I still maintain that Aliens is the movie that made Ripley into one of, if not the, greatest female character in Cinematic history. If Alien was the only film with Ripley I don't think the character would've been remembered as fondly as she is today.

Absolutely. If you don't know anything about the franchise at all going in, it's not even apparent until the second half/last act of Alien who the main character is. That's by design, and it works well for that movie. But Aliens is where Ripley gets to really shine, from start to finish. Sigourney even got an Oscar nomination for a sci-fi action film for gods sake, that never happens. Aliens took her to the next level for sure.

yes I agree. Although Alien 3 is everything else then an easy watch, the CGI is horrible and killing off Newt and Hicks is a punch in the face...But the director, actors and atmosphere is another level compared to AVP 2. The only thing I prefer in this, are the kills and perhaps the pacing. But the characters, visuals, dialoge, the fucking darkness, the dumb storyy (especially the end), etc. etc. Thats absolute garbage (and AVP 1 is a masterpiece in comparison)

Didn't know what's a face hugger, didn't know what it did. Didn't know the chest burster actually grows. Imagine our horror. And I was also lucky enough not to know Darth Vader was Luke's father, and also not knowing that Yoda was Yoda, when he first met Luke and said that he knows master Yoda, being all goofy and then turning out to be a Jedi master. Those were the days.

For me (I haven’t watched either of the AVPs nor Prometheus): 5-Covenant (hated this movie, borderline unwatchable, twist at the end was obvious, and was confusing) 4- Ressurection (Was really strange, and no likable characters) 3- Alien3 (liked this movie a lot excluding the first five minutes, The ending was amazing) 2- Alien (What can I say, it’s a classic) 1-Aliens (my favorite movie of all time, just like the first but more action, more characters, and two climaxes)
At home with a bit of a cold. Doing a bit of binging of your channel, after just finding it.

I hadn’t commented my ranking yet. But here it is. 1. Aliens (1986)-James Cameron did a great job making a sequel that’s different enough. It’s tense and had great action!! Great cast!! 2. Alien (1979)-so terrifying and a masterpiece to me. This film still scares me. 3. Prometheus (2012)-I liked how different this one is and the cast is awesome. Plus, I like how it makes you think. I feel like a straight up sequel to this would have been more interesting along with adding Xenomorphes. . 4. Alien Covenant 2017)-definitely messes with the lore....but i can get on board with its changes and it’s nearly back to form. 5. Alien 3 (1992)-yes, it’s a huge slap in the face after Aliens....but I like the horror element is back. 6. Alien Vs. Predator* (2004)-stupid entertainment. So memorable and a great theater experience I had as a teen. 7. Alien Resurrection (1997)-I think upon a rewatch this would change, but just the ending and weird things they do is just awful. Yuck. 8. Alien Vs. Predator: Requiem* (2007)-just terrible and too dark.

My ranking is: Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem Alien vs. Predator Alien: Covenant Alien: Resurrection Prometheus Alien 3 Aliens Alien My top two could easily switch depending on my mood and I agree with you that they’re much better than all the others. However, I’m actually a pretty big Alien 3 fan. I even like the theatrical cut more than the assembly cut. I understand most people hate it because of what they did with the characters but I felt it was very effective on an emotional level and thought it was a very interesting movie visually. I like to pretend that Aliens is the end of the story but I like Alien 3 a lot as a “what if” movie. As for Prometheus, I liked it a lot but thought Alien: Covenant kind of ruined it. Prometheus set up some interesting things storywise and Covenant basically ignored them and went in a weird and uninteresting direction. I also don’t understand the hate for Alien: Resurrection. I thought it was pretty entertaining and a better popcorn flick than Alien vs. Predator. Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem, on the other hand, was horrible. Probably one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen. Boring story, lots of uninteresting action sequences, not a single likable character, and 80% of the movie was too dark to tell what was going on. Not that the movie would be any better if you could tell what was going on. Anyway, the ones I watch the most are the first three.

I thought that throwing away characters for some edgy sake was a poor move. Alien Resurrection was one of the worst piles of shit I have ever seen, with its really bad humour and acting from most of the cast. It also had possibly the worst human villain I have ever seen in this series. However, I would still watch it like more times than Aliens Vs Predator: Requiem, which is one of the worst movies ever made.

Alien is better than aliens, alien has better set design, better characters, better Xenomorph design, and a better time and atmosphere. Don't get me wrong aliens is a great film and I would love for them to make a first person horror action game set on Hadley's hope after the events of the second film. But with that said alien is just an overall better film.
I don't think Aliens (1986) aged all that well at all compared to the original Alien (1979). Everything about that movie just screams 80's whereas the original Alien is transcendent in every way possible and the iconic special effects holds up very well today.

Alien 3 is masterpiece. If you don't like the movie, you just didn't experience it right. The movie is beautiful, characters were beautiful, opening was intense, the fact that the movie is not interesting is subjective. Some of the best sci-fi movies ever (Space Odyssey etc.) are kinda boring, but that boringness can be artistic, just like is the case with Finchers's movie. Epicness doesn't mean good, it's just making people feel good, money, commercial. You will make video in 10 years, when you realize how good actually the movie is and say completely different things about this movie. But this movie needs experience. And time. Like jazz. ;)
