      It's objectively his best. But just like with T1: knowing it is the best doesn't help you preferring a lesser movie.

      Also, 'Terminator' would have been a better title for the movie. Because they're factory made. Calling it 'The Terminator', implies its a special robot, defeating the movies entire story. The only reason why it is special is because it got randomly selected to go through time. It was special because circumstances happened to it. Not because it was unique. Calling it 'The Terminator' means it's about a single one.

    There's a million.
    As far as Clint goes, the Dollars trilogy is top-tier. Outlaw Josey Wales.
    John Wayne's films can be kind of cheesy, but some essentials are: The Searchers, Rio Lobo and Rio Bravo (essentially the same movie, but each good in its own right), True Grit, Rooster Cogburn, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence (great performance by Jimmy Stewart), and The Shootist.
    Shootist is particularly good, as it's Wayne's last western, and one of his last films.
    Understand that the Western was king of the cinema from some of the first motion pictures all the way into the early 60s. There was a slight dip in popularity during WWII and right after when everybody was making WWII movies, but after that, Westerns came right back to the top.
    But then in the late 60s and going into the 70s, westerns gave way to cop movies. Think Dirty Harry and the like. They even tried to make a movie where John Wayne was like old school Marshal on a horse trying to chase down some cowpoke hiding out in the big city. Didn't do so well. Cahill US Marshal, I think. Early 70s. I'm pretty sure Simpsons spoofed it at some point.

    More zoomers should watch westerns. It'll teach you what it means to be a man, instead of watching ethnic horrors and shit trying to convince you to fall in love with trannies and shit.

      Definitely one of his best, not a big Wayne fan due to the local stations over playing him when I was growing up, but this was top notch.

      Shane deserves a watch, it's a classic. Once upon a time was good but a hard watch for me, not sure if it was the pacing or just.my general dislike of the Fonda clan. The story itself was good though.

      It's a genre Id like to see a return to in general.

      Probably, the only movie ever where I saw a steamboat being used with a watermill at the back, or whatever you call it. IIrc they were specifically designed to get through shallow waters. Louisiana or something. It seems like a forgotten thing, just like hoverboats.

          Maybe they were designed to evade the law. Although I can't see gambling being illegal during that era. I could just wiki it. My point was that it looks like a great setting to shoot a movie on. Boat, era and environment. But this is the only movie I can recollect that did it.

                >James Cameron revealed in a recent interview with The New York Times that he shut down 20th Century Fox executives when they tried to battle him over a key sequence in “Avatar.” Cameron rejected the studio’s notes to make the film shorter and to trim the movie’s flying sequences by telling executives that he directed “Titanic” and thus paid for a large portion of the 20th Century Fox studio lot.

                >“I think I felt, at the time, that we clashed over certain things,” Cameron said. “For example, the studio felt that the film should be shorter and that there was too much flying around on the ikran — what the humans call the banshees. Well, it turns out that’s what the audience loved the most, in terms of our exit polling and data gathering. And that’s a place where I just drew a line in the sand and said, ‘You know what? I made ‘Titanic.’ This building that we’re meeting in right now, this new half-billion dollar complex on your lot? ‘Titanic’ paid for that, so I get to do this.’”
