Welcome to Unit 2: MOVIE MONSTERS!
Our first film will be the science-fiction classic Alien, directed by Ridley Scott and released in 1979.
Start here, at Wikipedia, for lots and lots of information about the movie:

As you start to think about designing your next project, realize that this movie opens the door to lots and lots of different topics you might want to explore, like:
Movie-making: directing, acting, cinematography, editing...
Production design: Costumes, special effects, creature design...
Film Analysis: Film Theory, Existentialism, Christian symbolism, Feminism, Marxism, Futurism...
Hmmm, that's a lot of "isms..." Start by "googling around" to find some interesting links or information on any of the concepts I've mentioned above. Post what you find below.
Consider this a "GOOGLE BRAINSTORM" session for all of us...!
