5. The Terminator
The Terminator made the careers of James Cameron and Arnold Schwarzenegger in one fell swoop. Along the way, it blended special effects like no one had tried before and spawned several sequels. This is THE sci-fi action movie of the decade. Well in reality, it only made $38.4 million (worth $87 million today) and was less popular than The Great Mouse Detective, Hannah and Her Sisters, and Yentl. It didn't even crack the top 20 of the year it was released, 1984. What recent movie performed as well as Total Film's 72nd greatest movie ever made? The Galifianakas/Farrell comedy The Campaign. Do you think "They'll be back"
