C/D: The Thing is a better film than Alien.


C. Alien is great, but it falls apart somewhat during the second act.

C, i actually don't think Alien is that good. Too old-looking. Also too easily beatable IRL

From what I remember of The Thing, it isnt. Perhaps this would give me a reason to rewatch it.

You're a brilliant mind Shadowplay. And very unique. I've asked many people this question and you're the first person I know who agrees with me on this.

The Thing is definitely up there for me but I might actually have been more terrified during Aliens or Jurassic Park.

C, easy.

The Thing is one of my favorite movies, and I don't like Alien at all.

You can compare them along the themes or ideas inspired. The Thing was a brilliant commentary on the deep layers of distrust that can exist between people. And how established social routines and bonds can fall apart so quickly once we stop trusting each other.

Ah yes this. The Thing I will watch literally anytime if I catch the opportunity, especially if I'm introducing people I like to it. :)

Thats true as well, but it would be like comparing The Thing to Predator.
