

Not to mention "Stop your grinning, and drop your Linen" - Hudson I think (bonus points if you can tell me what band used this as the opening to one of thier songs)

On of the very rare instances where a case can be made for the sequel being better than the original.

Personally, I prefer Alien, but they're both great films.

Hudson had the best lines but the movie is great, here's some more from my tired old memory:

Ripley: ...this little girl survived 6 weeks
Hudson: Well why don't you put her in charge then....

Rebecca "They mostly come at nights, mostly"

Hudson "With those things running around out there, you can count me out"

Drake "Lets Rock!!!!"

Hudson: What are we going to do now man we're F&cked"
Burke: We could build a fire, sing some songs

Another glorious day in the Corps!

A day in the Marine Corps is like a day on the farm.

Every meal's a banquet! Every paycheck a fortune! Every formation a parade! I LOVE the Corps!

How did the alien and predator films become aligned together?

Alien and Predator (The original 2 films are such different films)

Just remined me of my fave quote.

Ripley "These people are here to protect you, they are soldiers"

Newt "It won't make any difference"

In the 2nd Predator film, in the Predator spaceship there is a trophy room and among the skulls there is an Alien skull.

Wasnt their a few other skulls too, an ET skull?

An ET vs Predator vs Aliens would be awesome. (Im imagining ET's would be using dish shaped space ships, laser weapons, clinical and shiney equipment,exo-skeletons to augment their punney bodies)

It worked, you guys have cherry picked the best, althought it was Vasquez who shouted "Lets Rock!". In my humble opinion, Aliens was the better of the two, but totally different films.One action, one horror.

"Express elevator to hell, going down!"
"You always were an asshole Gorman!"

Hudson: "Vasquez have you ever been mistaken for a man?"
Vasquez: "No, have you?"

I would love to see a proper Aliens movie again...

Not AVP movies. They made good fun comic books - not so sure they made good movies. It's all a bit Frankenstein vs The Wolfman.

I'd like to see a film set after Alien 3 and before the (not so good) Alien Resurrection. With a completely different group of characters. A different encounter...perhaps with the "Space Jockeys" involved.

One can only hope.

Ripley: Lieutenant, what do those pulse rifles fire?
Gorman: 10 millimeter explosive tip caseless. Standard light armor piercing round, why?
Ripley: Well, look where your team is. They're right under the primary heat exchangers.
Gorman: So?
Ripley: So, if they fire their weapons in there, won't they rupture the cooling system?
Burke: Ho, ho, ho. Yeah, she's absolutely right.
Gorman: So? So what?
Burke: Look, this whole station is basically a big fusion reactor...
[Gorman turns back to stare, horrified, at the screen]
Burke: ...right? So you're talkin' about a thermonuclear explosion and "Adiós, muchachos."
Gorman: Oh, great. Wonderful. st!
