Aliens could take one Alien. I'm forgetting the question.

Re: Alien or Aliens?

I'll have to go with Alien 3--I found it to be the most dramatically affecting and the most haunting of the 3 films. Pity there's not a voting notch for that.

Rewatchability ... Aliens by a large margin.

Alien is the better film.


Which movie do I enjoy more, Aliens.

Ranked from best to worst:

Aliens
Alien
Prometheus
Alien 3
AVP
AVP 2
Alien Resurrection

I might be flexible on Alien 3/AVP placing.

Re: Alien or Aliens?

I went on an Alien movie kick last year and watched all of them, including watching the alternate cuts of the first 4 films. My ranking of the films ended up as the following (including "Prometheus"):

#1 Alien (Theatrical Cut)

#2 Aliens (Theatrical Cut)

#3 Alien: Director's Cut (but really it's just the "Director's Alternate Cut")

#4 Aliens: Special Edition (which is the actual "Director's Cut")

#5 Alien 3 (Assembly Cut)

#6 Prometheus

#7 Alien 3 (Theatrical Cut)


I HATE: Alien Resurrection (any cut)
I HATE: Alien vs. Predator (any cut)
I HATE: Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem (any cut)

Re: Alien or Aliens?

A nice way to put it is Alien is one of the best sci-fi films ever made as well as one of the best horror movies ever made.

While Aliens is one of the best sequels (sci-fi or otherwise) ever made and is one of the best action movies ever made.

I can go with that. I would also put Alien 3 as one of the most potent sci fi dramas ever made--because that's its real strength.
