Look guys, I love Alien and all, but this is one of the rare occasions of the sequel being so much better its just ridiculous.

We're sorry, we like cerebral suspense movies, not big dumb action movies.  Aliens is still a great big dumb action movie, but the first movie is 100% aces.

Did you catch it in the theaters a couple years ago for the 25th anniversary?  It was the director's cut.

They're both at the top of their respective genres, but to say Aliens is better than Alien and claim it as FACT is all shades of wrong.

I enjoy Aliens more, but Alien is the better movie IMO.

Aliens is cheap fun action. Alien is a great film.

Nope.

Aliens is really, really awesome, but Alien is probably one of the scariest movies EVER. It's probably one of my favorite movies ever and in my top three scariest films of all time.

Aliens is awesome, but Alien, IMO is clearly the better film in all aspects.

Alien is a suspense/sci-fi masterpiece. Aliens is a very good action flick. In other words, no.

We're sorry, we like cerebral suspense movies, not big dumb action movies.  Aliens is still a great big dumb action movie, but the first movie is 100% aces.

The second movie is 100% aces as well. It's universally praised, and there's certainly nothing "dumb" about its big-ness. It's like the blueprint for those types of movies but so many movies since then have done it wrong that it kinda cheapens it; I remember you made a similar analogy with respect to The Godfather. I see it as the same thing.

Alien: 10/10
Aliens: 10/10

Alien is the second scariest movie I've ever seen, and for that I'll say Alien>Aliens.

Aliens is the blueprint for all the big, dumb sci-fi actioners of today.  The original is still pretty good, though, even though James Cameron ripped off Starship Troopers (the book, not the movie, obviously) for a bunch of the movie's elements.
