I'm not sure on whether it was a better film though. Alien was a great horror story...very scary and suspenseful. Aliens was also quite good, but I don't think it was markedly better.
Baba-Booey to you all!

I'll take the atmosphere and suspense of Alien over the shoot 'em up action of Aliens any day. Visually it's a treat too, beautifully rendered, and a great cast. Wonderful music too.

But then, I'm not a James Cameron fan.

  "Alien" breaking new ground in an era of the "Star Wars" space serial, made it a very important and satisfying film for me. Ripley is a terrific woman character and hero.
  
  "Aliens" ramped it up to blockbuster movie speed, and as such it seems more like entertainment with the message "...at least they don't #%$* their own kind."
  
  Love both for different reasons, but feel "Alien" is a better work for its deft and subtle control of time and environment.
