Video Flagged Dead

Aliens - Ripley vs The Queen!

From the 1986 film "Aliens", by James Cameron. One of the coolest things ever filmed. This vid has Spanish subtitles (sorry), but all other versions were bad quality, and this definitely belongs on the Sift! There's very little talking in this scene anyway. Except, of course, the legendary line from Ripley at 2:27!

Great movie, bad post. For some reason I really dislike seeing cinema presented in a 320x240 flash box with crap sound. I like interesting or weird or illustrative clips from films on the sift, but entire scenes from high-production-value pictures like this deserve better treatment. It's like listening to Mozart on ringtones.

By the way this is probably my favourite overall film. I must have seen it literally thirty times start to finish and I enjoy it more with every viewing. The consistent quality in all departments is way above and beyond the standard with this film. Art direction, sound design, cinematography (especially the lighting), editing, plot, costuming, props, sets, you name it, every single department hit a home run on this picture. That's why it will emerge as an all-time classic. In 100 years, people will still watch "Aliens" and it will be held up as the quintessential late twentieth-century optical-effects-based action film.

This is another one I try to make girlfriends watch. If they are sporting about it, great, but if they actually enjoy it, that's like having a 24 inch waist and D-cups.
