Netflix\u2019s latest monthly refresh now puts the franchise\u2019s two most celebrated chapters in one place:<\/p>\n\n

Alien<\/em> follows the seven-person crew of the Nostromo after a distress signal leads them straight to the xenomorph. Nearly 50 years later<\/strong>, Scott\u2019s film still holds up because of its claustrophobic haunted-house-in-space setup, its practical effects, its slow-building suspense, and the way it threads survival, bodily violation, and corporate greed through the story.<\/p>\n\n

Sigourney Weaver\u2019s Ellen Ripley is the center of it, with Tom Skerritt, Veronica Cartwright, Harry Dean Stanton, John Hurt, Ian Holm, Yaphet Kotto, and Bolaji Badejo around her. That cast helped make H.R. Giger\u2019s biomechanical monster one of the most recognizable creatures in movie history, and if you want the series at its best, this Netflix drop is well worth jumping on<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

You can stream Alien<\/em> and Aliens<\/em> on Netflix in the U.S. now. Availability still varies by region<\/strong>, though, and countries like Canada and Australia may have different Alien<\/em> titles on other services, even with newer entries like Alien: Romulus<\/a><\/em> and Alien: Earth<\/em> keeping the franchise active.<\/p>\n
