...Agree about Aliens, that film really demonstrates Hollywood's ability to create something amazing.

...Aliens goes so far without losing its head (like Nash did in Alien) and shows how even Hollywood can get the balance between effects (budget) and talent (vision) right, and deliver a pulse pounding film as well.
I love the series (will even watch Alien Resurrection), but own the first three.
It is kind of a crossover film for me, somewhere between art and excessive production.

  Aliebns isn't a bad movie by any means, but its' a pretty typical action flick, only with outer space trappings. It has its moments but I don't ever need to see it again.
  
  I think Alien, OTOH, is a superior horror film, with a lot more artistry. Slow burn.

    more close up, gritty in your face fear. Aliens was too distant and all the people around diluted the scare factor, it was more fun, exciting but less bone chillin, classic, tension...
    
    thanks
