Sonned? LMAO...My point was that "Alien" falls under more than one genre, which was already proven...Holy shit, you're a moron.
I've seen interviews with Ridley Scott (the director of "Alien") where he says it's a horror movie, and explains why...But you're obviously too stupid to understand that. :D
Thirteen:
the director of showgirls said that movie was one of his best works and that it was a great movie.... i guess everyone else is wrong in saying it sucks
so far you're not winning any of these arguements...you should give up

I take filming classes, and anyone who knows anything about the horror genre, knows that "Alien" is a horror flick with the Alien playing a slasher...I've studied horror, and know the genre like the back of my hand...You're just a moron who doesn't know shit about movies, and thinks just because a movie has aliens in it, it must be only Sci-Fi..."The Fly" is another example of Horror/Sci-Fi...Oh, but wait, maybe that isn't horror either. Maybe since "South Park" is animation, it can't be comedy...You, my friend, are a moron...You think you know more about a movie than the creators; it just shows what an egotistical idiot you are...And I bet you know it's a horror. You're just arguing for the sake of arguing, which is pretty sad.

When science-fiction meets horror...
Every now and then a daring combination has a good and unique movie as a result. "Alien" is one of those movies, along with it's sequel "Aliens" that mixes science-fiction, horror and action.
The best thing about the movie is its atmosphere which makes it notable that Ridley Scott is the one that directed this movie. His style might be a bit slow for some but it makes the atmosphere very chilling and mysterious. It's the most atmospheric horror movie ever made also thanks to the chilling musical score by Jerry Goldsmith, good camera work and lighting
The most surprising thing about the movie is the character Ripley played by Sigourney Weaver. She begins as a small character but later in the movie she turns into the main (heroin) character. She really is one of the best female characters in movie history and is even better in "Aliens".
The movie is filled with some unforgettable scene's (the dinner scene is a classic) and some scene's that will bring you to the edge of your seat even though some of the horror is at times predictable (splitting up is always asking to get yourself killed).
The acting is top class, thanks to the directing and some good dialogue. Tom Skerritt, Sigourney Weaver, Veronica Cartwright, Harry Dean Stanton, John Hurt, Ian Holm and Yaphet Kotto are all unforgettable.
A must see classic science-fiction/horror movie.
10/10

If you'd like to be funny, you should take more English classes.
Since you have your PhD in film studies, maybe you should go to all the chains nation wide that sell DVD's and tell them that their filing system is wrong.
Explain to them that since the Aliens have sharp claws, and that it takes place in a inadequately lit space, and that these reasons alone make the movie a horror movie. Tell them to forget about the spaceship/planets the movies take place on, to forget about the movies taking place in the future, that the movie involves Aliens, high tech. weaponry along with high tech. gadgetry and lets not forget the androids.
I'm sure they will see things your way, you film expert you.
