3 of the best directors of our generation giving 3 very different, distinct and outstanding takes on a very simple idea.

Don't know about best trilogy, but it is a damn good trilogy.

Aliens is one of my top 5 favorite movies of all time.

It's up there, not the best though.

Easily Top 10, probably Top 5

Alien 3 is depressing as hell and often misunderstood, but it's an extremely underrated movie

In Alien 3, It's the special effects that get most of the flack; it was the beginning of the dawn of the digital age and they relied far too heavily on CGI but I think it's far from a bad movie.

Bull shite fed to a bull and then shite out again.

Alien Resurrection isn't better than any other movie about xenomorphs that doesn't also involve a predator.

if anyone hasn't seen it, the 2003 special edition cuts for both Aliens and Alien 3 make the movies a lot better. They did one for Alien too but it only adds on a few minutes. The one for Aliens ads on like 20 minutes and the one for Alien 3 adds on over 30.

Aliens is my favorite movie of all time. Yes, all time.

Alien 3 sucked balls. It was such a slog, and the beginning was basically just a big frick you to everything that happened in the previous movie. The ending sucked dick too.

i don't look at it that way. the last thing we needed was another big and loud Alien movie with lots of guns and explosions. Killing off Hicks and Newt was really bold filmmaking and raises the emotional stakes for the Ripley character yet again.

Well, you can have your xeno-Ripley and her alien love child.

I'll take the xeno-dog.
