Alien's is certainly the crowd pleaser and few expected a sequel to be
so good. Still, Alien was the movie that gave me some scares and has
Ridley Scottt's amazing cinematography.
Bill Paxton credits Aliens with really giving him his break as
everyone knew him for those lines. He also appears in the first
Terminator and has a memorable role in Weird Science. It was nice to
see him get the pay off of some real stardom in mainstream films
dispite being essentially a character actor in fun films such as
Tombstone.

He's always solid. Irish Travelers and Frailty were excellent.
His over-the-top vampire in Near Dark bordered on camp.
Despite the work he's done, most people don't even know who he is.
Almost a Harry Dean Stanton. "Avenge me!!!!!!"
