I'll say it proud, I liked Aliens better than Alien. It showed how overwhelming the xenomorph could be, I thought the fact they killed Newt and Hicks right off the bat in the 3rd one ruined it for me, even though the third was entertaining enough, you don't just kill of characters in the beginning like that. Aliens wasn't as suspenseful and wasn't ahead of it's time like Alien and in those categories I'll always give the nod to Alien, but for overall movie I'd watch Aliens over Alien given the chance.
