Aliens is rad, no question about it. It's a war movie dressed up in a sci-fi skin. Not aimed at you, Sliver: Getting hung up on the trauma/motherhood angle is a mistake. Just enjoy the plucky heroes and marvel that Paul Reiser.was in it.
As to your last comment: We're going to find out in August! Do yourself.a favour and search out the trailer for Alien: Romulus!

All right, have it your way Yeah_Baby!
I put it to you that Ripley had no more moral authority to kill thr Alien Queen tham the Alien Queen had to kill Ripley. The motive for both was protecting their respective children.
or..Game over, man, game over!
The choice is yours!

Picked up the new release of The Crow on 4K, it's still just as cool as I remember, it's probably the coolest movie ever. Brandon Lee is incredible in it and gives such a great performance as well , he really made this movie. The soundtrack and atmosphere in this is also incredible. If you are burnt out on the latest superhero movies, give this a go, it's one of the best.

I loved both, Alien is #1 because well, it was the introduction of the scariest creature on film ever, Aliens was great also, it needed a faster pace, more aliens and deaths and it delivered.
If I were to rank the top science fiction/horror films I think I would have my top 10 as:
1 - Alien
2 - The Thing
3 - Aliens
4 - Terminator
5 - Predator
6 - Terminator II
7 - Invisible Man
8 - The Fly
9 - Invasion of the Body Snatchers
10- A Quiet Place

The Cube for me is a weird one, I havent seen it in forever so my memory is hazy, but as I recall the budget was low and the acting wasn't great but the premise and the idea was very, very cool and enough to keep you interested.

Ya, absolutely low budget. Not the greatest acting, but the concept, mystery, pacing, and tension is all great. Hypercube steps it up, but the mystery/unknown of the original contributes more to the fear factor.

Yep. Thats pretty much how I remember it. Really cool idea, kind of a shame they couldnt get a budget, but as I recall they did pretty well with what they had.
Unfortunately I cant remember anything about Hypercube.

I've always thought Pandorum (2009) was greatly underrated.
