Has anyone seen "IT! The Terror from Beyond Space!"? For those who don't know, it's the movie that inspired Alien.

The Alien itself was inspired by Necronom V, but several plot elements came from TFBS. The film is VERY old; mid fifties I believe. You’d be amazed how similar the two films are.

Kewl film and to be honest I always thought it was the comics which inspired the alien (Dan O' Bannon showed us a few comics this included which inspired the alien in the bonus disc of the quadrilogy) however it is not impossible to find. (eBay is fantastic I have never won a bid though)

I think I may have heard of that movie, but I've never seen it, if it inspired Alien, it must be ancient
