While you might not, most critics and moviegoers alike do in fact consider the first two Terminator movies classics.

If you can't find enjoyment out of T2 then you might want to check and see if your pair is still intact. Seriously though, what movies do you think are great? Let me guess besides PTA, you're a Cronenberg or perhaps Lynch fan? You're so avant bro! Let's hear it, I'm prepared to take you to film school.  |

Agree with Henry that Crash is absolute garbage, but Sixth Sense is kind of cool, not that great but it's a good film. And I don't trust in critics or mass appeal, I enjoy a movie that I can buy the "excuse" of the plot. And Predator, Terminator and Sixth Sense have good excuses for their own arguments, and that's enough. ------------- |

The movies I do like are actually quite mainstream, I just shock people with the breadth and depth of my contempt. Besides There Will Be Blood, the other movies in my top 5 are probably The Godfather Pt. 1 (Part 2 was still good, but I'm the only person apparently who thought it wasn't nearly as good), Fargo, No Country For Old Men, and Dr. Strangelove, but don't hold me to that as absolute truth, I hate best of lists and I don't care that much about movies. I even think Zoolander and Tropic Thunder were funny movies! I liked the blatant audience pandering and wild inaccuracies of The Hurt Locker! See, I'm warm and fuzzy once you get past the spikes. ------------- if you own a sodastream i hate you |

There's no breadth or depth to your contempt at all. Writing something off as stupid because it has explosions in it is actually quite puerile. If you can't tell the difference between a Michael Bay flick and T2 or Die Hard then you shouldn't be talking movies.

Oh no, I have been judged to have bad taste in stupid action movies with abysmal dialogue and characterization, whatever will I do. As far as I can remember, I haven't actually seen any Michael Bay movies, but I have as much desire to see one of his movies as I do to watch Die Hard 2 or the rest of Terminator. So I guess I'll never know which is worse. I'll just have to carry on, somehow. ------------- if you own a sodastream i hate you |

No votes for Junior? C'mon! It has Arnold saying in his best Arnold accent "my nipples are sensitive." Henry is wrong about T2 and Die Hard, but he is right about Eraserhead (and I like most of Lynch's other films) so that makes up for it. -------------

Well like they say, "opinions are like a-holes ..." I find them to be classic well made films and you think noodling around making random annoying noise on guitar is genius. Who's to say?

they are classic well-made films; T2 has some great moments. Unfortunately it was also made toothless by Cameron's taste for sugary sentiment and in-jokes, betraying the spirit of the first film's stark, economic storytelling. As for Die Hard, good when it came out, doesn't hold up as well. On the other hand, the Alien franchise is still thoroughly watchable, IMO, all four films exceptional in their own way though very different. Greatest Arnie movie? Batman and Robin .. just kidding. If we're not including Pumping Iron, it's gotta be Conan |

You talk about betraying a films spirit, then you go on to say all four Alien movies are exceptional? Umm, Resurrection, anybody? This cornball was a total betrayal of the series. Even Joss Whedon (the writer) is embarrassed of this disgrace. Also, if any movie is a bit rough around the edges it's T1. |

yes this is a very valid point, even the second Alien movie veers quite far from the original |
