Can't believe some of the replies that aliens is better. Aliens is a dumb action film, abiet a good one. It makes no sense and reduces the alien to cannon fodder. Alien is a masterpiece, none of the sequels come remotely close - except Alien Isolation.

Ridley Scott...cinematic genius

Very slow for modern standars. “Nothing” happens in the first hour.

Emphyr10 One of my all-time favourites. Better than all the sequels.

It holds up so well.

Aliens is better!

One of my favourite films, a true masterpiece.

possibly the best film ever.

Excellent film. Who'd have thought Aliens would be better though (controversial).

A genuinely strong female lead character, modern Hollywood could learn a lot from this movie, Disney especially.

Awesome
