The 'Alien' films.

Hip Priest · 05.29.2006, 06:07 PM

I've included 'Alien vs Predator' as a joke, obviously.

Do tell us your choice, because it's always nice when people do that.

johnnywinternoshow · 05.29.2006, 06:12 PM

robot suit wins it for me

Hip Priest · 05.29.2006, 06:14 PM

I like Aliens a lot too, but it's Alien 3 that wins it for me - good story, supremely atmospheric film.

krastian · 05.29.2006, 06:16 PM

Oh hell yeah dude, cool poll. I voted for Aliens.

!@#$%! · 05.29.2006, 06:16 PM

is alien3 the one with the prisoners & shit?
meh...
the first alien remains unsurpassable in its reframing of science fiction myths: only a year after star wars? and no princesses, no fucking magicians, no superscience, only working stiffs being fucked over by "the company".

EMMAh · 05.29.2006, 07:54 PM

I haven't seen any of the Alien movies.

acousticrock87 · 05.29.2006, 07:57 PM

Alien. Brilliant. Kind of not-so-brilliant nowadays, but still one of my top 10 favorite movies of all time.

On a side note, Alien vs. Predator (PC, not SNES) was a kick-ass game. So was the second one.

Sheriff Rhys Chatham · 05.29.2006, 08:01 PM

I voted the first because when I saw it I was quite young and it was great. I had an alien toy as well that squirted water from its smaller mouth.

krastian · 05.29.2006, 08:19 PM

Alien re-enacted by bunnies in 30 seconds

Pax Americana · 05.29.2006, 08:34 PM

For me it's all about the second one. However, I do love the orginal Alien and Alien 3 was cool too. Resurrection was pretty lame and Alien vs Predator was just a sad attempt to milk a few more dollars out of two dead franchises.

alyasa · 05.29.2006, 09:32 PM

No contest. "Here, kitty, kitty, kitty..."

IntoTheGroovey · 05.29.2006, 09:57 PM

I went with Alien but Aliens is right up there with it.

kingcoffee · 05.29.2006, 11:06 PM

The first two were really good. Y+The third one was ok. The last one sucked. Winona Ryder cannot act worth a damn. She should just become a nude model and cut out all the acting crap. No one cares what she says as long as she shows off her hot body. Anyone with me?

GeneticKiss · 05.29.2006, 11:12 PM

Too bad that'll never happen since her contract has an anti-nudity clause...

But fuck you anyway, Winona Ryder rocks.

atari 2600 · 05.29.2006, 11:47 PM

first is best...ridley scott...young sigourney in her underwear...the classic operating table scene...harry dean stanton...yaphet kotto...cool homages to 2001...more patient development of suspense...a classic thriller...lots of atmosphere...riskier dialogue...it's a '70s movie

the second is a good action movie & a great sci-fi action movie...sigourney's ripley-as-badass...reiser as detestable villian...breakout for paxton from chet in hughes' weird science letdown...plentiful great special effects...spawned a good arcade machine & some cool videogames...early james cameron vehicle coming off The Terminator

Neongod · 05.30.2006, 12:08 AM

The first one has the suspense and fear.
The second one is all about action.

Depends on my mood. Tonight, Aliens.

cuetzpalin · 05.30.2006, 05:18 AM

which is the one with winona ryder?

alyasa · 05.30.2006, 05:48 AM

That's Alien Resurrection.

cuetzpalin · 05.30.2006, 05:51 AM

ok, thanks. so voting for the alien resurrection
the alien is the best but i just love winona ryder

timothy leary is her godfather

Tokolosh · 05.30.2006, 05:57 AM

The creator of alien, H. R. Giger is a genius.
