solarwinds_worldwide_llc 6 months ago Less than one minute read time

The Matrix (1999)
Neo, Trinity, and Morpheus evade Agent Smith as they navigate the simulated world of The Matrix. Good thing they all know kung-fu, whoa.
— versus —
The Terminator (1984)
Sarah Connor? Sarah Connor? Has anyone seen Sarah Connor? The movie that launched a franchise and James Cameron's career.

Not sure if the Terminator is an action, SCI FI, horror movie or what but I still think it is one of the best two hour long chase seens there is. I just have to go with The Terminator.

Hot take - Terminator is a horror movie with sci-fi elements, and Terminator 2 is an action movie with sci-fi elements.

This distinction has no bearing whatsoever on the fact that they are two of my favorite movies of all time, and Terminator has my vote in this matchup!
