One of the seminal motion pictures of the science-fiction and action genres hit theaters on this date in 1986.
And it still holds its own four full decades later. Aliens is going to prove to be as timeless as its predecessor. I love pretty much everything about this movie.
Bit of a side note: a week and a half before 9/11 I had dinner with Jenette Goldstein, the amazing actress who played Vasquez. She's an absolutely delightful woman.
Happy anniversary Aliens. And no doubt we will be enjoying you just as much forty more years from now as we do today.
