1. Why do you say that?
Didn't you like Aliens? I thought it was the best of the bunch.

10. Agreed, Aliens is tops of the 4
Although In alien 3 we get to see Charles Dutton engage the beast with a fire axe and inquire "Is that all you got?!".

4. How can you exclude Aliens like that!!?!?!?!
Bill Paxton made that movie worth the price of admission.

Hudson: *Seventeen days?* Hey man, I don't wanna rain on your parade, but we're not gonna last seventeen hours! Those things are gonna come in here just like they did before. And they're gonna come in here...
Ripley: Hudson!
Hudson: ...and they're gonna come in here AND THEY'RE GONNA KILL US!
Ripley: HUDSON! This little girl survived longer than that with no weapons and no training.

Ripley: Right?
Hudson: So why don't you put her in charge?

7. Bill Paxton is just great.
He's never the leading action star, but he can steal a movie even with only a handful of scenes.

Chet: How 'bout a nice greasy pork sandwich served in a dirty ashtray?

9. Very cute.
Because Alien and Alien 3 each had only one alien in them. I get it. Whereas Aliens had quite a few as I recall.

11. "We're on the express elavator to hell"
"Going down!"

My favorite line from Aliens.

This seems to me like what I tell people when they say there was more than one Highlander movie. No there was only one. It had a contained story, no room for sequels. I don't understand why they insist on keeping this delusion going.
