It is rare to find a sequel that rivals the original. But James Cameron's "Alien" may surpass its predecessor. Sigourney Weaver returns as the tenacious Ellen Ripley, the sole survivor of a crew encounter with the fearsome Xenomorph aliens. [When she wakes up after decades of being trapped in a capsule in an escape shuttle, she learns that her employers at the Weyland-Yutani Corporation have begun building a settlement on top of what is undoubtedly a full-fledged Xenomorph colony. When her warnings are met with skepticism, Ripley must once again suit up, investigate why the settlements have suddenly gone quiet, and kick the Xenomorphs to the curb.

This is not the only sci-fi classic debuting on Max this month. The original "Dune" (1984) is also streaming, but first-time viewers should know that it is much, much trippier than the Timothée Chalamet remake. That's because it's directed by David Lynch (Twin Peaks) and doesn't shy away from the, shall we say, more inspired sci-fi elements of Frank Herbert's original novel.

The overall story will still be familiar. Thousands of years in the future, Paul Atreides (Kyle MacLachlan), heir to the ruling family of a planetary empire, finds his life changed forever when his family gains control of the desert planet Arrakis. The planet is the sole source of one of the most precious substances in the universe: spice. As various factions vie for control, Paul finds himself at the center of a galaxy-spanning political power play, emerging as a leader and potential savior.

A beloved modern holiday classic. Elf" is the bizarre tale of an orphaned baby who enters Santa's sack on Christmas Eve and is raised by the elves of the North Pole. Buddy (Will Ferrell), who believed he was an elf until adolescence, is shocked when it is revealed that he is actually human.

Shortly after this shocking discovery, Buddy embarks on a mission to the far country of New York to meet his father, Walter Hobbs (James Caan), who has earned himself a spot on the naughty list. Along the way, Buddy tries to spread Christmas cheer to all, but encounters a department store clerk (Zooey Deschanel) who is equally lacking in Christmas spirit. Often cited as one of the best Christmas movies of all time, "Elf" is an essential Christmas film. - Rory Mellon
