- Alien vs Predator (2004) At first blush, it might seem strange to start an "Alien" journey with an "Alien" spin-off, but if accuracy is your aim, it's the place to begin.
- Alien vs Predator – Requiem (2007) Honestly, "Alien vs Predator — Requiem" is not a good film, and you probably shouldn't watch it. But, if you're intent on working through each film in true chronological order, it should technically be the next one you watch.
- Prometheus (2012) Scott's return to the "Alien" franchise is set some 90 years after the events of the "AVP" films, from 2091 to 2094. Though Sir Ridley has maintained that "Prometheus" is not a direct sequel to "Alien" but rather contains strands of the same "DNA," it does add to the mythology of the franchise in some fascinating ways.

Anderson, brought to life a "battle of the titans" concept that first originated in a 1989 comic. In the film, humans discover that Predators (aka the "Yautja") have been coming to Earth for thousands of years. Old cults worshipping them would sacrifice themselves to a Xenomorph Queen's brood -- the facehu...
2. Aliens vs Predator: Requiem
Still set in our modern times, and therefore still happening before everything else in the Alien franchise, crossover sequel Aliens vs Predator: Requiem picks up right where AVP left off. An Alien-Predator hybrid -- the "Predalien" -- is now on the loose in a small Colorado town. A skilled, veteran Predator arrives to help clean up the mess and an ample amount of carnage ensues. This would be the final crossover film of the Alien franchise. You can see our guide to the Predator movies in orde...
