The Terminator (1984)

There is little I remember from the one and only time I saw the original Terminator. Mostly I remember trying to track down a copy as a child with no resources. After seeing the sequel, I tried hard to see the original. Either way, I did, and was actually surprised at how dark and gritty it was. 

Essentially this is quite an action packed sci-fi movie, not (essentially) an action based road movie. It's psychological in nature and does an excellent job of visioning a world in the future - all the while staying in present times. It's different, but interesting.
