I agree with this
don't view italian job as a remake, but a film where the characters take their inspiration from the original film.

Aliens is fucking superb as tense action films go. Different beast to the first film. I rate the 3rd one too, which not many people do. It's only poor compared to the first couple.

Make sure you watch the Special Edition of Aliens.
It adds plenty to the original. I like Resurrection too, the first AvP was just about bearable, but the second one is comparable to the feeling you get waking up after an evening of gentle self-harm.

I prefer Aliens to Alien
With Pretador, the best actioner of the Eighties IMO.

I like Predator 2 more than the first one.
I think I might have seen the first one far too many times. I like the urban setting of the second one.
