The first four films in the franchise, including Ridley Scott’s original 1979 space thriller and James Cameron’s action-packed 1986 sequel, can be found on Hulu and Starz, but here you’ll find the rest of the xenomorphs, hypocrites and, of course, kick-ass heroine Ellen Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) ).

In David Fincher’s dark, divisive threequel, Ripley crash lands on a planet called Fiorina 161, whose only inhabitants are former inmates of a maximum security prison. Charles Dance, Pete Postlethwaite, Brian Glover and Charles S. Dutton star in what is perhaps the most gritty setting in the entire franchise. It also features one of the series’ greatest shots: the drooling alien corners a terrified, bald Ripley… and then decides to leave her alone.
