Aliens

Aliens (1986)
Dir: James Cameron

Ripley and a group of marines investigate the loss of contact with a colony on planet LV-426.
James Cameron's superb sequel is every bit as good, if not better, than the original. It has an excellent cast and well fleshed out characters that you really care for. The action and effects are amazing, and the aliens never looked better. Credit must go to the director for a truly spectacular achievement.
