I watched the first three alien films back-to-back at a cinema all-nighter when the third one came out.
They're quite long.

They are,
especially the directors cuts.

I've still not seen the 4th one.
From what I've heard of it, I'm not that bothered.

I saw The Empire Strikes Back at the cinema,
I don't know how much sense this makes because I would only have been 3 when it came out, so whether they were still showing it two years later I don't know, but it was definitely the one where it's revealed that Darth Vader is Luke's father, because I remember asking my Dad afterwards why he isn't called Luke Vader.
