Because it is a great movie. Maybe if you watched the whole movie, you'd at least have a valid argument.

I seriously couldn't even stand it. None of the characters were even remotely likeable; they were all just big bad ass emotionless marines. It had absolutely no plot other than: We lost contact with a colony so we're checking up on it. And if no one believed ripley than why the hell did they send in a squad of marines with enough weapons to supply a small army.
Why did you like it so much?

Because when they lost contact they believed that what Ripley said was true

Come on. How could you not like Hudson?
As for what's so great about the film?...From the moment they land it's just non stop tension. From the initial search of the area during daylight hours when they find Newt. To what i believe is one of the most tense scenes in film history. the "they cut the power" scene right up to the "that can't be that's inside the room" scene.

It's one of the most pulse-pounding action movies of all time. The Space Marines were emotionless because that's what warriors are supposed to be.
Seriously, the second half of the movie is very memorable. I hghly suggest that you give it another try.

Aliens by far for me.Reasons:
1. Aliens is the best film amongst the list 🙂.
2. All the other films that preceded the movies in the list were all very good to start with, and the difference wasn't that great. Aliens to me was vastly better than Alien.
Aliens is better than The Godfather: Part II...?
I love Aliens, and it's the perfect sequel to Alien in many ways, but... Godfather: Part II is one of the best films of all time, in my opinion. Aliens is really just a gung-ho, sci-fi action film. A really ****ing good gung-ho, sci-fi action film, but no Godfather...
I think I'm going to have to go with Aliens on this one, Godfather 2 is probably my second but I was always uneasy about the death of Fredo I would've preferred he blow up his wife and then piss on her remains...but whatever. The rest of them aren't even in the same league for me. Maybe terminator 2, but RoTK I've seen to the point of blowing my brains out, TDK isn't a movie I like to watch more than once or twice, though everyone seems to love it I thought that ESB was horrible compared to the other two original star wars films and I don't like the Bourne series...
