Also, I just rewatched Predator (just my 2nd viewing since late 80s). It was an action film, and that action wasn't so exciting this time around. It wasnt as good as I remembered. The first time I watched it, I had very low expectations, and the ending surpassed those. I think Commando is a better film. = p
I think the director loves cab scenes. At least the one in Inferno is good as well.

Commando better than Predator? That's a tough pick. I believe I went to see Predator in theaters thinking it would just be a simple Arnold action movie. The monster element surprised me. Commando is just an awesome straight 80s action movie. I would pick Predator in a contest between the two just because of the series. I love Predator 2 as well. Those two movies are like Alien and Aliens to me. None of the sequels can touch them.

I can't remember if I posted this awesome Predator and Aliens collection here.



Also, this guy made a really good Predator poster. But I want to see both Predator 1 and 2 in a mirrored sort of way. He did that with his Blade Runner 1 and 2 posters.

Those are cool posters. Like I was saying I havent seen Commando since the first time. It's on my re-list. I liked Blade Runner 2048, have to say it wasn't as memorable as the first. What'd ya think of 2048?

Quarter Final Results:

7 Evil Dead II (1987)
3 Poltergeist (1982)

6 Night of the Living Dead (1968)
6 Psycho (1960)


9 Alien (1979)
3 A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)

8 The Exorcist (1973)
4 Suspiria (1977)

8 The Thing (1982)
4 The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974)

I really didn't think I was going to have to vote on this one, but Psycho has produced a tie again (previously against Halloween). In the case of these two films, I think Psycho is more precise, but for the Horror genre I think NOTLD's realism makes for a greater horror punch. Night of the Living Dead (1968) + 1.
