Alien or Aliens?

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.

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)
#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.

Re: Alien or Aliens?
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.
