Alien is an amazing film though and I agree it just edges the second one for me. Aliens is an amazing film too.

Now this thread has made me want to play Alien:Isolation. It passed me by on its release.
While I can agree that the skating across the table part looks stupid now, the rest of that scene still holds up incredibly well and is still one of my favourite movies scenes of all time.

Also can't recommend Isolation highly enough. Drags a little at the end, but is otherwise a perfect Alien game.

Edit: Aliens is the superior film...just
