[QUOTE="Richard Channing, post: 179839, member: 10"] Memory: The Origins of Alien. I'm a huge fan of the Alien series, I've seen every movie that xenomorph is in, and I've watched a few good docs on the making of it, so I wasn't sure if there'd be much new to learn from another Alien doc. But I was pleasantly surprised. Although it does use some interviews with Ridley Scott and others behind the scenes that I've seen in another doc, it also delves much deeper into the origins of the story and the influences that lead to the look and life cycle of the alien. It also does a good job of explaining where it fits into movie history, and how it broke the mold in many ways, yet was also an amalgamation of many different ideas borrowed from science fiction of the 50's and 60's. There's also a very detailed blow by blow account of the filming of the infamous chest-buster scene with John Hurt. It's a kind of a must-see if you're and Alien fan.
