Alien
The Legend badge is hard to earn. Alien's 72% record across 264 matchups reflects consistent, broad-based appeal — well above the 50% that would mean winning as often as losing. Ridley Scott's original carries an aura that forty-five years of sequels and imitators haven't diluted. When it appears on a ballot, voters aren't just picking a film — they're picking the thing that defined what sci-fi horror could be. It is the top-rated Ridley Scott film on BingeBracket and leads the 1970s. Decisions come fast at 1.7s average. This is a film people have opinions about before the matchup asks for one.
Synopsis
During its return to the earth, commercial spaceship Nostromo intercepts a distress signal from a distant planet. When a three-member team of the crew discovers a chamber containing thousands of eggs on the planet, a creature inside one of the eggs attacks an explorer. The entire crew is unaware of the impending nightmare set to descend upon them when the alien parasite planted inside its unfortunate host is birthed.
72% to 61% looks like a decline until you remember what those numbers mean at this level. Alien's worst round would be most films' best.
The closest rivalry is with Aliens at 54% — a matchup tight enough that a handful of votes could flip the lead. The 100% rate against The Silence of the Lambs is among the most lopsided in Alien's history. AVP: Alien vs. Predator at 100% is another comfortable win.
