I'm the only one so far that I've met who thinks the first one's better. That's my experience and that's why I voted like I did.

Did you grow up next door to Danny Glover or Ruben Blades? I can't imagine anywhere else on planet earth that the Predator sequel is favored over the original.

But it's all good, Man. And welcome to MoFo, where the cool kids hang out.

Not gonna take that bet, that's for sure, not after this reception of it. To be frank, I'll be happy if it doesn't show up. Would rather that somthing like the first Mission Impossible or Eraser took that place.

Outside of your own personal experiences though Predator is definitely the more popular of the two overall.

Good. I'm happy it is.

Yeah, allways thought it odd that Danny Glover would rent that dingy two story house three doors down from me. However, he did mix a proper lemonade.

Thank you

10 Unhelpful Hints:

#10, #5, and #3 are the 3 oldest movies remaining, but not in that order.

#9 has only 3 points less than #8.

#8 is the only movie with a 1-point nomination and fewer nominations than the movie before it.

7 of the Top 10 were released prior to the year 2000.

#6 and #7 have an equal number of nominations.

#5 has the most 25-point nominations.

4 of the Top 10 movies have "The" in the title, but none are in the Top 4.

#3, #7, #9, and #10 do not have any 25-point nominations.

2 pairs of movies in the Top 10 share franchises.

#1 has never left first place since it got there.

BraedenG33 and Sedai
were the only ones to nominate
All Top 10.

teeter_g and Captain Steel
were the only ones not to nominate any of
The Top 10.

Same here. Matrix goes bye-bye from top 4. Also losing Predator 2, gladly, and putting in raiders in it's place.

10 Mad Max: Fury Road
9 The Dark Knight
8 Kill Bill Vol 1
7 The Matrix
6 Raiders of the lost arc
5 Terminator
4 Predator
3 Terminator 2
2 Aliens
1 Die Hard

I think it's pretty obvious by this point what my number 1 is.

I think it deserves the top spot for being that sort of non-stop action movie, and when I think about it, the first movie that comes to mind besides it is Speed.

Seeing as he allready knows the ranking, is this a slip of the tounge, or is he just stating an opinion? What do you think people?

Admittedly, I did change the wording from "earns" to "deserves".

The Gunslinger45

You talking to me?

My List: 11
Seen: 79/90

The Road Warrior was my number 8. At one time it was my all time favorite movie. It gave me my love of post apocalyptic fiction, pretty much gave the template for a lot of post apocalyptic movies and video games, and is still one of the best sci fi action movies ever made.

I actually did not vote for Seven Samurai. Now the movie has FANTASTIC action elements, I considered it more of an epic then anything else. Hence why I did not vote for any of the LOTR movies, Ben-Hur, etc. Or movie I love that do have action scenes in them, but just never felt like action movies like Taxi Driver, Blade Runner, or Heat. But I am very happy it got the love it did regardless.

I look forward to the top 10. I should have 6 out of the next 10 on my list.

1. Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom
5. The Avengers
6. Dirty Harry
8. The Road Warrior
9. Desperado
13. Mad Max
14. Lethal Weapon
15. Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl
21. Demolition Man
22. The Raid: Redemption
23. Escape from New York[/quote]

I think it's absolutely ridiculous that Rambo: First Blood Part II didn't make the list (it didn't, right?), but figures, considering this mediocre crowd.

And the fact that Mad Max: Fury Road is in the Top 10? With a possibility of being #1? Again, figures, but beyond major yuck, to put it extremely lightly. In fact, there's no light at all.
