Ridley Scott's Alien has inspired many filmmakers to make their own version of the science fiction/horror classic. Which ones do you really enjoy watching?

Galaxy of Terror is great! Cameron's production design is what elevates this movie above other Alien ripoffs. The scene where the alien worm creature forces itself on a woman is also noteworthy.

I like the movie more and more upon rewatches. I think it's legitimately scary, if you can get past the hammy-ness. You're right though, the production design does a lot of heavy lifting.

Tentacle grape before it was cool (in USA).
