I remember seeing Frogs back in the day. A lot of people croaked in that movie.
Honestly, it's not worth five bucks. I think I streamed it (no extra charge) as part of our Prime subscription. It was interesting seeing a young Elliott, but..Frogs was in the $5 dvd bin at walmart forever, it was always so tempting, I never looked at it close enough to realize Sam Elliott was in it, that might have been enough for me to pull the trigger on the purchase
Poor Resurrection brings up the rear. There is a lot I enjoy about it. I can never dislike a movie that gives me Ron Perlman and Brad Dourif. Again, I appreciate the way the series has let directors be themselves. But it's messy and a clear rung below the rest.
I think the one thing everyone agrees on is that it is the worst movie. There's always a debate about Alien vs. Aliens and the other four are a real dealer's choice in terms of order (though I feel like Prometheus is probably the most common #3).It just didn't feel like an Alien film. Too much Josh Whedon.

Alien 3 actually does a lot of things right.
Prometheus is now commonly third?! It used to be the "Last Jedi" of the Alien films... Second best film for me. Just saw Romulus, liked a lot of things in the first half, liked the horror-pregnancy at the end (even though I wasn't sure about the resulting failed Engineer), but there's a lot of crap in between. Not sure yet where I'll rank it, I'll need to see it again.I think the one thing everyone agrees on is that it is the worst movie.

My impression is fully due to the people I am surrounded by, be it actually human beings I know or writers/podcasters I read or listen to. It feels to me like Prometheus has big support now. Or perhaps it just has very vocal support. Classic reclamation of a maligned or misunderstood movie. But this is a self-selected group on my part (and FWIW also folks who largely love The Last Jedi). So it is perhaps not representative of the whole ...Prometheus is now commonly third?! It used to be the "Last Jedi" of the Alien films... Second best film for me.

.oO(Noooooooo!!!)I’m afraid you’re part of the mainstream on this one.
Got my TIFF tickets. Not a great year in my opinion, so I am only going to six movies
Caught by the Tides (Jia Zhang-ke--I try to see everything he does)
All We Imagine As Light (Cannes Grand Prix Winner)
Grand Tour (Cannes best director winner--Miquel Gomes)
Harbin (South Korean historical drama)
Paying for It (Canadian movie set in Toronto)
Else (about characters who melt into their surroundings)
Everything else I want to see, especially the other Cannes winners, will be playing in Toronto soon anyway,
