Oh no, definitely not, over the course of a few weekends, I'd say.

Resurrection was hardest to watch, the steaming pile of arse ****

YES, ALIEN!
1. Alien (Scott, 1979)
2. Alien³ (Assembly Cut) (Fincher, 1992)
3. Aliens (Cameron, 1986)

OK, ALIEN!
4. Alien Covenant (Scott, 2017)
5. Alien vs. Predator (Anderson, 2004)

COME ON, ALIEN!
6. Prometheus (Scott, 2012)
7. Alien Resurrection (Jeunet, 1997)

LOOK JUST F*** OFF ALIEN, YOU TIT!
8. Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem (Strause/Strause, 2007)

IMHO

Tbh, I quite like almost all of them, even the more frustrating entries. And I'd probably quite like AVP:R if only I could tell what was bloody happening. The darkest movie I've ever seen. Not thematically dark; literally TOO F***ING DARK.

Alien Resurrection wasn't that bad. It had a great cast and some enjoyable scenes.

Requiem was better than the first just for the chilling maternity ward scene

BBC1 and iplayer
Crossfire

Basically a terror attack on a relatively isolated hotel in Spain(loosely based on events in Egypt some years ago I suppose?) Started off brightly enough for us to decide to binge watch it, However, by the time we got into the third and final instalment the end couldn't come quickly enough. Not even the presence of Keely Hawes in the lead role could lift the mood, in fact I would say that was possibly the least convincing role I've seen her in.

Old Henry: - if you like westerns, then watch this. Superbly shot, enjoyable plot with a decent twist, top performances from unkown actors. Enjoy! Thank me later.

Brassic S02. Joe Gilgun is an absolute megastar. One of the UK’s finest actors.

If all he’d done with his career was This Is England he’d still have a better resume than 99% of actors.
