I'm going to stand up for Alien here.
Both are great/classic films and all but Alien just makes me feel more. It feels creepier, more thrilling, and more fun. I'm probably biased by the fact that I grew up on Alien but never watched The Thing until I was an adult and so it has always seemed dated to me. I also don't think that Russel's good beard makes up for his paint-by-numbers acting style.
Sigourney Weaver would make short work of all of those guys in The Thing.

The Thing: 3
Alien: 1
