I must admit I did like the first two Alien flicks. The original was a bit more brooding certainly and at the time the stalk 'em till their gone genre hadnt really taken off in sci fi - in fact this movie kicked that whole cycle off. Aliens was a differnt but still interesting kettle of fish - I remeber never being so overwhelmingly on edge at the prospect of what would happen next in a sci fi film before or since.Of the four films you mentioned I have to rate the Matrix highest and confess I liked it. I suspect that response is as much of one of context as much as anything - it hasnt had much competition lately and seemed pretty good in comparison...
