I've never seen any of the Alien movies :/ I have heard of them though :) I'm watching Jurassic Park for first time right now.. I'm catching up on old movies then :) it's not a very good movie though :/ the guy from Senfeild show is in it and the Pulp Fiction guy. Everything else is boring. oh ... anyway , I'll get to Alien movies eventually.
Uh - - I replied already to your answer, Jaimie! Did someone find it offensive and remove it? I hope you weren't offended. PLOT SPOILER!!! JURASSIC PARK!!! my original comment involved a fence and the boy.
Also, my original comment said I didn't like "Jurassic Park," either. And if you watch the Alien movies, do watch them in the order I listed them in my question - - that's the order they were made and released. :)

jurassic park is an awful movie! Lol obviously I gave up on it half way. I guess I missed allot of movies that were popular when I was a kid and that one was on the list... I'll tackle the alien movies next veg out day, Thanks:). ( veg out day means hungover as fook) ;)
I so agree with you! :) I love that original "Alien" - - like I said already, I like it the best of the three. (And I think the movie franchise should have ended with "Alien3.")
I like the first two, I don't remember the third though. I guess it sucked too much for me to care enough to remember. Then there was that one awful one, I think it was called Resurrection, I like to watch it just to make fun of it.
"Alien Resurrection" was really bad for me, too, and I stopped watching any of the Alien movies after "Alien Resurrection" - - it came out after "Alien3."
Yeah, most people with whom I've talked really dislike "Alien3" - - I found it a dark, poetic film. (To me, it lacks the suspense and scares and high-intensity action of the first two movies but I love it. That's what I like about all three of the movies I mentioned - - all three movies are very different in style to me.)

Hi, carbonproduct! I like "Aliens" a lot, too. All three movies are great to me. My ranking has very slight variance among the three. I thought the addition of the girl "Newt" in "Aliens" was great - - and that actress was great in the role to me. And Bill Paxton - -I think that's his name; my mind blanks out at the moment -- great stuff! Thanks for answering! :)
I had only seen Aliens when someone told me I should see Alien, claiming it to be superior. I had the chance sometime later to see Alien and watched it. I liked it but still felt like Aliens was more entertaining.
I see your point! To me, "Aliens" took "Alien" and made an excellent slam-bang adventure/high-action/horror/sci-fi film! To me, "Alien" is more of an atmospheric, dark, monster-stalking-somewhere, sci-fi horror. Much more quiet in its intensity as opposed to "Aliens" ' in-your-face-, all-he**-is-breaking-loose movie. If that makes sense. :) And "Alien3" is a like a symphonic poem to me in its vision.
What I like about all three movies is their differences.
Off-topic - - "Beach Music" STILL lingers in my mind. What a great book - - few books stay with me this long! And remember me complaining at one point about the one character -- the young guy who became a priest - - and his dad? Their relationship still rings strong and true, even though painful. I may have wanted them to have had a better relationship much sooner but it rings "real," for sure. I'll always be grateful that I saw your post about that book here. That's why I read it, your recommendation.

Thanks Welby. It is my favorite book and Conroy is my favorite author. I just bought a new hardback copy. I could not find mine; probably let someone borrow it.
Those are the Spice Girls, I think? :) Maybe not. The second one from the left (the blonde) looks like Geri Hallowell. I only know her because I bought one of her solo albums and it's very good!
