Dutch TV broadcasts all four "Alien" films in as many days. Which do you think is best?

The second one, Aliens, by far!
I used to have a crush on Sigourney Weaver when I was little, thanks to that movie...

I'm sticking with the original Alien. Aliens was a very close second. I think the directing and acting of the original is 1st class. I cannot imagine how many times I have seen those 2 movies.
It seems like many times I vote I find that I have broken a tie vote.

see tho, it's hard to compare the first two in the same category. Alien was a sci fi movie straight up, most excellent too at that. Aliens was straight up action, however i think this movie is better because they developed the aliens a lot more and you got to see more of them destroy the fuck out of the marines.
If i was going for a sci fi night it'd would be the first one.
If i wanted to see an action movie id take the second.
Overall i think the second one is better.

In order of best to worst:
Aliens Alien 4 Alien Alien 3
I'm not a big fan of the first one, partly because it's a bit dated now and really it's just one fucking alien. I prefer #4 over it because I love the dialogue and actors in 4, plus it has some interesting plot elements.

Without a doubt Alien was clutch.
The first time I saw it I was about seven. Had poison ivy and badly. My mom was taking care of me so I sat there and watched it with her.
Then again these are also the same parents who took me to see Poltergeist at the same age.
Hm. This explains a little bit...

I think Alien part 1 is the scariest but im partial to space marines so i think aliens is a cooler movie.

Its all about the original! Not as much action, not a shitload of aliens, and not even a really good look at the alien...but it was by far the best and creepiest of the series. Aliens, on the other hand, was much better as an action flick.
I remember when Aliens came out and a lot of people I knew didn't even realize it was a sequel. So many had never seen or even heard of the first one at that time. But I had watched Alien countless times on VHS by then and I was glad to see another installment.

Deffinately Alien but its hard to compare it with any of the others. It is the only remotely creepy/scary one of the four. Watching it as a kid, there was almost something terrifying about it probably because of the really good atmosphere.
Also it had great taglines
In space no one can hear you scream.
Just one can kill seven.

I'd put Alien in both the Horror and Sci-Fi catagory. I agree that Aliens is a Sci-Fi/Action flick. They're both awesome. I like that they tried to keep the science and physics reasonable (no sounds in space, realistic science, etc).
3 and 4 kinda blew. What the hell were they thinking with that Alien/sigourney hybrid that got sucked out a 2 inch hole into space? I could make a better alien with a sock and glitter.

The first alien movie was the best, without a doubt.

Alien, Ridley Scott is just a better director by far in my opinion then Cameron. I dug the suspense and build up, and disregard for traditional sci fi stuff. Also he has really good cinemetography
