ALIEN (1979)
I was too young to see Ridley Scott’s 1979 masterpiece at the cinema but had older brothers with an evil sense of humour.
As soon as it was out on VHS they sat the not-quite-teen me in front of the 18-certificate flick and subjected me to two hours of face-hugging, chest-bursting and acid blood Alien action. In space no one could hear me scream, but everyone in my street did.
Many years later I braved a director’s cut on the big screen and was terrified all over again.
