Based on my recent AVP review, some have asked exactly how I would rank teh Alien and Predator movies. Here’s how:
1. Alien (theatrical or director’s cut — not much in it)
2. Aliens (theatrical cut ONLY)
3. Predator
4. Predator 2
5. Alien3 (pseudo director’s cut for the DVD set; Fincher not involved, but attempt made to duplicate his first cut. Continuity issues with Bishop notwithstanding.)
6. Aliens (extended DVD cut)
7. Alien3 (theatrical)
8. AVP
9. AVP-R
10 Alien Resurrection (the crappy ending plus Winona cancels out all its other merits)


What was so bad about A/R’s ending again? I can’t remember it.
Picture worth almost a thousand words:
