I not only own it on DVD... I have it backed up on another DVD... incase it breaks. Besides, Terminator is not a childhood favorite movie.

Still, you have to give Bicentennial Man props for an actual robot suit. In Iron Man, they could atleast make a suit. There doesn't need to be a guy on a wire, no blue screen... just A SUIT FOR ME... please!
