No I understand the choice of Predator, sure none of the actors in it were from the Royal Shakespeare Theater and not ever likely to be either but the cast was great, they worked very well together.

Exactly. It was so cool to see Arnold surround himself with other big guys rather than little skinny guys to make himself look bigger. It's a great popcorn flick!

I know, I actually saw your post after I posted that and thought of The Wild Bunch to be just about the only film that may be able to match it... In the words of Pike, "We want Angel"
