Yeah well I am so old I saw Aliens in the cinema on it's initial release and I am sure the sentry guns were in it, but that could be false memory syndrome. I've watched it quite a few times since then. And there are weird censorship policies in NZ, Saturday Night Fever was about 10 minutes long.

The sentry guns were in the director's cut only. I am pretty sure they were never in the cinema or original video release.

The extra bit at the start with Newt's family... Not sure if it adds or detracts from the film. Aliens was never supposed to be a suspense film like the first one. It's got elements of it, but it's basically an action film with bits of thriller thrown in.

My list would be:

Aliens, Alien, Alien3, Resurrection.

I don't think Alien3 was as bad as most people make it out to be, but Resurrection was Poo (with a capital P).

Yep, weren't in the original.

I think Alien is the better film in terms of quality, but Aliens is still a great action film.
