Holy cow. We appear to have a large anti-Schwarzenegger contingent. And Escape From New York not making it past the first round?
At least one Schwarzenegger film will make it to round two.
Honestly, I don’t see Escape among the greatest SF films. Obviously, opinions vary, but it wouldn’t take many such opinions to knock a film out of running.
Sure, it won’t be in the running for first, or even for the top 25. But it was good enough, I thought, to at least make it past the first round. It’s a bit of a classic
