Die Hard is a better action film.
So is Aliens. So is Predator. So is First Blood.

Hell, John Wick is better, even. T2 gets top 10 but it's certainly not the best, especially at being an action movie.
>>
>>71587691
Ooh, I dunno. I'd call T1 a science-fiction more than a horror.
Like, Alien leans more towards the horror side of scifi-horror, and T1 leans more towards the sci-fi side of scifi-horror.

I reckon, anyway.

T2 is good but Predator is the far better action flick. Commando too, Arnie has a lot of other ones that top it action wise.

Commando is a plain compared to every other title mentioned

Predator doesn't have that much full blown action when you get right down to it. It's much more of a slow burn leading to the final showdown.

A lot of movies nowadays wouldn't present this scene so simply and elegantly. It's almost old school filmmaking, 1920s swashbuckling movies, 1950s westerns, where you see stuntmen do stuntwork and not CGI monstrosities. Another anon mentioned it, but these films seem more tactile and visceral because there wasn't 25 years of powercreep and trying to top the last.

Here's mine from a quick googling

The Raid, Fury Road and maybe I'd go with Dredd but I'll have to watch it again. Google also says Inception is an action movie and I think it's as good as the movies mentioned, by the standard of the action movies, but it's not an action movie.

28 years old here. Terminator 2 had a massive presence in pop culture, from Arnold being everywhere, to even childrens toys and childrens shows from spoofing it for almost a 5 year period. It was just the right movie at the right time.

I don't pay too much attention to people fighting over what is better. Terminator or T2. They're completely different movies, both told by the grand master of action story telling.

Terminator was better edited and had a tighter script, but Terminator 2 does pretty much everything better. T2 and Predator are always going to be my favorite movies of all time, but neither of them have a scene so well cut and mixed like this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTs8YnKfSsU

The pacing of the cuts, the audio mixing fading out the club music slowly. It's just perfect, and T2 doesn't have anything that impactful in it.
