Alien is horror masquerading as sci fi, Aliens is action masquerading as sci fi. I prefer Alien because the alien is terrifying but the motivations of Ian Holm's Ash bring a waking nightmare into reality.
I think the continuity is pretty much gone at this point though and I'm far more keen on a reboot after an extended hiatus than any further sci-fi dream teams or Ridley Scott involvement.
