That's why I'd have Terminator higher on my list than probably most people would.
Right, but to do that is to effectively concede that you don't take science fiction seriously as a movie genre. It's just a fun time out at the theatre that you can walk out of thinking about how cool the giant robots and laser sword fights were. That's not how movie quality is generally looked at. Nothing wrong with good entertainment, but this is also an art medium, and science fiction is a totally valid way to express that artistic value.
