The Terminator (1984)
Run Time: 107 min | IMDb: 8.0/10
There are a few worthy entries in The Terminator franchise, but it’s hard not to love the original more than the rest. Arnold Schwarzenegger used the film to cement his action-hero legacy, playing a cyborg assassin simply known as the Terminator, who travels from the future to ’80s Los Angeles to kill a waitress named Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton). From there, we learn about Skynet, an artificial intelligence defense network that will soon become self-aware and destroy humanity if Sarah’s unborn son doesn’t stop it. There’s a lot of time-travel jargon to keep up with, but the real thrill of this movie is seeing Hamilton more than hold her own against an eerily-robotic Schwarzenegger.
The Fifth Element (1997)
Run Time: 126 min | IMDb: 7.7/10
Bruce Willis and Milla Jovovich star in this sci-fi masterpiece from Luc Besson. Set in the future, the film follows a scruffy cab driver named Korben Dallas (Willis) who unwittingly becomes part of a galaxy-wide hunt for a cosmic weapon that could defeat the evil Mr. Zorg (Gary Oldman). Jovovich’s Leelo is that weapon, a bright-eyed, newly-formed human with unlimited power and a naïve understanding of the world. The two battle their way across the galaxy with Chris Tucker’s help, and with them, Besson gives us a colorful, awe-inducing jaunt through the cosmos.
