Cameron’s movies are great action flicks, but Robocop is operating on about a dozen different levels…while still being a great action flick.
Thank you.
Aliens is still the best sci-fi action movie ever.
Since you mentioned Cameron.
You make a compelling argument.
To start with, T2 is much better than T1.

Aliens is still the best sci-fi action movie ever.
From when the xenomorphs cut the power to when Ripley airlocks the queen is 40 minutes. 40 fucking minutes!
I like Blade Runner a lot.
I tend to favor dystopian stories over space exploration stories. Like Soylent Green or The Omega Man/Legend, or the original Rollerball.
But goddamn, Aliens scared the fuck out of me in a way few movies have.
Nope.
Stay on target

I just found out last night that Denzel’s “Man on Fire” is a remake.
Blade Runner is one of my favorite movies period.
ETA: For me, on the Science Fiction medal stand are:
Blade Runner
Empire Strikes Back
Aliens
