Poll question: Alien or Aliens? |

Lets face it. These are the only two in the series worth watching.

From wiki:
Alien garnered both critical acclaim and box office success, receiving an Academy Award for Visual Effects,<2> Saturn Awards for Best Science Fiction Film, Best Direction for Ridley Scott, and Best Supporting Actress for Veronica Cartwright,<3> and a Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation, along with numerous other award nominations.<4> It has remained highly praised in subsequent decades, being inducted into the National Film Registry of the Library of Congress for historical preservation as a film which is "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant"<5><4><6> and being ranked by the American Film Institute as the seventh-best film in the science fiction genre.<7>
A sequel to the 1979 film Alien, Aliens is set fifty-seven years after the first film and is regarded by many film critics as a benchmark for the action and science fiction genres.<2><3> Aliens earned $86 million in the United States box office during its 1986 theatrical release, making it the highest domestic gross of the Alien series. It earned $131 million internationally,<5> and was nominated for seven Academy Awards including a Best Actress nomination for Sigourney Weaver, which was considered a benchmark at the time when the Academy gave little recognition to the science fiction genre.
I like to pretend that III and IV as well as the AvP films simply don't exist.
