    I don't know, while The Terminator is a great film, it's not on the same level as T2. Also, Crusade and First Blood are really popular.

    Killer group - so many of these are better than the other groups I have seen. Ugh. Galipoli and The Killing Fields going down. A sad day.

    Gallipoli is a fantastic film but maybe not as well known or seen as some of these other juggernauts.

    Two that I own but just need to sit down and watch them. Not sure it will happen by Monday, not that it will matter.

    Yeah but to be clear, no film is Terminator 2. T2 is perfection.

    Still, if T2 is a science fiction spectacle, T1 is a tightly directed sci-fi slasher. A case can be made that Arnold was a more menacing villain as T1 than Patrick was in T2.
