- Alien vs. Predator. Release date: August 13, 2004. Cast: Sanaa Lathan, Raoul Bova, Lance Henriksen. After a failed AvP project which was developed in the 90s, Shane Salerno’s script set the action in (back then) present day: 2004.
- Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem. Release date: December 25, 2007. Cast: Steven Pasquale, Reiko Aylesworth, John Ortiz. 20th Century Fox’s (now Studios) second go at AvP was met with abysmal reviews and a cold shoulder from most fans, although it delivered enough unrestrained nastiness and refreshing in-universe concepts to get diehard fans talking.
- Prometheus. Release date: June 1, 2012. Cast: Noomi Rapace, Michael Fassbender, Charlize Theron. The first of the Alien prequels by original director Ridley Scott starts in 2089 (prologue aside), with archaeologists Elizabeth Shaw (Noomi Rapace) and Charlie Holloway (Logan Marshall-Green) discovering an ancient star map on Earth that sends them – backed by the Weyland Corporation – to the distant moon LV-223, where they arrive in December 2093.
- Alien: Covenant. Release date: May 12, 2017. Cast: Michael Fassbender, Katherine Waterston, Billy Crudup. Once again, the second Alien prequel kicks off with a distant prologue which teases future events and discoveries.
- Alien - June 22, 1979. A cabin fever-style horror film aboard a spaceship, Alien supersedes good genre films as a standard-setting technical masterpiece.
- Aliens - July 18, 1986. Seven years after Alien was released, a sequel was brought to life by young gun James Cameron. Fresh off his success with The Terminator, Cameron rebooted Alien as an action film centered around the same protagonist.

- Alien: Resurrection - November 26, 1997. Another five years later and Alien returned with the final entry in Weaver’s saga, Alien: Resurrection. Written by Joss Whedon (The Avengers), and directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet (Amelie), Alien: Resurrection resurrects Ripley after her fiery sacrifice at the end of Alien 3 in the form of a clone hundreds of years after her death.
