Scott's direction is superb and everything else about it is outstanding - a strong script from Dan O'Bannon et al, an evocative score from Jerry Goldsmith, brilliant design and special effects, including the amazing contributions from H.R.Giger, all add up to an amazing movie experience. Whatever, 'Alien' itself is a brilliant piece of work, and is almost flawless. The last of these 'Blade Runner' was released twenty years ago now, so to me Scott is long past his use by date. In fact, on reflection there are only three Scott movies I genuinely like, those being his first three. Ridley Scott is now one of the most well known and successful directors in Hollywood, but I don't think anything he's made in the last ten years is a patch on this perfect film, which is a near masterpiece in my opinion. 'Alien' while technically science fiction is also one of the greatest horror/suspense movies ever made.
