Alien was more of a claustrophobic horror movie, while Aliens was more of a kickass action movie. Alien 3, while underrated, isn't nearly as good as the first two. Resurrection is a mess, but it's still wort Mon, 29 Sep 2008 19:02:06 GMT http://ossuary.best-horror-movies.com/orca/topic/Aliens.htm#609 http://ossuary.best-horror-movies.com/orca/topic/Aliens.htm While I wholeheartedly agree with most of the above, I have to chime in here because the Alien "trilogy" is very close to my heart. You'll be able to tell where Im going by the fact I called it a trilogy :)   Alien, Aliens and Alien3 ar Mon, 29 Sep 2008 19:02:06 GMT http://ossuary.best-horror-movies.com/orca/topic/Aliens.htm#652 http://ossuary.best-horror-movies.com/orca/topic/Aliens.htm This is a very interesting topic that I have debated folks on numerous time... including our own Zombie Master... I agree that this is a trilogy and represents the very best in horror and action film making. I love them and watch Mon, 29 Sep 2008 19:02:06 GMT http://ossuary.best-horror-movies.com/orca/topic/Aliens.htm#657 http://ossuary.best-horror-movies.com/orca/topic/Aliens.htm Aliens was my favourite movie for years, I seriously watched it a couple of times a week for ages. I was amazed watching it back just last year after purchasing the swanky be-all-and-end-all special edition just how effective it still was despite having Mon, 29 Sep 2008 19:02:06 GMT http://ossuary.best-horror-movies.com/orca/topic/Aliens.htm#659 http://ossuary.best-horror-movies.com/orca/topic/Aliens.htm Although I wasnt offended like a lot of fans that Hicks was killed off in part 3 (I completely understood the writer's reasons for doing so, elaborated on in the Alien3 DVD commentary) Hicks remains, to this Mon, 29 Sep 2008 19:02:06 GMT http://ossuary.best-horror-movies.com/orca/topic/Aliens.htm#662 http://ossuary.best-horror-movies.com/orca/topic/Aliens.htm And now I have to ask:   What about Alien Vs Predator?   I didn't like the first one -- I felt let down because there was so much more that could have been done with the premise of Aliens Vs Predator.   Mon, 29 Sep 2008 19:02:06 GMT http://ossuary.best-horror-movies.com/orca/topic/Aliens.htm#663 http://ossuary.best-horror-movies.com/orca/topic/Aliens.htm       Cool, another Michael Biehn fan! I'm one of those guys that didn't like the fact that he was killed off.

Aliens is great up to a point, that point being the silly Godzilla vs. Mechadon fight between Ripley and the Queen Bitch. But even without that fight, Alien is a better movie.

Aliens (apart from the Exorcist II *joke*) is my favourite sequel ever. I have always tried to like Alien more, I put a lot of emphasis on the original idea, but unfortunately I can't.

I've always hated Paul Reiser, and the reason is because I can't see him without seeing Burke, Carter J.
