You should, these don't have the sucky oh-it-was-so-great making-ofs... Here are all the juicy bits about all the crap that's been taking place in the making of these films.
Except AR, that was a smooth ride, but then the movie's a tad sucky.
Nice thread Coolmovies I have got the boxset and its fab, I have not got through all the extras yet perhaps I will take a day out to go through the whole boxset including the movies. And I got the boxset for £20.

Did anyone see the box set that came out last year ?? it had all the alien movies Preditor 1+2 and AVP movie. Thats seven movies with no extres now that sucks
I don't wanna post a link becouse i will get told off sorry
You are. You are missing out on teh wonderful and very open documentaries that discuss all the crap that took place during production. You're missing the nice director's cuts for Alien, Aliens and the wonderfully redeeming Alien 3 DC.
Just depends on how much you like Alien. THe docs are superb!
It compares very well with the 5-disc edition of Blade Runner... or actually that's the other way around.
