Two films whom spawned two franchizes - whom have created an iconic place in film history. Movies with great atmosphere and designs Alien with its H.R Geiger designs and whomever created the Terminator model designs did an awesome job.

So which movie do you like the most.

Not an easy call considering the pace and editing of Terminator, maybe the best action movie ever.   But I think Alien better stands the test of time, still looks great, and isn't stuck in its era like Terminator is.

I like The Terminator, but Alien by far. It's one of my favourite horror films and indeed I think the atmosphere it creates is incredible.

I have a trailer remake of The Terminator that I'd like to share, but some would not appreciate it (they turned it into a love story between the Terminator and Sarah Connor).

OK, I'll go with The Terminator, then. I prefer to stay on the earth instead of going into space... (well, I could contradict myself here with other SF films that I like...). Between these two I prefer the action packed Terminator over the horror tinge of Alien. And there's more humour in the first...

Terminator 2: Judgment Day is one of my favourite movies, but if I have to choose between these first movies, I'll go with Alien.

I would like to point out that the name is H.R.Giger

I have to go with Ripley if only for the fact of her being capillary challenged like me in "Alien 3"
