Aliens.

Blatantly. Alien i good, if slow, takes too many artistic ques imo which make it protractedly boring.

ALiens has the bang bang, one of the best action movies to go, great cast and dialogue.


we're all gonna fuckin die!!1

Paxton is great, Michael Beihn is a hero.

Aliens just edges out Alien in my book.

While the first one has the slight psychological edge, the second one's unabashed ass-kickery puts it over the top.

That's pretty much what I was getting at.

Like the Terminator to Terminator 2, the first one in both cases follows more horror/suspense themes than their blockbusting sequels.

I never liked the Alien movies. The only one I had expectation was AvP and my friends told me it was so bad it was unwatchable so I didn't even went to see it.

Alien by a wide margin.

Alien is a great horror movie, which is an extremely rare thing.

Aliens is a great action movie, of which there are many more.

After some reflexions I admit that I enjoyed some parts of Alien 4.

I know i'm going to get alot of shit for saying this but i thought alien3 was a pretty good movie. Yeah, yeah flame away you fan boys...It really wrapped up the first three movies in a satisfying way. In the end ripley destroys the aliens but kills herself in the process. I also liked how it brought back the deadliness of the aliens that was so present in the first one. I liked aliens but it made the aliens seem less inteligent. Hell in the first one only one alien terrorized and killed the whole crew yet in 2 they're getting blown up right and left as if any moron with a gun could take one out. The alien being born from a dog was also an interesting twist and how it sort of adopted a cat like persona.

Voted for the first Alien, Ridley Scott and Giger rule all of you SUKKERZ!

:D

I also love Cameron's part two, but only the original version WITHOUT the ridiculous extra scenes, they completely destroy the dark atmosphere, specially all those family scenes with Newt, her brother and parents. Fuck that.

The others from 3 to whatever have no place in an Alien poll (IMHO). They're no good horrof/sci-fi flicks, let alone worthy Alien sequels, specially part 4 is the most abysmal piece of crap I've ever seen in this regard.

The statement of great horror movie being extremely rare is a bit strange to me because, at least for my standards, there are a lot of great horror movies.

Alien, followed pretty closely by Aliens. Hell, I even liked Alien 3, and have seen 4 about 10 times (just because I'm a huge Alien fan). I will admit that 4 is garbage, but I can't help it.

Back to favorites. Alien is just so good as a true horror movie. Probably the coolest scene in any movie is near the end where they're getting coolant for the escape pod. Lambert and Parker are in a room, and then the creepy music starts, and you see a shadow. I love how Parker tries to save Lambert, and then gets killed. The way he screams, shows the alien's teeth, and how Parker's like "get out of the rooooom!". Don't know what it is, but that part always was badass to me.

Aliens was a great action movie, too. But there's something about just one running around that you know NOTHING about that's really frightening.

The original Alien was a cinematic masterpiece while the rest are just cheap action flicks.

It's not that 2-3 weren't fun movies but they aren't in the same league as the original.

AvP and Alien Ressurection just kind of sucked.

Alien. I like it so much I have it on laserdisc.
Actually all of them are pretty good. Aliens because it was a GOOD James Cameron movie and Alien3 because it was a David Fincher flick.
However, Alien Resserection (or alien 4 as the poll puts it) should be striken from the list.
Anyone voting for that needs to be put down for a dirt nap.

Alien

Aliens is one hell of an action movie and I love it but Alien is probabley the best horror movie made in the last 30 years(IMO)
