The ALIEN movies are among my favorites, for sure – at least the first two. But I like all of them, to a greater or lesser degree. I’m not as into it as I am into STAR TREK, for instance, so Thor, I guess my interest in the ALIEN franchise is at about the same level as your interest in STAR TREK, and vice versa. 😉

I do have both the DVD and Blu-Ray boxes of the first four films, and upgraded to 4K discs of ALIEN and ALIENS as soon as they became available. For the others I’ll probably be content with streaming them when I want to watch them again.

I was scared out of my pants the first time I watched ALIEN as a youngster, but now, of course, I enjoy it for the great piece of filmmaking that it is.

And the scores are up there as well, of course, with Goldsmith’s ALIEN doing an absolutely incredible job of increasing the suspense and dread, and Horner’s ALIENS is full of fantastic high-octane thrills. Goldenthal’s ALIEN 3 is also terrific.

There’s a limit to how much dystopian sci-fi I want to watch, but ALIEN I have no trouble with.

I’m putting ALIEN: EARTH on my “to watch” list of TV shows (although I see that reception is mixed). 😊
