I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume this won't come as a shock to anyone.

I saw Alien when it was first in the theaters in 1979 and loved it.

I went to see it weekly (like Star Wars), wore out the soundtrack (one of only two pieces of vinyl I still own), immersed myself into everything Alien I could, it was the very first VHS I ever had, also one of the first Laserdiscs, ripped the audio to cassette in the 80s and MP3 these days, etc, etc. In short - I'm a huge nerd, as much as Star Wars77.

The sequels - I've never seen them. Alien was a complete, awesome story and I have zero interest in the story-as-franchise.
