Alien>Covenant>Aliens>Prometheus>Aliens 3>i refuse to watch Resurrection.
Is it me or has this been a more recent phenomenon.
I swear there's probably an earlier verison of this poll from either shortly before or shortly after Prometheus coming out and it was waaaay closer to 50/50.
Aliens = Alien
Alien 3
Alien vs. Predator
Prometheus
Alien vs. Predator: Requiem
Alien: Covenant
Alien: Resurrection
The bottom three are cinematic abortions, but hey, gotta count them.
The aliens took out 156 colonists and their actions resulted in the death of every single person on the Sulaco (plus Bishop and Newt) some threat huh.
Does the original still hold up? Im a dumb millenial.

Alien >= Aliens > what the fuck ever else
It's definitely a worse made movie than Prometheus, Covenant or even Resurrection but it's also non-canonical spin-off that plays off of nostalgia, uses practical effects and has characters with sensical motivations. Plus, they actually make rational decisions and don't, oh I don't know, remove their helmets on a completely alien planet just because they assume it has breathable atmosphere.Avp is far worse than 3 you've listed below it.
Except that they knew it had breathable atmosphere because they scanned the planet and notice that it was far more suitable for life than the planet they were sent for originally, which is why the captain even decided to touch down in the first place.It's definitely a worse made movie than Prometheus, Covenant or even Resurrection but it's also non-canonical spin-off that plays off of nostalgia, uses practical effects and has characters with sensical motivations.

I'd take a million AvPs over another Covenant.
I was talking about Prometheus. If we want to talk about Covenant, I have more than enough ammunition in the magazine to fire some shots at that too.Except that they knew it had breathable atmosphere because they scanned the planet and notice that it was far more suitable for life than the planet they were sent for originally, which is why the captain even decided to touch down in the first place.
No wonder you hate the movie when you've got to make up reasons to dislike it.

It's perfectly fine if you like Covenant - I wish I did too.Also if you're going to complain about practical effects at least know there was a ton of practical work done on Covenant, including suits and puppetry, it was just often overlayed with CGI.
Covenant was way, waaay better than Prometheus.
How so? Most prefer Alien over Aliens.So is placing Alien above Aliens some kind of 2017 fad? The latest "cool" thing to do?
SMH
How so? Most prefer Alien over Aliens.

Is their another one? I feel like I'm missing one. Maybe not. I should walk over to my dvd case and check the quadrilogy. Yeah quad is 4. I know that.
Just kidding.=p
To be honest, you are right, but I think Alien has the slight edge overall when people pick their fave one.
Fair enough
My list:
GOAT: Aliens
Great: Alien
Pretty Good: Prometheus
Okay: Covenant
Awful: Resurrection
Why does this exist? Abort it: Alien 3
This is a great ranking.For me these rankings break pretty cleanly across tiers. I think Alien is far and away the best crafted of the series, but Aliens is ridiculously good as well, and a good companion film.
Scott's new films are interesting for several reasons, but being good movies is not among them.
Great Movies (in order of preference)
Alien
Aliens
Not Very Good but Interesting Movies
Prometheus
Alien: Covenant
Garbage (unranked)
Alien 3
Alien Resurrection
Alien
Aliens (Theatrical Cut)
Prometheus
Alien 3 + videos of Fincher complaining on set
Alien Resurrection
Covenant
Alien >>>>> Aliens >>>> Prometheus >>> Alien: Covenant
And then the rest.
Alien is still superior to everything that has come after it.
