i have the box set of all of them. the last one was the worst - but i have to admit to really liking all of them. i can't think of anyone who has come close to being as kick-ass as sigourney weaver in these films. even when they did the typical thing they do to action female roles - making her a mom - she was a clear-thinking hard-ass all the way as opposed to turning into a sobbing mass.
the first two are as beautiful as that genre can get.
do not get me started on this franchise - SFA (so fucking AWESOME!!) What is also great about these, is that each one was directed by a relatively newcomer who went on to bigger and better things:
Alien: Ridley Scott Aliens: James Cameron Alien 3: David Fincher Alien Resurrection: Jean-Pierre Jeunet (I guess he's the exception since he had already done Delicatessan and City of Lost Children before this)

Damn I love the aliens movies. Ripley in her panties getting out of hibernation... That's what I'm talkin' about.
And Vasquez... don't even get me started.
Peace...

this series is so fucking on point. im not even a big sci fi person but this shit was timeless.
vasquez was indeed my girl. michelle rodriguez reminds me of her, but sexier.
