Aliens - The Best Movie Ever Made!

Creative83

In my opinion of course

But god damn, it's just a thrill ride throughout... and I have already seen it a million times since I was young... absolute classic. It holds a dubious distinction of being better then the first! Although the first movie was a classic

Predator is better

_Kaiser_

I don't know if I'd say best movie ever, but definitely in my top 5 (Predator, The Running Man, Wall Street, Aliens and of course... Die Hard).

Complete departure from the first film but all the better for it imo. So many quotable lines and memorable characters

youtube!

Exorcist for me, still the only movie that remotely scared me and still does to this day, Every time I watch it I go to bed and expect it to levitate off the ground, scares the living **** outta me still. Powerful.

I'm ready, man, check it out. I am the *ultimate* badass! State of the badass art! You do not wanna **** with me. Check it out! Hey Ripley, don't worry. Me and my squad of ultimate badasses will protect you! Check it out! Independently targeting particle beam phalanx. Vwap! Fry half a city with this puppy. We got tactical smart missiles, phased plasma pulse rifles, RPGs, we got sonic electronic ball breakers! We got nukes, we got knives, sharp sticks...

PTH2009

Dougal we are not watching aliens

Jaws.

Pulp Fiction.

Godfather.

Usual Suspects.

Shawshank.

Goodfellas.

Plenty of other contenders but it be far too hard to choose the best.

Duff

Bishops love sci-fi.

andekwarhola

It's decent but it's no Outlaw Josey Wales.

Pugzilla

F.uck James Cameron and his sh.ittty Avatar sequels that no one ever wanted.

Why do Boards censor curse words?

F.uck them too.

Yester

You need to tag those mice with some kind of gps to get the full experience.

Is there anything to be said for the best use of a stapler.

Aliens is fabulous.

But Alien is better. The tension and atmosphere is something else.

Terminator 1 isn't in there :eek:

They cut the power - wot you mean they cut the power - they're animals !

Someone was in for a surprise that day.

Riddle101

The Terminator and Terminator 2 for me. Both of course were made by James Cameron as well.

Ripley, she's not scared because she's made of plastic.

What a kid. Newt ftw. What they did at the start of Alien3 was cheap and wasn't right.

Kermit.de.frog

Whatever happened to the kid? She continue in acting?

As was Lance Henriksen.

Alien & Aliens v The Terminator and Terminator 2 is a very tough decision as to which is better.

You need to learn to get around the fucking filter.



BTW OP, very contraversal saying Aliens is better than Alien. It is a very very very close second.

This. Also it's not even James Cameron's best film. That's True Lies and anyone who doesn't think so needs to have a long hard chat with themselves

I think the one requiring a long hard chat with themselves would be you. Jesus wept man

No. She never acted again. She became a high school teacher.

There are two types of people in the world. The first enjoy a tense, terrifying horror film with believable characters and incredible atmosphere. The second prefer watching a ginger woman spray painted to resemble a Mexican, interminable military tough talking, unlikeable characters and a first act which drags on till you lose the will to live.

BOOOooooo Sir! Boo! And a further boo for disrespecting Vasquez and to your whiny 'it's problematic' and has GUNS! triggered nonsense. And for your information, we can absolutely love both. ( And also, John Wayne is the best Genghis Khan)

The first one was more a horror film. Number 2 was an action flick. Both good though. The third one went back to horror and it's not as bad as some people make it out to be.

Greyfox

Aliens is far better than Alien and is one of the best films ever made, it's in my top 10 but Terminator 1 & 2, Braveheart, Shawshank, Gladiator and Pulp fiction are better though

Ripley is absolutely amazing, she was the greatest female character in the history of storytelling but in recent times she has lost her crown to Arya Stark

Especially the "directors" cut (of Alien3) , if anyone hasn't seen it I highly recommend it , it's like a different film - and a lot better ... hmmm might watch it later actually.

Sandor Clegane

Aliens is good but Alien is superior IMO.

The tension, atmosphere and claustrophobia hasn't been beaten, one alien stalking and taking out the entire crew one by one was brilliant.

The thing runs it close though.

PowerToWait

Alien for me.

I'm bothered that nobody mentions Total Recall in their sci-fi also ran lists.

Temptamperu

Everybody knows The Money Pit was the best movie ever.

Hermy

Aliens is definitely up there with the worst films I've ever seen.
I really don't get what people like about it.
The script, the props, the acting, the plot - I just can't find anything good to say about it.

Alien on the other hand is a masterpiece of quiet tension.
