Terminator, The

The Terminator (1984)
Dir: James Cameron

A cyborg is sent back through time to kill the woman who would eventually give birth to mankind's last hope.
An excellent thriller that rightly kickstarted the careers of everyone involved. The casting is perfect and the effects are particularly impressive given the film's modest budget. A great concept that is well acted by the leads and superbly executed by Cameron.
