I have to go with Ripley if only for the fact of her being capillary challenged like me in "Alien 3"

So which movie do you like the most.

I would like to point out that the name is H.R.Giger

Terminator 2: Judgment Day is one of my favourite movies, but if I have to choose between these first movies, I'll go with Alien.

OK, I'll go with The Terminator, then. I prefer to stay on the earth instead of going into space... (well, I could contradict myself here with other SF films that I like...). Between these two I prefer the action packed Terminator over the horror tinge of Alien. And there's more humour in the first...

I like The Terminator, but Alien by far. It's one of my favourite horror films and indeed I think the atmosphere it creates is incredible.

I have a trailer remake of The Terminator that I'd like to share, but some would not appreciate it (they turned it into a love story between the Terminator and Sarah Connor).

Not an easy call considering the pace and editing of Terminator, maybe the best action movie ever.   But I think Alien better stands the test of time, still looks great, and isn't stuck in its era like Terminator is.
