Tele's 100 Favorite Movies aka "Comfort Food" (complete)

[Ozymandias]

Alien > Aliens

 

I love Aliens too, but the first one is just a perfect claustrophobic and sexual horror masterpiece where your screams couldn't be heard in space and the creature wasn't a bug.

T2 is bigger and better than T1.  That takes nothing away from the original, but I don't think there is another director who has managed to out do his first film on the same level as Cameron did here.  Also, the fact that the first Terminator had Arnold as the bad guy, and then being smart enough and ballsy enough to make him the good guy in this one, plus Sara's metamorphosis. the use of I'll be back, Get Out, Come with me if you want to live, the comedy, the effects, which were and still are ground breaking, it all just adds up to a better film than T1, imo.

I love Alien, but Aliens is better imo.

Okay, we've reached the top two...

[Empire]

Alien and Aliens are both fantastic films, but I slightly prefer Alien.

[baumer]

Jason X for number 1!!

Alien and aliens are too different to compare imo. One us a great horror whereas the other is a great action film.

Sorry, in a meeting. It'll be a couple of hours.

The best scene and the most emotional scene in the trilogy is undeniably this one:

It's as perfect as filmmaking can get.

Gee, Sam gets all the emotional scene. he's got to be perhaps the most loyal character in any film ever.

 

wait wait this scene...

baumer's reaction to finding out he has to wait a couple of hours to see what your top 2 are:

[The Stingray]

Watched Near Dark. Loved it. Best vampire movie I have seen, although I know that ain't saying much. Loved the mood, the existential vibe, the genre blending, and the TD score.

 

9/10

[RobinHood26]

Picking between Alien and Aliens is like Sophie's choice. 

[IndustriousAngel]

I like Alien a little more than Aliens (10/10 vs. 9/10) , but for the Terminator series, I'm with Tele (T2: 9/10, T1: 8/10)

[Ethan Hunt]

Best film trilogy of all time, STAR WARS fans just need to accept that fact of life.

No way, Bourne trumps both ( LotR is great though)

[The Stingray]

Wild guess at #2:

 

Welcome to the Roughnecks!

[darkelf]

And, aside from one director, no one shoots or constructs action better than Cameron, and in these earlier films of his, action is the singular driving force of the movie (compared to other films which may have more adventure or comedy or dramatic thrusts).

 

Who's that? McTiernan?

[Plain Old Tele]

Who's that? McTiernan?

 

 

In answer to your question......

[Jake Gittes]

Picking between Alien and Aliens is like Sophie's choice. 

Except this one is actually hard.
