I haven't seen Joy (or Accidental Love if we're counting that?) but otherwise dude is batting 1000. He's super consistent, I think.

It was clear I was copying from Wikipedia and if I took his name off the list and he ever saw it, I'm sure he would be offended and I didn't see the need to do that to him. He's probably an OK guy

I guess theyre just action movies but the original scared the shit out of me. Maybe it was because i was so young but none of the other movies were one bit engaging/tense/scary. They morphed into terrible CGI and action heavy.

I recall Predator 2 not as much an action flick but more of a slow-burn, noirish horror-affair. Same director as Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child which had a very different vibe than all the others in the series that I really enjoyed. They were both very dark and had a lot of nasty humans doing nasty things in the open.
