I dunno. At the very least, you'd have to call Alien a hybrid horror/sci-fi movie (maybe the first ever of it's kind). Aliens, the sequel is more properly a classic sci-fi action flick. Alien 3 returned to the horror aspect.

You have no idea how many arguments I've gotten into work about how good Alien 3 actually is. People just can't see past the (most excellent) action bonanza of Aliens.

Interesting point. Is "The Thing" horror of Si-Fi? I say Horror because of the setting. Was Star Trek First Contact a horror film? Or an Action film? Think about the plot. You have these "monsters" (Borg)killing people to possess their body's. Like Zombies only with flashing lights.
