4. The Alien (Alien)

Alien, starring Sigourney Weaver, was one of the scariest movies of the ‘80s. Nobody can easily forget the “stomach” scene (where an alien bursts through a man’s stomach) as he lies on a table. The movie is purely about warrant officer Ellen Ripley (played by Sigourney Weaver) being as tough as she can possibly be, so that she can fight the Alien that lurks in outer space on her team’s ship.

The team behind the alien did a brilliant job in making it look as real as possible. It is tall and made up of sharp teeth, with a mouth, when opened secretes goo. It is a monster unlike any other because it does not come from planet Earth. It was a brilliant movie, and shows Sigourney as the protagonist who can really take charge and save the day!
