"Alien" breaking new ground in an era of the "Star Wars" space serial, made it a very important and satisfying film for me. Ripley is a terrific woman character and hero.
"Aliens" ramped it up to blockbuster movie speed, and as such it seems more like entertainment with the message "...at least they don't #%$* their own kind."
Love both for different reasons, but feel "Alien" is a better work for its deft and subtle control of time and environment.
