I loved watching these - thank you. At first I honestly thought that last, alternate title sequence for "Resurrection" was a joke. Perhaps that's why they didn't use it. It plays a little too much like the "Scary Movie" version of the Alien franchise.

Also worth noting in the ALIENS sequence: the music is the same piece of music used during the JUPITER MISSION section of 2001, for long slow shots of the space craft. Probably Cameron's homage to Kubrick; and it situates the film as a space movie in a broader sense than just as a sequel to Ridley Scott's film. Thanks for posting these

The opening of Aliens is my favorite. It just pumps me up for the things to come every time I watch this great movie (original theatrical version, not the extended version).

I still find the 'Alien' sequence amazing in its simplicity. It's just a tracking shot over a simple matte painting, with the title appearing like hieroglyphs. Very stylish and tasteful. And indeed, the 'Alien: Ressurection' shown here is just totally bizarre and silly. Maybe a poor gone-wrong-attempt to mimic the Jean Pierre Jeunet humor in his earlier films?

I always loved the original with the simplicity of the symmetrical lines appearing. Always found that stunning how original and simple it was. The sound aswell still haunts me about the film. Yikes! Love the Aliens one too! Both just great films in their own right!

The "Alien" and "Aliens" sequences are my favorite, but perhaps it's because I like those movies better as a whole. I think the music in both sequences is key. For Aliens it really has a sinister feeling that builds up to that Aliens logo revealing with the "I" brightly shinning.

The musical cue in Aliens is also used in Patriot Games, the sequence where jack Ryan is invited into the live ops chamber to watch a Special Forces Strike on the terrorist camp.
Haunting and evocative

To the above comment: James Horner composed some brilliant pieces in the 1980s; it's no surprise he reused some of his work in other movies :)

In ALIENS the score at the begining gives also a hint of the militia. Then the second score with the open space and the spaceship, as someone said, is the same as in 2001 and evokes a feeling of lonelyness. ALIEN3 opening is all about the music excellent piece. This 3 movies are all great.
Alien Resurection there is nothing there. Total crap.

None of the last two sequels' opening titles comes near the first two in terms of artistry, style, design and execution.
I do think, however, David Fincher is right in practically disowning Alien³; it is bad. Killing off two of the characters from the get-go who fought so hard to stay alive in Aliens? Unforgivable.
Sigourney Weaver was the best thing about Alien: Resurrection.

SAUL BASS did the Alien sequence - he was and still is the master of this medium. Astonishingly beautiful.
