From about 1996 to about 2009 (roughly ages 4 til 17 for those playing at home), this was my all-time favourite movie. It was the first non-pirated VHS I ever owned, and it probably informed more of my youth than I'm comfortable with admitting. Predator is the sort of movie that somehow both encapsulates and transcends the 1980s, I implore anybody who unlucky enough to never have seen Predator to watch it, just to fulfil the life experience.

One of only five movies that I've ever given a 5/5 star rating to.

Final rating:★★★★★ – Transcendent entertainment! An all time great.
