Alien Movie Chronological Viewing Guide
The Xenomorph, from the *Alien* franchise, reigns supreme as one of cinema's most terrifying creations. Its acid blood, terrifying double-mouthed maw, and wicked claws practically invented the subgenre of space horror, giving generations nightmares. With *Alien: Romulus* now streaming, you might be itching for a complete *Alien* marathon (including the *Alien vs. Predator* films, which *do* take place on Earth). But what's the best viewing order? We've got you covered with both chronological and release date options.

Alien Movies in Chronological Order
1. AVP: Alien vs. Predator (2004)
Chronologically, the Xenomorph saga begins with *AVP: Alien vs. Predator*. This 2004 film, directed by Paul W. S. Anderson, depicts the Predators' long history of hunting Xenomorphs on Earth, cultivated through human sacrifices to a Xenomorph Queen. The Predators' 2004 hunting trip, needless to say, goes horribly wrong.
PG-13

2. Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem (2007)
Also set in the modern era, *Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem* follows directly from the first crossover film. A Predalien is loose in a small Colorado town, leading to a Predator's intervention and ensuing chaos. This marks the final crossover in the franchise.
