I agree, it's one of the rare exceptions.

Aliens is better than Alien in my estimation. It helped cement James Cameron's place among the great action Directors and holds up very well when seen today. The story is solid and well paced, the acting for the most part believable and the special effects serve the film rather than the other way around. BTW, that last battle scene with the Alien mother in the cargo bay is an all time classic.
The first one was excellent as well, and very scary, but as good as it was, Ridley Scott had to work around several cheesy effects (like the full body Alien costume) that don't hold up too well on repeated viewings.
