Surprised Aliens made the final, its good but I wouldnt even pick it over the original.
If you look at the match ups, aside from it's victory over Psycho which was bizarre, it got put up against really easy films to beat. It basically slipped through the cracks.

Aliens is a very very well crafted war type movie though. its got brilliant writing, shooting, efects for its day, and editing. It's pretty cool.

Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (Nominated by Axl S)
"No, my father didn't fight in the wars. He was a navigator on a spice freighter."
"That's what your uncle told you. He didn't hold with your father's ideals. Thought he should have stayed here and not gotten involved."
"You fought in the Clone Wars?"
"Yes, I was once a Jedi Knight the same as your father."
"I wish I'd known him."
"He was the best star-pilot in the galaxy, and a cunning warrior. I understand you've become quite a good pilot yourself. And he was a good friend. Which reminds me [...] I have something here for you. Your father wanted you to have this when you were old enough, but your uncle wouldn't allow it. He feared you might follow old Obi-Wan on some damned-fool idealistic crusade like your father did."
"Sir, if you'll not be needing me, I'll close down for awhile."
"Sure, go ahead."
"What is it?"
"Your fathers lightsaber. This is the weapon of a Jedi Knight. Not as clumsy or as random as a blaster. [...] An elegant weapon of a more civilized age. For over a thousand generations the Jedi Knights were the guardians of peace and justice in the Old Republic. Before the dark times, before the Empire."
"How did my father die?"
"A young Jedi named Darth Vader, who was a pupil of mine until he turned to evil, helped the Empire hunt down and destroy the Jedi Knights. He betrayed and murdered your father. Now the Jedi are all but extinct. Vader was seduced by the dark side of the Force."
"The Force?"
"The Force is what gives a Jedi his power. It's an energy field created by all living things. It surrounds us and penetrates us. It binds the galaxy together. [...] Now, let's see if we can't figure out what you are, my little friend. And where you come from."
