Aliens is my favorite of that bunch but Predator is a very close second. I think most people can see the flaws of MMFR but are amazed that someone had the balls to make this movie in today's market. As that article mentioned, movies like this just aren't made now and really weren't made too often before either. Lots of violence, action, and movement with very little filler. How many movies keep their focus and don't try to add cash by appealing to almost every demographic? Just an incredibly focused and tight movie overall.

I gotta be honest with you, while I was in the theater waiting for mad max to start the new terminator trailer played and I turned to my buddy and said "Fuck dude. I didn't realize quite how amazing T2 was until just now. T2 looked better than that shit show molten metal we just saw. T2 might be the greatest movie ever"

I think Independence Day needs to get some kind of honorable mention.
I mean, it's notgood, but it's also amazing.
T2 and the Matrix both changed movies forever, I feel.
I haven't actually seen Aliens in a very, very long time. I usually just watch the first one.

Movies I've had around a long long time.
Star Wars 4/5/6. Mad Max and Road Warrior ( I saw all but first mad max in theaters as a kid with my dad including road warrior when I was 9 ).
Holy Grail. The Ice Pirates. Fight Club and Rocky Horror picture show. Robotech series.
Some of these I repurchased digitally or on blu ray since I don't have Beta/VHS/hell even DVD players anymore.
Aliens and others I never bought on anything but do own in my VUDU digi collection. Although I only purchased Alien and Aliens, the rest can rot in hell as far as I am concerned. I also love Predators( with Adrien Brody ) and the first Predators with AS.
Other movies I rewatch time to time is Demolition Man, V for Vendetta, Das Boot, Die Hard ( first one ), We were soliders and Christmas Vacation.

In the literary sense, Nux is the main protagonist of the movie, because he's the only one that goes through a full character arc. He begins the movie as a member of a suicide cult, his only motivation a deathwish. He experiences love, and learns the value of his own life and the value of other's lives. Then, with that knowledge, he chooses to die a meaningful death instead of an empty one.

I saw T2 pretty recently, those effects do not hold up, they look like garbage. I mean, it was like 25 years ago so for its time it was amazing. But it definitely doesn't hold up today.

At least the moon-priestess didn't infect us with the usual gynoterrorist sermonizing right out of the Vagenda koran.

I think I'd kinda seen the trailer online already, but the most facepalmy groanworthy thing about it all was old ass Arnold. If it was at least just a reboot/remake/prequel I could be like, "well that will probably suck". But the Arnold inclusion puts it over the top to "this looks really fucking bad". Between that and Conan the Septuagenarian, I'm guessing Arnold needs some money after all the fall from grace when he got caught fucking his maid.

Saw it, was awesome... it felt very Madmax but not at the same time... but really- EVERY movie had a different feel to it- its just RW made Madmax and an entire genre so that's what most people mean when they say "madmax" - anywho I am glad miller got to do his vison of a "full chase" movie and did it well.
I rewatched all 3 movies this week leading up to it- and was holding my theory in- RW is the telling of the history of what became the "great northern" tribe- and Thunderdome the history of those that became the southern tribe- so I was thinking this would be the telling of the history of an east or west tribe... I kind of was right.
