Can I vote for something in-between the first two options? The first was great, and I enjoyed the second two well enough.

As for those of you who skipped the second two Alien movies - oh, how I envy you. The third one was bad, and the fourth one was just shy of Highlander 2 in magnitude of suckiness.

I remember waiting ages for Fox to finally release the special editions of 1 and 2 on their own. For the longest time you could only buy them in the Quadrilogy.

And I definitely agree with an earlier sentiment that the first two Alien movies are equally good in completely different ways.
