There are memorable villains—characters so perfect that we can barely remember who the good guys were. Darth Vader, the Terminator, the Alien, or the Shark, just to name a few villains who need no introduction. But out of all of them, I want to mention my favorite: the Predator.

In the 1980s, Schwarzenegger was, along with Stallone, one of the most recognizable action stars of the era. When Predator came out in 1987, we all headed to the theater to watch Arnold kick some alien ass. Just another great action movie from that period—or so we thought. We never could have imagined that we would leave the theater more captivated by the villain than by the hero. The Predator was the perfect villain, and Arnold simply starred in a movie that has remained etched in the minds of many people from my generation.
