[CiG]

I've always really dug "The Gift."

 

[Oblivious Maximus]

I was toying with including either "The Gift" or "Lady Godiva's Operation" in the fourth spot but I've always loved "There She Goes Again" so that actually edged them out fairly easily.

[no country for old wainds]

white light/white heat bores the shit out of me tbh. i don't generally like VU in artfag mode although like hbb i do rather like 'the murder mystery', even if it stands out like a sore thumb on the album. iirc the band considered it a total failure lol

 

[CiG]

That might just be my favourite album of theirs.

[CiG]

It's great to see the original Terminator in a list, let alone so high up in the order.

Seeing Arnie as a vicious one-man army antagonist is fucking awesome. He was so brutal.

Seeing Arnie as a vicious one-man army antagonist is fucking awesome. He was so brutal.

That's why its so high on the list. He owns that role and the fact that he's has very little dialogue (setting aside the fact that what little he actually says has gone on to become some of the most famous lines in film history) says a ton about what sheer presence he has. Obviously I respect T2 otherwise it wouldn't have made my list but the first one has an attitude that's hard to beat.

 

[CiG]

Well put, that film definitely cemented his presence in general. Only he could pull such emotionally cold faces like that.

I used to put The Terminator over T2 but I flipped last year on it.
As a kid, The Terminator terrified me.
