Aliens

Legend Wins over 65% of all matchups
1986 · Action, Thriller, Science Fiction · James Cameron

71% across 261 head-to-head matchups. Few films on the platform can match that — Aliens has the kind of record that holds up regardless of who it's paired against. A sequel that didn't try to replicate the original's horror — it replaced it with something equally valid and twice as loud. The rare film that gives voters a legitimate reason to prefer it over a masterpiece. It leads both James Cameron films tracked on BingeBracket. 1.4s per vote suggests strong instincts. Most voters arrive at this matchup already knowing which way they lean.

Synopsis

At 47%, the matchup with Alien is the tightest in Aliens's record — close enough to go either way. On the other end of the spectrum: Alien³ at 89% is a comfortable win, while Terminator 2: Judgment Day at 22% is the matchup Aliens can't crack.
