20 Best Movie Taglines Of All Time
1. Alien
The tagline: ‘In space no one can hear you scream.’
And the award for best movie tagline of all time goes to Alien. Simple, evocative and definitive, ‘In space no one can hear you scream’ is a triumph befitting one of modern cinema’s best and most influential films.
The tagline perfectly captures the isolation and danger felt by the Nostromo crew when their response to a deep-space call leads to an all-too-close encounter with the terrifying Xenomorph of the film’s title.
Ridley Scott only had one feature to his credit when he was approached to bring Dan O’Bannon’s script to life, having made his mark to that point as a director of commercials. And while Scott has gone on to a storied career, with last year’s The Martian his best work in over a decade, Alien is still his defining film and a franchise he remains committed to some 37 years later.
