July 18 1986 

ALIENS opens. Director James Cameron, working from a story he co-wrote with David Giler and Walter Hill, masterfully expands Ridley Scott's classic gothic horror universe and winds up with one of cinema's undisputed great sequels. Relentless, white knuckle thrills with a militarised, adrenalized Sigourney Weaver reprising her signature role. Also starring Michael Biehn, Bill Paxton and Paul Reiser
