6. Superior Firepower: The Making Of "Aliens" (1986)

Are you the kind of person who can quote every line of dialogue from Aliens? Do you find yourself screaming €œgame over, man!€, or €œget away from her, you b****!€ at every possible opportunity you get? Well, this might be right up your alley. A behind the scenes look at one of the greatest films of all time, The Making Of Aliens is a must watch for anyone who considers themselves a fan of James Cameron€™s sci-fi classic. Made for the 2003 DVD release of Aliens, the documentary explores everything from set construction to the filming process over the course of a neat 3 hour running time€ Yes, you heard that correctly, a 3 hour running time. You may think you know everything there is to know about the universe of the Xenomorphs, but you€™re sure to learn something new from this behind-the-scenes look at the making of Aliens. Seeing the level of detail that went into the film as well as the sheer craftsmanship of the filmmakers is remarkable, but hearing about their stories and the ways in which they overcame the difficulties of the shoot is what makes this particular film truly inspirational. If you€™re not a fan of Aliens (for some unfathomable reason), there€™s still a lot of material to engage with. If you€™re a fan of practical effects, concept art or filmmaking in general, you€™re sure to find something to love in this truly epic making-of documentary. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VWLKwrmYd6A
