I liked it as well. Easily my 3rd favourite of the franchise, right behind 1 and 2. It’s also worth a watch just for the gorgeous Alberta cinematography.
The question wasn't what their best movie was, it was where to start, and yeah, Holy Grail is probably the right answer to that.

Whoa, did not realize it was filmed here.

Boonies is horrible. It’s so bad that it keeps getting autocorrected to Boonies and I’m not going to bother fixing it.

Thats one that I loved as a kid and rewatched recently and...it really doesnt hold up all that well.
Maybe it's the nostalgia factor totally skewing it for me, but Goonies holds up remarkably well--even pushing 40 years old. I guess if you view it strictly as a comedy it loses points, but as an adventure movie it's still gotta be one of the top 10.

Anyone watched A Fish Called Wanda recently? That was a good one, but not sure it holds up.

Life of Brian is the only one of the 4 Python films that plays out as a story, all the rest even Holy Grail are either fully or have elements of being sketches stitched together to make a film, doesnt make them bad but you need to be ok with it, Brian is just a straight out movie

For me? Arnie, Jessie the body Ventura, Carl Weathers are Predator hunters.
An 80 pound mexican indian girl with a bow and arrow not so much.
I mean if she had been cast in the first movie it would of lasted 5 seconds and she would be dead.
It is an insult to the first movie. That said Danny Glover chasing a predator is not that great either.
Actually all the sequels suck.
It was a bad movie.
It would be like putting her in a ring with Mike Tyson during his hayday. Yet a Mike Tyson armed with not just strength but laser weapons too.
It was a really bad movie.
I know what you mean, one time I watched this movie with a teenage girl who was babysitting some kids on Halloween (forget the name of it) and she is able to take down a masked series killer that no one else can stop.
I also remember this one movie where a waitress with no training is able to defeat a sophisticated robot sent back in time to kill her.

I actually didn't know it was filmed in Alberta prior to watching but it didn't take long for me to notice how familiar the lands were to the point I was pretty positive it was filmed here prior to confirming. Alberta is the perfect place to film a movie of this timeline and setting. Given the last Predator movie was unwatchable (I didn't even bother finishing it), I was pleasantly surprised how good this was. It was smart to go back to a simpler time and get away from the direction of modern military vs alien. That had been done best in the original and it's been diminishing returns since. There was actually a bit of a story in this one and the actress did a good job.
Did anyone watch the closing credits? It looked like it left a window for a sequel.
