How do you pronounce the third one?

I love Aliens' dialogue! When I first watched it as a wee teenage lad, I remember laughing the hardest at 'yeah man, but it's a dry heat!', but it was awesome all around.
Alien is just completely different. I can't decide which is my favorite. Usually the one I watched the most recently.
EDIT: guess I'd have to give a slight edge to Alien, because I like the horror genre a bit more than the action genre, but that's just personal preference, nothing objective.

Folks.
Could we please get back to hating on Prometheus and its evil spawn?
Thanks.

Okay, okay. Prometheus isn't and Covenant won't be nearly as quotable as Aliens. Game over, man. Game over.

You always were an asshole, Gorman.

I'm a massive RoboCop fan and I think it's lines are every bit as good a the lines in Aliens, as much as I luuurve Aliens. Clarence Bodicker is THE 90s sci-fi bad guy. Forget Burke, Clarence is the real deal and he has SO many great lines. So, so many. The remake had so much potential but ultimately.. meh.
Terminator 2 though, is a rehash.
It's the SAME film as T1.
1. Two mysterious men arrive. One is the bad guy. Which one?
2. Oh it's that one. He's trying to kill the target!!
3. Chase scene!
4. Escape, chat about the future and end up in the safe space that's not really safe. Oh, the psychiatrist is here.
5. Oh no, the bad guy is here now. Run.
6. Escape again. Phew.
7. Regroup, rearm, make some plans.
8. Do something that's really important for the future.
9. Bad guy is back!
10. Bigger chase, but this time the bad guy gets hold of a superior vehicle by saying "Get out" to the present owner.
11. Crash near an industrial site.
12. Bad guy killed. Phew.
13. Nope, he's back!
14. Ah, this industrial site has a bad guy killing mcguffin!
15. Win!
16. PS. Some left a robot arm somewhere.
How no one else sees this I just don't get. Don't get me wrong, I like T2 but there is no denying this. Terminator 1 is a far superior film. It's lean and mean and the 80s stuff is all great. Tech Noir is an awesome club. It's the kind of place that would ban Brethren on principle.
I also like Alien 3. It has it's faults but the aesthetic is great and the cast was top notch. I don't really get why it gets such grief. Have you seen the 4th one?!
Prometheus was much like the RoboCop remake. It had loads of potential and set things up well. The first 30 minutes still holds up really well and I just do not get how the writers get these stupid ideas. You can explain it away as the team being cheap and rubbish all you want - anyone qualified to do a mission like that wouldn't be as dumb as that. Another great cast though and I think that's what makes it semi-watchable. I'm going to IMAX the new one but I'm not hopeful of anything more than great promise, some great visuals and a great atmosphere which I think is apparent from the trailer. It'll probably be like the Ghost of What Could Have Been, like Prometheus, RoboCop, Elysium, Sunshine and most other sci-fi films.

That's what Alien 5 was going to be about. It wasn't going to be called Alien 5, but I've forgotten the name it was going to have.
Was going to bypass Alien 3 onwards and go in a different direction with Michael Biehen + Newt being in the cast + Sigorney Weaver.
From page 2 Kolya :p.

Hello, left field. Where did that come from? I mean, it's true I can't dance, but still.
