No movies before 1970 make your list? Aliens certainly makes my worst of all time. Sigourney Weaver is bad enough. BALD Sigourney Weaver is intolerable. I view that one as the precursor of “the guys are all wimps and chicks all kick butt” genre. Dark and boring, too.

It looks like I confused “Aliens”, which I never saw, with “Alien 3”. I suspect this franchise is like the Jurassic Park series, or new items on the Taco Bell menu: same stuff, rearranged or changed portion sizes.

I greatly enjoyed Aliens because of the military tactics. It was straight out of the USMC textbook at the time. Tactics gave changed for sure but it was accurate for CQC at the time.
