    How nuts would it be if Alien is indeed the 1970s winner and we already have Aliens as the 1980s winner

    I would. Didn't think Aliens should have won the 80's, and don't think Alien should make the final 4 (or even 8) of the seventies.

    That would be pretty cool! I love Aliens, but it shouldn't have won that tournament.

    True but I am predicting a winner not claiming which deserves to win.

    I wanted to vote for Close Encounters, but (although I still enjoy it in a way) so much of it makes no Goddamn sense, I just can't.
    It seems I'm miles above the surface of the Earth

    I can see across the whole of London and beyond
