      It won’t hit the same as living through it in real time and seeing all the toys/merchandise and hysteria. Childhood added magic that’s impossible to feel as an adult. He’ll never TRULY understand “Ahl be bah-ck”😎

    The Terminator is arguably the best low-budget sci-fi thriller ever made. You have to understand and appreciate how low budget The Terminator is. It's not a Galaxy Of Terror budget but it's still cheaper than Star Wars. I think Cameron did PHENOMENALLY for that budget.
    No. Considering where Kyle is from, his love for Sarah was not creepy. You have to remember that John made his mom out to be a legendary figure on top of that picture. Besides, women in the 1980s didnt look at love and relationships like you are now programmed to. They actually like the fantasy of men pining away for them.

    This is the best Terminator movie, hands down. I love the slasher vibe and horror aspect of this. I used to love Terminator 2 as a kid, but when I got older, I appreciated the first one. So now I rank T1 above T2.

    One of the best behind the scenes stories about Terminator is that, as mentioned, Arnold wasn't the first choice to play the Terminator... because originally the Terminator was an infiltration model that was supposed to blend in with normal people so it could get into resistance cells and destroy them from within. Lance Henriksen was in the running for that version of the character... until Cameron saw Arnold and decided to change up the core idea completely. Needless to say, that shifted a few things around and definitely led to a very different film. (But Lance Henriksen still got to be in it, which is great for a few reasons... he holds some interesting movie records because of it... but you'll have to see a few more of the classics before you can really appreciate those notes...)

    Matty, please read.
    I remember the day Fallout 4 released. I was 13. And me and my friend was watching the special videos while the gane installed on my xbox. After that I looked up fallout 4 and I found your channel. Fallout 4 changed my life. I loved the music and the world. I eventually went back and played the others. I’ve been watching you since I was 13. I have many blindspots like sonic and pokemon oblivion but no matter what I watch almost every video. When you start your retro rebound I loved that. Im quite a bit younger but Im a nostalgic guy. Every day im excited to watch your matty videos and your retro videos. Even if its a game i never played I still watch. I bet you have bigger fans but great job on your content and your vibe is great. You’re a honest reviewer and sometimes you’re not extremely harsh like to starfield but you’re more even tempered. You take every gane for what it is. If something is bad then you will tell us. This channel has been great! I’ve watched most of these movies but hearing your thoughts are great I can’t believe this channel doesn’t have more subs. I’m rambling but as a random viewer i wanted to say thank you and great job.

    T1 at 10th place feels so harsh as someone who really appreciates how dark and hopeless it is in comparison to the sequel. It really is more of a horror movie than an action one. But I get it, some aspects of it really havent aged well, and thats why I think Matty will like T2 A LOT more. T2 and Aliens have both aged like fine wine, its mind blowing that they look as good as they do for how old they are. I rewatched them last year and T2 still has better "special fx" than a lot of modern movies, no joke.

    I'm 36 now and growing up in the Netherlands, i was raised very freely when it comes to watching action, horror etc movies at a very young age. The impac that Arnold Schwarzenegger had on me as a kid, was so high and was almost unreal. He was the perfect action hero and really "The Last Action Hero". Offcourse, i also really loved Jean Claude Van Damme, Stallone, Bruce Lee etc, but Arnold is and will always be my number 1 action hero. You really need to watch True Lies, Total Recall, Last Action Hero, Predator, Commando and Jingle All The Way as a fun Christmas movie!
