Alien or Aliens : which is the better film? It's one of cinema's oldest debates, with Ridley Scott's seminal 1979 classic perfecting the art of horror and science-fiction fuelled suspense, while James Cameron's 1986 action-packed sequel set the template for over two decades of video game culture to...
