I have not watched Romulus yet, but I will soon.


Alien (1979)

This movie has many incredible scenes, but I think my favorite is actually not so much what you see but what you dont. And Lambert's dying cries are terrifying. You mind fills in the blanks, and it is just nightmare inducing, especially as a kid first seeing it.



Aliens (1986)

Obviously it's when they are first attacked by the Xeno's. This is some of the GOATliest action in movie history. Dudes plummeting to their death while ON FIRE FTW.

LETS ROCK!



Alien 3 (1992)

I actually like this movie alot. Much more than anything that came after it by a large margin. I like the scene when Dillon decides to stop running and fight the Xeno hand to hand. The berserk rage of the Xeno....The way it was shot is amazing, and his parting words to Ripley is "God will take care of you now, sister!"



Alien Resurrection (1997)

I unfortunatley could not find the scene online, but my favorite scene is when the scientists and General Perez are discussing Ripley's clone having memories, and then they stop talking in awe as they look at the container containing the Queen. This was a really good scene. Unfortunatley this movie is pretty dumbed down from the others, and the artsy fartsy self indulgence at the end really is embarassing!

Promethus (2011)

Scenes like this make me wish the movie as a whole. I like how the Engineer clearly understands whatever it was that David was saying to him, but he just did not give two shits and pulls his head right off. Destroyed everyones hopes in two seconds. All that work for nothing.



Covenant (2017)

I enjoyed this for what it's worth, even though it has the same stupid obvious plot holes as Prometheus. I dont really have a urge to watch it again, but hey, this ending scene here is great. The terror being your last thought is psychologically fucked up.




Aliens baby ! im here for it!!!!!!!!!!!

Ill watch Romulus tonight probably and come back. No Spoilers plz.
 


The cold silence of the ship, the 80's SciFi ambience, the way each actor tells you about their character from the moment they wake up. It's all so perfect.
 
overlooked for obvious reasons the the hybrid alien getting sucked out the port hole at the end of Alien R was always kind of sad. I mean they gave this one the most expressive eyes then did it in like that. I mean actually think about how this one out all of them was the most human and they gave it the most brutal and violent death in the series. The whole thing is fucked up, he shows weakness to his own mother who proceeds to betray him and violently slaughter him.
 
Alien - Exploring the Derelict, one of the spookiest bits of cinema ever made.

Aliens - The arrival at Hadles Hope, again great atmosphere.

Alien 3 - Charles Dance's monolog.

Resurrection - Bum

Prometheus - Shaw's Alien abortion.

Convenient - David's Monolog/Flashback
 
Aliens and alien are perfect. Finding 1 scene is fruitless to put on a pedestal.

Alien 3- the title sequence. Only part that's awesome, scary, and the only time the music isnt awful

Resurrection- that girls ass. THATS IT.

Gonna have to agree, especially with your Alien/Aliens assessment.

Alien 3 - eh, I'm not sure. It's probably been 10 years since I last watched it. And it's not one I watch often.

Alien R - eh, I'm not sure. It's probably been 10 years since I last watched it. And it's not one I watch often.

AvP - When the woman and the Predator team up.

AvPR - eh, *shrug* - I think I saw it once.

Romulus - At the beginning when the ship clicks on and it's just like the original. You could tell, at least at that point, they were trying to make it feel like a legit Alien movie.


And that covers my favorite scene from each Alien movie.
 
I haven’t seen any of the aliens movies.

The whole crew in Aliens is pretty badass. I can't think of many female characters like Vazquez back then.



From the first movie I think I'd have to go with the android reveal, great scene.

I remember when I first watched it as a kid, and when they find out some of their people were still alive, Vasquez says "then we go back in there and get them!"

I thought this is a BAD BITCH right here. Fuck that, I would never!

And then Ripley is all "You CANT help them, right now they are being cocooned just like the others"

My 6 year old mind was filling the blanks and it was fuckin terrifying.

Quentin Tarantino said he went to go see it and the moment where Burke puts the two Facehuggers in the room with Ripley and Newt terrified the audience...and when Hicks burst through the window to save them, everyone in the crowd got up and cheered.

Yeah she was next level. Ripley was a very strong female character for that time, Vazquez was practically Rambo.

These are the only movies I actually like, and have no real problems with. Sure Alien 3 could have been more than what it was, but I still enjoy what we ended up with. It never gets full blown stupid like the movies that come after.

I agree the other films are not as good as the first 3. The third one is flawed but still good.

Also the Alien in Alien 3 seems so much more hostile than the one in the first one. When its finally out in the open at the end of the movie, it's just berserk with rage, which is one of the cool things about the Alien Isolation game. They paid attention to that aspect. The Alien in the first movie was obviously limited in its movement, but the Alien in the third movie was able to do more and to quote one of the guys running from it

"This thing is REALLY pissed off!"
