Alien or Aliens?

With Alien and Aliens being the best two movies of the franchise (FACT) which of the two is your preference? The suspense of the original or the gun totin' action of the second?

They're both great, and while I have both on DVD, Aliens has been watched more times than Alien. For me, Aliens is just more fun.

Alien. I guess because it was probably the first of its genre "Sci-horror".

Always been the first and will alwasy be for me. Aliens is more like a video game and I never liked the concept of the Queen, as we can see in the Director's cut of Alien, the creature can ransform biological elements (bodies) into eggs. That explained why he is killing. I did not really like the "insect concept".

What would be good to know the story before the first move actually.

Alien, although I love them all. I've got the collected Alien series. I keep meaning to have a one-man Alien film festival in my living room at some point.

alien is a movie that should be enjoyed and savorerd from start to finish in one sitting
aliens is a movie that is enjoyable from begining to end... however, it is better once the action starts... that being said i stop and watch it whenever i find it when channel surfing
