Joshua Meyer at \/Film decided he would come up with his list of Every Alien Movie Ranked From Worst To Best<\/a>.\u00a0 Using just his list (he considers Aliens vs Predator<\/em> a “side-series”), here are my rankings and thoughts on each…<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0 Aliens<\/em>: is my choice for the best of the series.\u00a0 I won’t argue against Alien<\/em> being #1 though.\u00a0 Either of these two films are heads and shoulders above all that followed.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0 Alien<\/em>: will be the #1 choice of many and there is a strong case for it to be first.\u00a0 Without Alien<\/em> we’d have no Aliens<\/em> (or all that followed), even if no sequel(s) were ever made, Alien<\/em> would still be considered a great film.<\/p>\n

3. Alien Resurrection<\/em>: as my third choice will probably surprise a lot of folks.\u00a0 I’m\u00a0 a fan.\u00a0 I like the supporting cast (Winona Ryder, Ron Perlman, Gary Dourdan, Dominique Pinon, Michael Wincott and Dan Hedaya).\u00a0 There’s a comic book feel to the film (I say that in a good way).\u00a0 Alien Resurrection<\/em> is a fun ride (that I’ve taken many times and look forward to again in the future).<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0 Alien3<\/em>: was a let-down.\u00a0 While it wasn’t an Alien<\/em> or Aliens<\/em>, it did have Sigourney Weaver back and David Fincher as the new director.\u00a0 I need to rewatch Alien3<\/em> to see if it has improved with age.<\/p>\n

5. and 6.\u00a0 Alien: Covenant<\/em> and Prometheus<\/em>:\u00a0 Neither of these films resonated with me.\u00a0 They didn’t feel like Alien<\/em> films to me (if that make any sense).\u00a0 I definitely need to give them another viewing.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n
