Alien: 1979
Yesterday I watched “Alien” in anticipation of seeing “Prometheus” which takes place in the same universe.
One of the things that impressed me the most was how the movie holds up after 30+ years. Most of the time the dialogue and sets worked for me. At other times, I just simply couldn’t believe I was watching a movie filmed in the 70’s.

The app now defaults to a cleaner, more eye-pleasing grid view of saved content with big, colorful icons, though the traditional list view option also remains, if preferred.
