Terminator 2: Judgment Day 1991
While I still think the first is an overall better film, as far as tentpole blockbusters go it really doesn't get much better than this. Every single physical/practical stunt only looks more impressive now. Genuinely impressed no one died while making this.

Toni Collette and Mark Ruffalo are closer to a televangelist couple than Trump stand-ins (though their cult of personality is unmistakable MAGA) but they're fun to watch. And the production itself at times feels like Bong Joon Ho doing a…

The Abyss 1989
James Cameron will never make a better, more accomplished film with better performances than The Abyss. Even if he were to abandon his fanatical devotion to the Avatar films, I'm not sure he's got the desire to make something this searingly personal anymore.
What a tremendous accomplishment this movie is. I held off watching any version of of it until I could see the special edition in a quality higher than a crappy DVD, and boy was this 4K restoration…
