Rambo, I'd probably watch the first one which isn't actually called Rambo and is 180 degrees from what 2 and 3 turned out to be.

Terminator 1 being optional? Really. Maybe I am in the minority here, but I feel the first Terminator movie is superior to the sequel. Maybe it's the noire like feel it has going for it, but it just feels more authentic than Judgement Day. Don't get me wrong T2 is great as well, but trying to teach the Terminator human emotions really didn't work for me. The effects are obviously superior in T2, but for 1984 the first movie had fantastic effects as well. It was also great seeing Arnie in one of the few roles where he plays a villain.
It's very similar to how people compare Alien with Aliens. If you want all out action and effects, go for the sequel; however If you are looking for a more authentic, gritty, dark sci-fi/horror movie choose the original.
