37 sequels that are even better than the original Aliens (1986)

Ridley Scott's Alien may be an acclaimed horror film, but sequel Aliens – directed by James Cameron – is a stone cold action classic. Gone is the ignorant Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) of the original in favour of a hardened badass who returns to the moon, accompanied by a group of space marines, to take on the alien queen.

How many years between sequel and original? Seven
