it's the perfect rear projection effect for me

I think this is the best scene in the movie. Her going head on into her ultimate fear. Perfect movie

That moment when she collects herself. James Horner's score. Perfect scene.

That movie was done on the cheap, with models on wires in front of models. ON WIRES. They were using 1950s level technology in the era of bluescreens and compositing. Just amazing.

The movie is perfect in every way. There’s a great documentary on YouTube about the making of, definitely a difficult shoot.

No one’s looked better in film…no one

Sigourney Weaver, this character, and those movies live rent-free in my head. So good.

The perfect blueprint of a strong lead character: tough, vulnerable, sometimes cynical, but absolutely lethal once the survival instincts kick in. Classic film.

Rear projection? The light outside the elevator?

yep! the screen is behind the elevator
