We know, we know: You think Predator is nothing less than a classic. But in 1987, movie critics felt otherwise. The commando-slash-alien flick proved the doubters wrong, though. It spawned four sequels (Predator 2, Predators, Alien vs. Predator and Alien vs. Predator: Requiem) and two governors (Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jesse Ventura).
“Alternately grisly and dull, with few surprises.” —Elvis Mitchell, New York Times
