Alien was pretty revolutionary in how it presented astronauts because up until that time they were either fresh cut military nasa types or epic heroes from some space drama. In alien they're just truckers doing what they can to get by, working class stiffs.
really made you feel for them too. no obvious horror personality archetypes, instead each death hurt me inside it was like watching regular people get fucked by something beyond their understanding. excluding the corporate android fuck that guy
