I have to say Aliens. Alien is monumental and original. But Aliens does something so opposite of Alien and nails it so good, it's just beyond beautiful. The queen Alien in itself is a masterpiece, James Cameron was showing people how to make an epic action film. It's too good.

Yup. The Warriors, 48 Hours, produced and wrote Alien, wrote The Getaway, Streets of Fire, Last Man Standing, Red Heat, Extreme Prejudice :salute:

I wanna say I remember reading somewhere that he worked for Sam Peckinpah for a time in the 60s.

Walter Hill was part of that 70s wave of cinema. Legend, in the same class as all the other directors/screenwriters of the 70s and 80s.

Warriors, 48 Hours, Alien? :wow:

Yeah he wrote the getaway for Peckinpah. May have done other stuff but that’s their big collab. Love Walter hill

I'm probably the only one who prefers terminator 1 over 2. I liked the horror aspect over that kiddie shyt in 2

Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven
No way is house party 2 better. On what grounds?
No grounds... I went back and watched the second one again.. They went from cool regular dudes throwing a jam... To sound effects and outlandish scenes and a terrible plot. If it wasn't for the fact that everyone thinks of it for the pajama party, nobody would talk about it

And house party is a top 3 movie FOR ME.. I liked the others as a kid.. As an adult, only the first one holds up

I agree that House Party 2 isn’t better than the first and I have no opinion on Child’s Play.

But Bad Boys? It wasn’t even good when it came out. It was just okay.
