Ridley Scott's "Alien" vs. John Carpenter's "The Thing" -which are you taking?

Basically perfect movies in their genre, but which one would you choose as the better movie if you had to pick one?

Personally I think Alien slightly edges out The Thing. The claustrophobic, atmospheric location of the Nostromo, the sense of isolation, you can pretty much feel the grime when you watch it. And while The Thing has some awesome creature designs, the Xenomorph stands in a league above the rest. It's iconic in its design.
