Aliens is great but it's more of an action movie. I don't find it all that scary to be honest.
Alien 3 divides people because it's kind of an oddball within the series since it's neither action packed nor particularly scary. It was directed by David (Fight Club) Fincher and is more psychological than the other films. The entire thing is very ominous and disturbing in an "Oh shit, we're all completely fucked no matter what we do" kind of way. It starts on a down note, ends on a down note and horrible things happen in between. You either love it or hate it. And if you do hate it, you might always grow to love it later, as I did. Especially if you watch the extended cut.
Resurrection is nowhere near as horrible as people make out but it's by far the worst of the original series and is very much a typical late 90s sci-fi movie. Joss Whedon wrote the original screenplay, so that may either be a good or a bad thing depending on your tastes and what you expect from an Alien movie.
