T2: Judgment Day
if u wanna talk matrix, T2 was the matrix of the early 90s, nobody did what was done in that movie before and it wow'd audiences, to this very day that movie holds up in todays technology, a testament to how good James Cameron is as a director. The musical score is still a recognizable monument in film, the story is as good a message you can find in any sci-fi tale, and as Arnold movies go, it has to be his best "acted" role of his career, with his most emotional/dramatic line of any his movies ("i know now why you cry, but it is somethin i can never do"). It may not be "godfather" but T2 is to me the godfather of what sci-fi/action genre can get.
