...And I hate to admit it, but Predator. The problem is I saw it a bunch when I was little, and to little kid me it was an interplanetary battle of the bad asses. I love the gently caress out of it, and I didn't really notice the underlying goofiness. Then I didn't see it again until about a year ago when I realized it'd been decades since I'd seen it last. I was all stoked to watch it again, but couldn't make it halfway through because it was like wading neck deep in cheese. I've tried a couple times since, but I actually kind of hate it now.

The first couple of acts of the movie are deliberately cheesy and over the top typical 80s action fare, the reason why the movie stands up is that the latter acts completely demolishes the macho idiocy that dominated the start of the movie. Arnie may have defeated the enemy, but the point is that now he knows better; he's an ugly motherfucker too.
