Does Alien still hold up for you?

Just rewatched the Director's Cut and man oh man does it still hold up. Movies today can't hold a flame to it at all. I found myself screaming at the screen begging Bret to forget Jones and save his ass. I paused certain scenes and took in the amazing visuals and attention to detail. I listened carefully to the dialogue. And most importantly I realized that a horror film can be a cult classic without all the BS trappings that come with most. Most of all, I want now more than ever to know who is the space jockey, how did the ship get there and the origin of creating as Ash would say the perfect organism? Funny how for 30 plus years we rewatch this classic film and accept it (derelict ship, space jockey, coocons, and so forth) and just jump into the story of this ill-fated crew getting killed off. I watched Ash closely, the first clue/tip was letting them back in when the quarantine law states that Hurt was to be isolated. Ash, damn you and the Company, it's all your fault I and countless of millions sat on the edge of our sets like school children whimpering as Dallas crawled in the vents or Mother counted down that our asses were toast in T-minus 10 minutes all with a Xenomorph hunting us. God, I love this movie. Now, can Prometheus even come close to it's level of bad assness?
