My ranking:
1) aliens
2) alien
3) alien: resurrection (honestly a movie I find hi GG my underrated with a lot to love. Very watchable on its own)
4) AVP
5) Prometheus (I suddenly appreciate the opening theme ‘life’ that plays at the start of the film)
6) alien: Covenant
7) alien 3 (I find this movie to dour and depressing even with its good moments)
8) AVPR

[knightcrow]

8 - AVP Requiem (just terrible)
7 - (Pretty bad but assembly cut is decent)
6 - Alien Resurrection (first have is good the goes down hill)
5 - Alien Covenant (pretty good but wasted potential)
4 - AVP (good fights but could have been better)
3 - Prometheus (very underrated)
2 - Aliens (Great sequel one of the best)
1 - Alien (Classic, one of my all time favorites)



Can you do Star Trek??

[covered_in_sponges]

1. Alien- Absolute horror in a scifi setting. Classic. Incredible. Seminal even.
2. Alien 3- Yeah. "Guitly" pleasure (???). Gets back to the tone. Hostile...
3. Aliens- Great action film. If I viewed this as an action franchise I'd put it at #1.
4. AVP- If I viewed this as an action franchise I'd put this at #2. Wide gulf between 1 and 2 though.
5. Alien Covenant- I appreciate the attempt at fixing Prometheus. I really do.
6. Alien Resurrection- wow I'm surprised this isn't lower on the list
7. AvP R: People were rightly upset when AvP came out with a rating of PG13, so AVP:R was a purely kneejerk spite reaction, pushing an R-rating and absolutely nothing else of substance. Predalien implanting eggs via its mouth is something a kid imagines when playing with action figures, before a velociraptor shows up in a jetpack.
8. Prometheus.

[ozmozis]

Yo..

1. Alien - it starts the ball rolling and sets up Aliens
2. Aliens - just great screenplay and so many memorable dialog lines. Brilliant actors. "One way elevator to hell! Goin' DOWN!"
3. Alien 4 - loved it. They missed the point of Ripley 8. She was the bio weapon; her acid blood made her immune to the face huggers, as the embryo couldn't survive in that acidic level; she was useful as an android to them, while able to interact with them telepathically. The ending sucked..

AVP 1 & 2. Loved them. I could watch them again and again easily. The Wolf predator was worth it. It's fun seeing the Predators hunt something other than us and the Pred-Alien was a handful, along with the drones to take on. The weapons? Badass! Up there with Blade.

Prometheus and Covenant. Ridley Scott should've stopped. They were awful. The cast were good.. the plot was dumb. Vickers get run over by a ship shaped as wheel.. Face palm moment. Dumb. I wanted my money and time back on those two films, it was that awful.
Alien 3 can join Prometheus and Covenant. Haven't watched these three since they were released.

[maximilianorubio]

Great ranking!
Despite being considered “bad” I enjoy watching AvP, guilty pleasure I guess 😅

[DiabloGuapo]

8. AVP Requiem. Literally unwatchable and the only Alien film I actually hate.
7. Alien Resurrection. The tone for this one was way too weird, but I'd still watch it if it came on TV.
6. Prometheus. An interesting concept but with its flaws.
5. Alien Covenant. Has more Alien but too much David.
4. AVP. Probably the best AvP film we'll ever get.
3. Aliens. Controversial placement, I know, but it dumbed down the Aliens to mere bugs and took away the horror. But I love the characters and the Queen.
2. Alien 3. VERY controversial pick, but it brang back the horror and the bleak atmosphere exemplifies the overall nihilistic tone of the series as a whole.
1. Alien. It introduced us to the Alien and its Lovecraftian Horror hasn't been matched yet in the franchise.

[djuramornar]

My favorite alien 3-4–1 and 2 on the first place my opinion

[isaiahsmith]

I disagree with your view of AVP2, the edginess isnt really so as it immediately contextualises the threat level, is also the only movie where aliens get loose in a populated area, it is well written, and is a great nod to the original source material for both properties.

AvP 2
Alien Covenant
Alien Resurrection
AvP
Prometheus
Alien 3 Assembly Cut

[Jessica_O_Bell]

I refuse to call it "Alien: Covenant" because it's true name is obviously Prometheus 2.

[joshpetersen]

My personal list goes thusly

8) AVP Requiem(agree with you here this is bleh. This one really showed why it was a bad idea to set AVP in modern times rather than in the same timeframe as Alien/Aliens)
7) Alien Resurrection (This one is just Whiskey Tango Foxtrot)
6) Alien 3 (There are some tech issues but I can forgive it for those, but killing off two characters that I liked off screen killed the movie for me stone dead.)
5) Alien Covenant (The stupid! It burns!!!)
4) Prometheus (This one I'm kinda meh about. IMO it's barely an Alien movie)
3) Alien vs Predator (A fun movie to turn your brain off and watch but not much more)
Now for the last two they are so close as to be almost a coin toss. What decided my opinion was I am not really a horror fan. (Alien and John Carpenters The Thing are the only ones I really watch regularly) so.
2) Alien (Great haunted house/body horror movie and, IMO, a true classic.)
1) Aliens (The greatest sequel of all time that showed HOW to make a good sequel while keeping what made the original great. Quotable lines, characters we actually care about, it's got it all)
