What made you a fan?

I've seen from Resurrection on up.  I was technically alive for Aliens and Alien 3, but I would've been almost one exactly for Aliens. 

I very nearly went nearby cinemas and watched Alien on the rerelease for the 45th anniversary since they actually had it playing.  But by the time I realized it was actually there, I was already committed to doing something else on its last days in theater. 

That is the closest I've ever come to being able to watch any of the OGs in theater.

I was alive for Resurrection onwards (born in '94) but have only seen from Predators on in theaters (plus Alien twice during rereleases), minus Prey for obvious reasons.

I was alive when P2 and A3 came out but was too young to see it in theaters. Same for Resurrection. I went for AVP and everything else until Covenant.

Same, although I skipped The Predator.

Yeah I meant until The Predator. Wonder why I got that wrong

I was 16 and still at school when Resurrection was released and I got into see it using a fake I.D, and I'm talking a "McLovin" level of fake I.D.
My proudest moment, I felt like Jason Bourne or something.

We all did mate.

But it's a bit like being a Nam veteran. Those that weren't there won't understand, and those that were don't talk about it.

And then there are some that were draft dodgers.

I was invited to go see it with friends and specifically asked to see something else instead.

Shane Black directed it. I had to go see it. Lesson learned.
