All The Alien And Predator Movies In Order

Okay, let's dive headfirst into the glorious mess that is the Alien and Predator movie universe. Prepare for chest-bursting opinions! Buckle up, buttercups.
The OG Alien Goodness
Alien (1979)
This is where it all started. Pure horror gold! Ripley is the boss. That chestburster scene? Still makes me hide behind a pillow.
Aliens (1986)
More action, more aliens, more awesome. Ripley with a flamethrower? Yes, please! "Get away from her, you B**!" Iconic.
Must Read
Alien 3 (1992)
Okay, unpopular opinion time. I actually kind of like this one. It's bleak, sure. But the practical effects are pretty cool, and Ripley goes out like a legend.
Alien Resurrection (1997)
Cloned Ripley? Underwater aliens? This one’s…weird. Let’s just say it’s divisive. Some love it. Some pretend it doesn't exist.

The Predator Hunt Begins
Predator (1987)
Arnold. Jungle. Invisible hunter. Perfection. “Get to the choppa!” Need I say more? This movie is pure, unadulterated 80s action.
Predator 2 (1990)
Danny Glover takes on the Predator in LA. Not as good as the first, but still a fun ride. Plus, we get a peek inside the Predator spaceship!

When Worlds Collide (Messily)
Alien vs. Predator (2004)
The crossover we (maybe) asked for. Ancient pyramid? Alien and Predator gladiatorial combat? It's…something. Let's just say it has moments.
Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem (2007)
Dark, gritty, and a bit of a mess. A "Predalien" wreaks havoc. Not exactly a cinematic masterpiece, but hey, at least they tried (sort of).
Reboots and Re-imaginings
Predators (2010)
A group of killers dropped on a Predator hunting preserve? Pretty cool concept! Adrien Brody as an action hero? Surprisingly effective.

Prometheus (2012)
Back to the Alien universe, but…different. Exploring the Engineers? Philosophical questions? It's visually stunning but left some fans scratching their heads.
Alien: Covenant (2017)
More answers (maybe)? More horrifying Xenomorph action? Michael Fassbender as a creepy android? Definitely a visually impressive addition to the Alien lore.

The Predator (2018)
Shane Black's take on the Predator. Upgrade Predators? A kid who can understand Predator language? It's… unique. Opinion is divided.
Prey (2022)
This one is fantastic! A Predator hunting in the 1700s against a Comanche warrior? Brilliant! It's a fresh, exciting take on the Predator mythology and a welcome return to form.
So, there you have it! All the Alien and Predator movies in (mostly) chronological order. Which ones are your favorites? Which ones do you secretly love (even though you know you shouldn't)? Let the debates begin!
