It would have been even better if it had featured Kevin Spacey as the predator

Nah. They would've had to CG him out of it and replace him with Christopher Plummer.

From when I was very very young, one of my favorite movies was the Japanese Sci-Fi Flik (a genre unto itself!) "The Mysterians". I basically remembered the scenarios, but with streaming video, I got to see it again.
It really is, as you say, funny. Trite dialog, palely disguised nationalistic comments) an portrayals of non-Japanese, and . . . the robot.
A giant ray-spewing robot - complete with a rather large conical nose that servers no purpose. Painted light-bulbs on the end-game human response to the invaders.
This before the total decline of their industry as evidenced by what they made of Godzilla.

Been done before but it's still hard to get past the lead actor as a "hero" and then later the same guy becoming a less than zero (aka "politician")
on re-watching movies: Brazil (1985) - and if you've never watched it make it your next movie

Predator still looks "nice" because the setting is simple, jungle, stereotyped military guys, monster. It can be set in pretty much any era, then and now.
I watch Demolition Man the other day and it did not aged well.
I'd rather be phishing!

A great movie. The original actor cast as the predator was Jean Claude van Damm; there is film of him running around the jungle in a lobster costume!
I still watch it form time to time: one of Arnie's best films.
Keep your friends close. Keep Kill your enemies closer.

Predator I ... top ten best thrillers ever.
Can't stress that "ever" too much. I mean the lighting! The pyrotechnics! The sound track! I am having almost total recall right now of ... dinner table conversations about the symbols both seen and imagined ...

also means it wasn't really "without tyre", it was just in the wrong place and somewhat worn.

The unanswered question is how drunk/high was the idiot...
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

That post was in a class by itself (should have left it there). I'll make this response public so that the members can be clear on this issue.
