Seems like every feud there’s one answer I consider but discard, and it always turns out to be a bad decision. This time it was _The A-Team_.:mad: I figured Dopers would be more of an _Alias_ crowd.

Yes - and any other closely-spelled answers. Except # 5 Alien and Aliens - they are two separate movies. (I have no idea if anyone answered Aliens. I answered Alien, which is why I’m being specific.)
