Terminator 2: Judgment Day hitting 30 years old this summer

Yes, another thread to fawn over this glorious classic. One of those movies that formed the bedrock for my love of cinema. The future war sequence is still fucking awesome and no sequel has yet to surpass it. Visual effects that still hold up quite well, Arnold shotgun twirling, and Linda Hamilton kicking ass. Like James Cameron did with Aliens five years prior, the last act is a prolonged action sequence that never lacks for excitement (coincidentally, both sequels arrived seven years after the original). If I take any issue with the movie, the desert scenes bring it to a crawl. Apparently, Arnold being a good Terminator was meant to be a surprise. I only saw the original film years later so that effect was lost on me. This is also probably the first R-Rated movie I saw.
