these are the best scenes from this
sketch bursting series welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top 10 Alien
franchise movie moments let’s just bug
out and call it even okay what are we
talking about this for I say we take off
and nuke the entire site for more of it
for this list we’re looking at the most
exciting or scariest scenes from the
movie spanning the first alien to alien
resurrection as we’re only looking at
the main movies we are excluding
Prometheus and any of the versus
Predator movies number 10 the underwater
chase Alien Resurrection we have to go
through the kitchen maybe 90 feet to the
freight elevator on the other side while
the aliens are already pretty terrifying
when they’re walking they’re somehow
even scarier underwater as this intense
scene proves you ready to get wet
brother yeah during their escape Ripley
and crew discovered the mess hall their
only route out has been completely
submerged in water and begin to swim
across
unfortunately aliens follow in what is
perhaps the movies most famous and
easily creepiest scene
the idea of swimming aliens is freaky
enough but being into position of having
to hold your breath while being chased
by incoming monsters is quite the
harrowing situation indeed number nine
Ripley’s death alien 3 need you to help
me
I need you to kill me in this shocking
ending to the original trilogy ripley
goes out in a blaze of glory overly
obvious christ symbolism and all the
companies sent me here to show you a
friendly face to demonstrate on porn you
Artemis when Ripley discovers that she
has an alien growing inside of her and
that the company wants to study it she
sacrifices herself and falls into molten
metal
the music during the scene is swelling
and complements the drama perfectly the
dark cinematography is also outstanding
and the content look on Ripley’s face
proves a fitting noble end for the
legendary heroine at least until the
next movie last survivor of the Nostromo
signing off number 8 Brett’s death the
first look alien the scene that
introduced the world to the grown alien
creature brats death is a true milestone
in cinematic history after calling for
Jonesy the cat Brett finds him hiding in
a corner but also discovers more than he
bargained for the swiftness and quiet
deliberation of the alien is terrifying
as it drops down behind Brett and the
snarling mouth is an unforgettable
introduction to the monster that
everyone fears
the sound effects cinematography and
lack of detail regarding the alien all
combined to create a scary scene that
plays with everyone’s imaginations
number seven Dallas in the air shaft
alien playing on many different types of
fears all at once this scene is classic
dude with sheer intensity after Dallas
volunteers to go into the air shaft
Lambert watches him on a motion tracker
only to realize the alien is in there
with him
Dallas possession for the night
the air shaft itself is a tight space
and pitch black which plays on the
viewers claustrophobia and fear of the
dark the dread of knowing the alien is
stalking Dallas is increased by Veronica
Cartwright’s amazingly desperate
performance
and of course it’s capped off by one
terrifying jump-scare that gets us every
time number six
oh there they are aliens it’s inside the
complex just reading me no other moment
in this movie blends action and horror
so perfectly they’re in the air after
seeing motion on the tracker Ripley and
her group await the onslaught of aliens
until Hicks opens the ceiling and
discovers a swarm about to attack the
wait for the creatures is unbearably
tense and the scare of seeing the
massive aliens will make anyone shiver
the gunfight that follows is loud
explosive and a lot of fun to watch
number five first encounter with the
aliens aliens I’m not making that out
too well what is it Hudson you kill me
man only more care this scene let
audience’s know that the movie wasn’t
pulling any punches and that it would
place an emphasis on action as well as
horror when the Marines discovered the
alien hi viewers are treated to a
terrifically terrifying scene when
aliens suddenly dropped from above and
pick off the crew
James Cameron made a great decision not
to show the actual combat but instead
let our imaginations take over allowing
us to fill in the blanks amid the
constant yelling and chaotic camerawork
and really what’s scarier than that
number for discovering the alien queen
aliens
this scene is one of James Cameron’s
finest remaining exciting and visceral
to this day when Ripley decides to
rescue Newt she rides the elevator down
into the alien Queens lair the audience
is treated to a master class in suspense
as she looks around in fear alarms
blaring all around her the Queen itself
still looks fantastic 30 years later due
to the power of practical effects and
Ripley burning the eggs is an
unforgettable moment in the alien cannon
is got horror action and fantastic
visual work all in one
number three ash is an Android alien
while Ian’s home portrayed the robotic
ash perfectly with his deadpan
expressions and humorless personality
it’s still a surprise when Parker knocks
his head off and we discovered that he
isn’t Android while his fast ik freakout
is certainly an indication that
something isn’t right the reveal is an
iconic moment that no one saw coming
it’s a robot she’s a goddamn robot the
scene afterwards with his talking head
is fantastically created with milk and
pasta and it still looks disgusting
today highlighting the true mastery of
the effects team what was your special
order you read it I thought it was clear
was it bring back life-form Priority One
number two get away from her you bitch
aliens one of the most quoted lines from
any of the alien movies this scene ended
the second film with a terrific action
sequence and showed Ripley’s bravery and
motherly instincts in old focus
after the alien rips bishop in half and
is about to kill newt ripley walks out
in a full mech suit and utters the
famous line get away from her you bitch
everything including the context the
cinematography the acting and the slow
reveal comes together perfectly to form
one of the most memorable scenes in
action movie history before we look at
our most memorable alien moment here are
a few honorable mentions Oh Mulder
profile we’re in the pipe five by five
I’m sorry Newt you have to be sorry it
wasn’t your fault that’s it man game
over man game over
number one the chestburster alien what’s
it gonna throw I would suggest it’s
feeding him oxygen what else could we
pick besides this terrifying scene that
continues to scare audiences decades
later after Cannes facehugger is removed
we think all is well that is until he
starts choking and an alien bursts out
of his chest the sound effect of the
alien is chilling while the acting and
visual effects are all outstanding
Veronica Cartwright is even legitimately
scared on-screen when the fake blood
shoots at her face as she had not been
warned ahead of time it’s not only the
most memorable scene of the franchise
but one of the most iconic moments in
all cinema do you agree with our list
