Ripley blasting the Alien out of the airlock at the end of ALIEN (1979) is one of the most satisfying endings in movie history. Ridley Scott fought for that finale, and cinema is better for it.

After completing "Escape From L.A" (1996), John Carpenter was actually thinking of taking a break from the movie business. For him, making movies "stopped being fun". He couldn't decide whether to quit or not. Then he got his hands on the novel ‘Vampire$’ & two screenplays (by Don Jakoby and Dan Mazur) based on it. He took them home, read them & found it interesting. He combined the good parts from all the three works & included his own vision. And the idea of making a Horror-Western, combining Hawks and Peckinpah intrigued him. So, he made "Vampires" (1998).
