I saw Alien the first weekend it was released in theaters. Even after all these years I've never forgotten the first time I saw the Nostromo landing on LV-426.

That movie has not aged one bit and is still as terrifying.

One of the few scifi flicks that have aged really well.
The sequels suck tho.

And Aliens 3 is great. The sequels suck? Yikes.

Gotta disagree with that though, Alien 3 is one of the worst movies I've ever seen. It does have killer visuals though.
One Of The Worst...

Aesthetically, it was pretty amazing.

Alien: A great horror film and a great scifi film. Along with Aliens, Star Wars, 2001: ASO, Blade Runner & Star Trek, Alien is a corner stone of scifi art. 90% of scifi design is derivative of the films I just mentioned.
Aliens: Another truly great scifi film and one of my favorites of James Cameron. While not as refined and cohesive as Terminator 2 (IMO, James' most matured and polished work, but not my favorite) it boasts great story, pacing and set pieces and shows us Cameron's great eye for composition and practical effects.
Alien 3: I wouldn't say it's "terrible", but it's not exactly good either. It's flaws are more subtle than, say, Alien Resurrection. The film had a difficult production, things happen. The idea of Aliens coming from non-human hosts was neat. However, going back to the single alien, mysterious horror route is a hard road after the hardcore alien porn that is Aliens.
Alien Resurrection: Terrible. Some neat ideas, but very poorly executed. This is the first time the alien franchise had a "movie", the previous installments are "films".
AVP: Fuck you. Get out of my house.
Oh Yeah. Prometheus.

Prometheus was another film that's allegorical of modern society: insipid and pretty.

As the Alien blog linked in that imgur gallery reveals, a lot of the ideas that went into Prometheus were envisioned and cut for Alien/s/3. The big pyramid, the heiroglyphs, the mixing of DNA, etc.
Trouble is they were all kind of thrown into Prometheus at the same time, and "integrated" by the master of throwing shit at the wall and hoping you won't notice what sticks, Damon Lindelof.
