With my wife and one daughter on a girls' trip out of town, myself and the other daughter have watched Predator, Terminator, and Terminator 2 in the last 32 hours.

to paraphrase the much funnier Stephen Colbert of the Colber Report,
Great dad or greatest dad ever?

You can only elevate yourself by finishing the Arnold run with Commando and True Lies.

There may be no greater father daughter love story than Commando.

Depends on the girl's age. Less than 6, probably not a great idea. Sweet spot of 7-12, great dad. Older, yeah, good dad but she probably already saw them.

I opened this thread expecting some ridiculous boast claiming father of the year status. What I found can only be validated with a report on the conversation after the wife returned and asked "What all did you get done this weekend?"

Great stuff!!!

Throw the movie Prey in there as a Predator sequel and you have just given a lesson in empowerment to your daughter. Also, pretty good movie.

True unless one of the requirements is that it's an Arnold Schwarzenegger movie. If so and it has to be sci-fi then I would add Running Man and Total Recall.

You must also have Alien then. And that one might be a bit much.

Alien started too slowly for her a few months ago. This weekend does surpass the trip last year when we watched Gladiator and all of the first season of Stranger Things.

What's weird is watching T 1 and T 2 back to back and how bizarrely different every single thing about these movies ae. Still fantastic, but so different! The jump scare that got her is when the Terminator comes back to life after Reese has sacrificed himself in the factory. Her shriek got 2 of the dogs to bark.

I just realized a few weeks ago that I have never seen the OG Terminator.

My dad took me to see Terminator 2: Judgement Day when I was 6 years old. My kid is 9 and is too scared to watch Iron Man.

Im jealous, OP.

I need to fix this.

In the Comedy Central days, I never missed an episode.
Now I never watch one.

We watched T2 again tonight. I think we might veer right and watch Twins tomorrow; Mom and other daughter now officially stuck out of town.

Yeah he doesn't like loud noises. I thought he got over it, but he still doesn't like it in movies

Daughter: "How about Terminator 2?"
