Alien or Aliens ? -- which was the best ?

[kryptosmaster]

I have both. I haven't watched either in quite awhile although I did watch a bit of Alien not too long ago. I was trying to think of something to watch today. Maybe I'll pop in Aliens.

I prefer Aliens. I just love so many things about it. I really like Ripley.I thought it was cool to have a strong female character facing her ultimate fear and still kicking butt. I think it has great characters and a great cast. Plus it's fun all around.

Alien is very scary to me, which is good, but not enough "Xenomorph" action. Aliens has "Xenomorphs" galore. I think the Alien itself is one of the scariest ever seen. The Predator was freaky looking, the "Thing" was disturbing, but the Alien was scary as heck. Of all scifi aliens, the Alien is the best. Thats why it's called "The Alien". It's the epitome of aliens.

Again, it's Aliens for me.

good question Mike
ALien scared the hell out of me but I love the space marines (Bill paxton steals every scene he's in as hudson) So Aliens (the special ed cut) is my fav

I love Alien but nothing can compare to the first time I saw Aliens at the theater. The audience and I were completely taken in by it. Getting shocked at the shock scenes cheering (there was an audible gasp even when Burke turned off the monitor to hide the fact that Ripley and Newt were fending off face huggers)at the cheer scenes (Ripley taking control of the car, the drop ship finally coming to rescue Ripley and Newt, "Get away from her you *****!"). Something like that is really rare.

I Loved them Both. If I had to Choose, I would Lean more towards Aliens. Now I want to Watch it Again

Aliens - Hudson's "ultimate Bad A" speach makes the movie

as Bro said - Not to mention "GAME OVER MAN GAME OVER"

the extended version is one of my prized laserdiscs

I like Aliens 4 the Best,.. with Aliens a close second.
But what made 4 so great,.. was the already established history of the universe.
