Stop putting the movies I like up against each other!

Anyway, The Terminator.

Indiana Jones. Terminator is great fun too

 

[Arkam]

Both great films. One is bright and fun, the other dark and gritty. No wrong choice here IMO.

I think I probably have seen Raiders more times, but I definitely watch Terminator a lot as a kid. Raiders just happens to 'be on' more than the graphic/mature Terminator I suppose.

Terminator, easy one for me. Not the biggest Indie fan tbh.

The Terminator is my favourite out of this matchup. It set a great formula for future movies to follow and doesn't veer off into the little details as much as Terminator 2.

I find the Indiana Jones movies okay to watch, but I'm just not really into the characters. I prefer characters like in The Mummy which were a lot more interesting and memorable for me.

The Terminator wins this vote and will move on to the Top 10.
