Really it's like trying to choose between your favorite kid (if I had any).

I love Alien for the sense of claustrophobia you get, being trapped on the ship with the crew and the damn Alien (which was shown the perfect amount). But I love Aliens equally for being the opposite of that - you're just taken on this adventure ride, actually going into where the damn things are. We just tried to get AWAY from them in the last movie!

Hell they're both gold and I love them. It helps that I'm a dork.

Great movie night:

Blade Runner
Terminator
Alien
Aliens
Predator
The Thing
Predator 2
Terminator 2

No doubt about that!

I would also add Escape from New York to the list.
