I voted for 'Aliens'. You need to see 'Alien' to know what has happened and what is likely going to happen, and it's a great movie, and the third one isn't bad either, but the second one is the best !! ;D

I agree, I like aliens the best because you see more Xenomorphs than in Alien

Aliens of course. I like them all but that one was full of action, guns, things blowing up, creepiness, and lots of great one liners including many from a hysterical Bill Paxton losing it, "Game over man, game over"` ;D

I guess I can be the first dissenter here. Perhaps it is because I was so young when I saw it (11 or 12), but the original made the biggest impression on me (several weeks of nightmares). To me, it was so much better when the characters had absolutely no idea what they were dealing with.

I have to choose Aliens. Just the whole movie worked for me, from the arrogent Colonial Marines not knowing what they were getting themselves into, to the action and suspense.
When you think about it, we really don't get a good look at the aliens until the Queen, it's always quick shots of them or them moving in the mist and shadows. I think when Hicks put his head through the opening in the celing and saw the group of aliens crawling upside down to enter operations was just as creepy as anything in Alien - the same with the initial battle, it's the first time we see more then one Alien, they are destroying the Marines, and we hear most of the battle while watching Gomen's monitors and hearing the terror.
And like Wolf mentioned, Hudson, one of the best characters ever! ;D

Aliens. It just rocks. Best action scenes, most claustrophobic, even now, after watching it a thousand times, the countdown at the end when the queen is chasing Ripley, it has me on the edge of my seat, I keep thinking she's not gonna make it! For some weird reason I think James Cameron has synced in a new ending inside the DVD, so after a certain amount of times watching it, the ending will change, kind of like how Jimmy Page and Robert Plant synced the "devil song" on the reverse side of Stairway to heaven. (which means, it's not the song backwards that's the devil thing, RP and JP put that in themselves, or so I hear. i haven't heard the reverse recording. ) just thought i'd let you all know that ;D
