I was watching it on Blu-Ray recently. It looks like it could have been made recently. Both alien and blade runner have aged so well.

I still maintain that Aliens is the movie that made Ripley into one of, if not the, greatest female character in Cinematic history. If Alien was the only film with Ripley I don't think the character would've been remembered as fondly as she is today.

@reneew8181

Absolutely. If you don't know anything about the franchise at all going in, it's not even apparent until the second half/last act of Alien who the main character is. That's by design, and it works well for that movie. But Aliens is where Ripley gets to really shine, from start to finish. Sigourney even got an Oscar nomination for a sci-fi action film for gods sake, that never happens. Aliens took her to the next level for sure.

Damn, putting AVP Requiem above Alien 3 is brutal.

yes I agree. Although Alien 3 is everything else then an easy watch, the CGI is horrible and killing off Newt and Hicks is a punch in the face...But the director, actors and atmosphere is another level compared to AVP 2. The only thing I prefer in this, are the kills and perhaps the pacing. But the characters, visuals, dialoge, the fucking darkness, the dumb storyy (especially the end), etc. etc. Thats absolute garbage (and AVP 1 is a masterpiece in comparison)

Didn't know what's a face hugger, didn't know what it did. Didn't know the chest burster actually grows. Imagine our horror. And I was also lucky enough not to know Darth Vader was Luke's father, and also not knowing that Yoda was Yoda, when he first met Luke and said that he knows master Yoda, being all goofy and then turning out to be a Jedi master. Those were the days.

Do you hold any ill towards David Fincher for Alien3?

My ranking is: Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem Alien vs. Predator Alien: Covenant Alien: Resurrection Prometheus Alien 3 Aliens Alien My top two could easily switch depending on my mood and I agree with you that they’re much better than all the others. However, I’m actually a pretty big Alien 3 fan. I even like the theatrical cut more than the assembly cut. I understand most people hate it because of what they did with the characters but I felt it was very effective on an emotional level and thought it was a very interesting movie visually. I like to pretend that Aliens is the end of the story but I like Alien 3 a lot as a “what if” movie. As for Prometheus, I liked it a lot but thought Alien: Covenant kind of ruined it. Prometheus set up some interesting things storywise and Covenant basically ignored them and went in a weird and uninteresting direction. I also don’t understand the hate for Alien: Resurrection. I thought it was pretty entertaining and a better popcorn flick than Alien vs. Predator. Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem, on the other hand, was horrible. Probably one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen. Boring story, lots of uninteresting action sequences, not a single likable character, and 80% of the movie was too dark to tell what was going on. Not that the movie would be any better if you could tell what was going on. Anyway, the ones I watch the most are the first three.

I thought that throwing away characters for some edgy sake was a poor move. Alien Resurrection was one of the worst piles of shit I have ever seen, with its really bad humour and acting from most of the cast. It also had possibly the worst human villain I have ever seen in this series. However, I would still watch it like more times than Aliens Vs Predator: Requiem, which is one of the worst movies ever made.

Which Alien 3 version did you watch? I used to watch the theatrical version growing up and thought it was very mediocre. But I then I saw the extended cut and thought it elevated the movie to 3rd best in my personal ranking

I’m curious as to how your opinion has changed after six years, but it’s cool that we got the same list.

I hadn’t commented my ranking yet. But here it is. 1. Aliens (1986)-James Cameron did a great job making a sequel that’s different enough. It’s tense and had great action!! Great cast!! 2. Alien (1979)-so terrifying and a masterpiece to me. This film still scares me. 3. Prometheus (2012)-I liked how different this one is and the cast is awesome. Plus, I like how it makes you think. I feel like a straight up sequel to this would have been more interesting along with adding Xenomorphes. . 4. Alien Covenant 2017)-definitely messes with the lore....but i can get on board with its changes and it’s nearly back to form. 5. Alien 3 (1992)-yes, it’s a huge slap in the face after Aliens....but I like the horror element is back. 6. Alien Vs. Predator* (2004)-stupid entertainment. So memorable and a great theater experience I had as a teen. 7. Alien Resurrection (1997)-I think upon a rewatch this would change, but just the ending and weird things they do is just awful. Yuck. 8. Alien Vs. Predator: Requiem* (2007)-just terrible and too dark.

Totally agree with this ranking.

Great videos have you done a review on horror movie directors

Cody, I totally agree with your order. I do like AVP, I still am curious how this movies timeline could fit in Alien Covenant timelines. How did Xenomorphs end up in Ancient earth when they began in Alien Covenant timeline.

I totally agree with your list. I love the first 2 movies and the last act of Avp, but would likely never watch any of the other movies again.

Nice to see avp getting love. Avp, Spiderman 2, and i robot were the gems of summer 04

I put ALIEN at No1 and Aliens at No2, but I've never seen the second film in theaters. I would Bump up "Alien Resurrection" one notch over "AVP"! Solid List!!! I still haven't gotten over the 1st ten minutes I spent in the theatre watching ALIEN3!

Cody, saw this in a packed theater back in May of 1979 and everyone there jumped at each kill from the breakout to the end. It was and still is my 2nd favorite in the series, Aliens being the 1st.

Respect for having Resurrection in your top 4, it's climbed to my 3rd favourite after the first 2 (replacing Alien 3: Assembly Cut), I find that it gets better with each rewatch.

Wow that is almost exactly the same as my list and for almost the exact same reasons! The only thing that we differ on is #1 and #2, but they're both so good its really splitting hairs

8 Alien Covenant 7 Alien Resurrection 6 Alien vs Predator Requiem 5 Prometheus 4 Alien³ 3 Alien vs Predator 2 Aliens 1 Alien

Alien3 is number 8! It was the most well acted Alien film. Of course it has it's problems but the Assembly cut improves it a little.

Alien 3 was bland. And story does a terrible job at actually making you feel bad for characters compared to the first to movies which has more dynamic cast members. I felt no emotion for any of the characters because they were just a bunch of convicts with no redeeming qualities

The only issue I have with aliens is the scene where Ripley is holding onto the ladder and keeps her grip against the vacuum of space. And I didnt even care cause it's a old movie. That movies a perfect classic.

Okay, to be completely fair, the assembly cut of alien 3 does bring it up a couple ranks.

I love you for your controversial opinions. It’s awesome seeing a fresh, new, unpredictable list. Keep up the good work!

OMG it's so funny that you always say how controversial your reviews are, almost every list you make is almost EXACTLY how I would rank them! I would rank Alien just ahead of Aliens but only by a hair and I really enjoy Alien: Resurrection and AVP is so original!

Anthony Kulik I'd like to see a movie that feels like an Alien movie. I feel like he's taken the Prometheus storyline as far as it needs to go. Just have a straight forward sci-fi/horror movie with Xenomorphs that doesn't betray or convolute anything.

Alien is basically a movie about a group of people trapped in a confined place trying to get rid off a giant cocroach (we are all been there) but Aliens is an awesome war/action/thriller/horror movie with great characters (Ripley might be the best action character of all time), action, suspense and an amazing score that will get you equal parts excited ,terrified and unsettle at the same time.

Glad to see someone agreeing on Aluen Ressurection. I'd watch it than tge newer stuff and def Aliens for number one!

I don't think Aliens (1986) aged all that well at all compared to the original Alien (1979). Everything about that movie just screams 80's whereas the original Alien is transcendent in every way possible and the iconic special effects holds up very well today.

Daaamn! Lol I’d def put requiem last on the list. The baby alien in resurrection is unforgivable man. I always put aliens over alien. I watched both again before covenant, and I swapped. Alien is just a perfect film. Such an amazing movie. Aliens was amazing as well, but I feel like tension, suspense in alien was just unmatched.
