Aliens is a great action film. Alien is a great horror film (both are also obviously sci-fi). I personally think effective horror is more difficult to pull off, so I have a greater appreciation for Alien. In my opinion, Alien is a better-crafted film overall. It has a better atmosphere.

With good reason it won best picture Oscar.
And the Alien movies plunged pretty far after Aliens. The fourth was just aweful. I think I have to change my vote, though, the more I think of it, from Aliens to Alien. A true classic (yeah, I'm probably influenced by Wes Craven's opinion).

Even though I enjoyed both films, Alien will always be the better of the 2 simply because of it's darker and grittier feel .. it also had the advantage to be the first, and it's always difficult to capture lighting in a bottle twice.

Good points, Gir... where Alien is a diamond-in-the-rough film, Aliens became a polished product... maybe a little TOO polished, but nonetheless, still two great SciFi films that each have good points to them, and not one bad thing to say about either one...
