Alien

[Peter A]

Anyone generally agree that the first one is the best?

[Angra]

First time watching, yes. On repeated viewings, no.

[ImmortalSlasher]

They both complement each other. The best really comes down to preference. I probably prefer Aliens. But I think I saw that one first. I can't remember.

[ChainsawKiller]

Yes I think the first one is the best. The second one is a good action film but no where near as tense or scary as the first one. Plus the second one as that annoying girl with the high pitched scream...

Honestly, I like Aliens better.

[Peter A]

OK. Why does Disney have the rights to this franchise now?!

Oh no..

[Peter A]

Man, this PG-13 garbage is more or less destroying the real horror movies.

Like those ones where they fight the Predators in some money grab for a crossover. Meh.

It's too dark to see anything on the screen, but that's SCARY! Nah. It's not.

ALIEN is a good film, but hasn't aged well for Me while ALIENS is still a winner.

Personally, Aliens is the best in the franchise. I do, however, prefer watching Alien 3 though.

That being said, I can't remember the last time I watched any of them. ::big grin::

Of all the Alien movies you prefer Alien...3? Were you part of the crew?

I have a soft spot for it as it was the first one I remember seeing, when I was a kid. I know it's crap. ::big grin::

[ChainsawKiller]

I actually prefer 3 to 2 but 1 to all and hate 4.

[E.F. Benson]

Definitely. The first is more eerie, and a feeling of isolation.The second is more of an action flick, and has more of a Hollywood feel to it.

[Sculpt]

I really like both Alien and Aliens.

I don't rewatch films too often, but I've certainly watched both more than once, and both for special study.

Alien is a feast for the ears. The sound mixing (sound effects and music) is masterfully interlaced. Alien is more immersing and visceral than Aliens. But Aliens is a funner casual watch.

The alien universe, including Prometheus and predators is my favorite. I guess I don’t have a preference between the films. I hope Ridley can continue making them though. Sucks Giger is out of the picture and unable to continue designing sets and stiff.
