6. Aliens (1986)

Brilliant sequel to one of the best scifi movies made. More action based than the original and less bloody and contains superior special effects compared to these "modern day" game cut-scene CGI movies. I myself prefer the theatrical cut, it´s good to leave something for the imagination and everything need not to be explained by showing how certain things happened. Nevertheless both versions are great, everybody chooses their own favourite.
