6. Sarah Connor vs. The Terminator - The Terminator
James Cameron's blisteringly intense 1984 sci-fi action flick keeps us guessing from near enough minute one how the relentless killing machine known as The Terminator is going to be put down, and things reach their bleakest point at the end of the movie, when the T-800 gives chase to a wounded Kyle Reese and Sarah Connor, who are trapped inside the Cyberdyne factory. Kyle eventually winds up dying but not before exploding the Terminator into shards with a pipe bomb, but it's not enough; the upper half of the machine's torso continues to chase Sarah, who is now herself wounded by shrapnel. In the film's most squeamish scene, the machine follows Sarah into a hydraulic press, grabbing at her foot and trying to catch up with her. She manages to crawl out the other side and reach the press controls, shouting, "You're terminated, f***er!", before finally defeating the machine with the use of another.
