I mean.. they are different genres really. Alien is Sci-Fi/Horror in its prime and outside of The Thing, I can't think of any Sci-Fi/Horror that really captures the feel better [although I think The Thing is the better Horror while Alien is the better Sci-Fi]. Aliens is Sci-Fi/Action with a bit of Horror thrown in to really let it stand out.

I think, based on personal preference, I prefer Alien over Aliens for its 'feel'.

Aliens. I liked Ripley and Newt's dynamic and that the android proved himself to be a reliable companion by the end of it. I also liked the alien queen design. Huge. Terrifying. Powerful.

Alien is also great of course. I'd consider them both equal in quality but different enough that it is easy to see why someone would like one more than the other.

Overall, Alien but mostly because it was first and therefore a fresh experience. The same is true of Terminator, Die Hard, Star Wars '77, etc... The first time you're introduced to the characters, setting, storyline, and style of a movie it has a greater impact than later sequels. Aliens was unique in that the franchise changed styles from horror to action, so it's very close however I have to go with the original in this match today.

@skywalker95: as much as I love aliens, I’m not the biggest fan of the direction Cameron took with the xenomorphs. He totally got rid of any mystery surrounding them and basically made them giant alien ants. I’m going with Alien

Alien is excellent. It has a slow burn with an excellent, eerie, creepiness that I love.

Aliens you could say was the natural course of things. It was the perfect sequel. If no more Alien movies would have been done, these two films would be legendary films by themselves and just flawless.

Watched them both back to back last night in full for the first time and I honestly preferred Aliens. It's more entertaining, action packed, just as intense and terrifying, and the climax battle was far better. We barely saw the Xenomorth for most of the time in Alien.

Original Alien, not a fan of turning horror series into action.

Isolation > both

Isolation is the best piece of media this IP have gotten since its inception, true.
