My vote? The Terminator.
Arnold was pure machine - somehow Armold is able to portray that pure cold killing machine much better than Robert Patrik in T2 (not that RP did a bad job, because he did quite well).
John wasn't bothering me - I really hated that whole buddy-buddy thing with the reprogramed Terminator.
Linda Hamilton was gorgeous - not that crypt keeper-esque man beast that was in the second movie. I understand that her character was changed by the experience in the first movie, and her character's physical change was due to her being prepared for the future attack, but this somehow was too much for me. It took away the sensual part of the movie. That is a must for a guy's action flick.
The story line was very original for a mainstream movie - a killer robot from the future...well you know. Somehow the introduction to that amazing reality was so mindblowing that it softened the blow of T2 for me. The writing was really good. It had this really intense feel to it, even during the boring times.
I was a little kid when I first watched The Terminator - nothing will ever scare me or amaze me like this movie did. When I saw T2, I was already becoming cynical and bored with hollywood. That in itself made the movie less interesting.
IMO.
