80’s Movies Monday, Best of the Best: The Terminator

The Terminator (Special Edition)Bald Man Cory Aldrich of Baldiness and Sheila Livingston of Medium Dreams both picked the Terminator for their favorite 80’s movie. Here are their thoughts.

First up, Cory:

Let’s start with The Terminator. It defined the action genre, and successfully merged it with sci-fi. So many one-liners lines made their way into the pop lexicon. It made a legend out of Arnie. And who would have thunk that Schwarzenegger would one day become “The Governator?”

And Sheila’s thoughts:

Oh, I must second The Terminator. I fell in love with Michael Biehn and wanted to be Linda Hamilton. The latter actually more so in Terminator 2:Judgment Day when she was incredibly buff and strong but, alas, that came out in 1991.

I really wasn’t a Terminator kinda girl, so, as is often the case, I have nothing intelligent or entertaining to add here. ;)

Thanks, Cory and Sheila, for participating!
