2. Alien: Romulus

Set between Alien (1979) and Aliens (1987), director Fede Álvarez’s smart take on the Alien series captures the feel of the original movies quite superbly as a ragtag group of Weyland-Yutani employees look to steal some cryo-pods from a derelict space station.

Unfortunately for them, it just so happens that this space station, the Renaissance, is infested with xenomorphs.

Starring Cailee Spaeny (Priscilla) as Rain – a young woman every bit as capable as Sigourney Weaver’s Ellen Ripley – and David Jonsson as the “synthetic” Andy, the film features plenty of surprises from Álvarez (Don’t Breathe), who truly understands what makes the Alien franchise tick.

Said to be a “three-minute love affair when you dance with all your heart”, Argentine tango is one of the most romantic and intimate of all dance styles.

There is no need to go with someone (though you can) as partners are rotated during each class, with the number of men to women balanced as closely as possible.
