Yep. The movie rankings being tossed around lately have me convinced that our shared nostalgia heavily favors earlier films (Point Break, amiright?), and I just can't imagine a young lad sitting down today and preferring Predator 2 over AvP or even Predators (unless 90's retro is suddenly cool again), but for me it instantly takes me back to a very specific point in time that was both very awesome and very rad -- and my kid hates when I say the "r-word".
AvP - I recall fevered discussions on AICN where we proudly proclaimed that if anybody had real balls the film would be focused entirely on the two species with only alien dialect and NO HUMANS. What we received was a Paul W. S. Anderson b-film. I should have saw it coming, and perhaps I would have enjoyed that opening night viewing a bit more. That said, Lance Henriksen and a solid comic book vibe have maintained my interest over the years.
Still planted firmly on the fence for
The Predator. I am liking the idea of a theater viewing though. That said, I shelled out for AvP 2 and was pretty bummed out. I think I caught Predators at home after the fact and enjoyed the viewing.
