The rundown. the rocks fee probably more than the shooting budget, but pretty spartan production: minimal special effects plus no big names other than rock and Walken

Almost all classic period Roger Corman movies. The Pit and the Pendulum or The Wild Angels would be my personal choice, or The Intruder if you're looking for something with a bit more gravitas.

On my shores of perception the idea of a sober self is currently being tided in Slash dot.
My sea legs of expression (Often louted around here) are still shaky. Too much gin and beer I'm afraid. But I'm glad you got the idea of what I was aiming at

But the concept, the idea of it, that was alien
Carpenter makes up for it in The Thing if you want fancy animatronics and effects with your concepts beyond imagination given form

Well, the writer for one Benny

What similarities were there.

That alien was apparently the reason the xenomorph in Alien looks and acts the way it does
Low budget can go top tier when given the chance Benny

You wasn't kidding about low budget, mate. The Alien was hilarious.

I've not watched it all yet mate.

I think it was just a thing that guys would do around that type to try and show off how 'bad ass' they were Benny but yup, it's inclusion in Aliens was certainly a nod to the originator of it all.
Did you enjoy it?

Aliens copied the knife trick , In between the fingers.

Dark Star is the precursor to Alien and a helluva movie in its own right

I've seen the first two and they are good. I've just downloaded Dark Star because it looks like fun and a John Capenter to boot. I'll watch it tonight when it goes dark.

Clerks (1994)
,
Bad Taste (1987)
and
Dark Star (1974)
are all interesting and low budget movies Benny
