MemberChestbursterMar-29-2013 10:14 PMI would suggest the director's or assembly cut for every movie and if oyu really want to watch avp get the unrated ones.

MemberOvomorphMar-30-2013 10:30 AM1) Prometheus
2) Alien (theatrical)
3) that's it, stop watching and quit while you're ahead!!
Honestly, I wish I could forget the rest existed. Cameron's sequel was okay (yes, just okay) but the sequels that followed were embarrassing.

I totally agree with you genjitsu17. Its the best way.
@fleshvessel
Yours is the 'purest' way to watch the alien franchise....but i still like 2 and 3(except the queen).
"how do you feel?"-" great, next stupid question"

MemberChestbursterMar-31-2013 6:55 PMI like how your list just ends so abruptly with Prometheus. there is no other way to put it, but still funny :)

MemberOvomorphMar-31-2013 9:28 PMhehe. i just cant stand alien resurrection and the AVPs. Cant even make it through any of the aforementioned films. I would put prometheus at the beginning, but i really enjoy taking in the first 3 and then punctuating them with prometheus. 3 really strong films (79, 86, 12) and a pretty good/underrated film (alien 3).

MemberChestbursterMar-31-2013 11:01 PMvery true. I agree completely

MemberFacehuggerApr-02-2013 5:04 PMIt depends on the mood for me. Some times I watch the theatrical versions other times the Directors cut/special editions.
1) Alien (both)
2) Aliens (both)
3) Alien 3 (both & bootleg workprint)
I ignore Prometheus, Alien Resurrection and the AVP movies.

MemberOvomorphMay-05-2013 5:04 PM1. Prometheus
2. Alien theatrical cut
3. Aliens special edition
4. Alien 3 assembly cut
I thought Alien Resurrection was okay. Their are good moments in it but not the rest of it.
Including the horrible statement about Weyland being bought out by walmart - ugh!
AVP and AVPR they don't exist at all.

MemberOvomorphMay-12-2013 9:36 AMOrder is easy with this one for me...
1. Alien - theatrical cut
2. Aliens - special edition cut
3. Alien3 - assembly cut
4. Prometheus - theatrical cut with some deleted scenes added back in (alternate beginning, Vickers-Janek scene, alternate end battle scene would be the main ones)
I wouldn't bother watching Alien Ressurection or either AvP movie. As far as I am concerned they are not canon. End of.
