Man that's an amazing summer. Robocop is one of my all-time favorite movies. Predator is awesome and so is Full Metal Jacket.

I gotta go with Robocop. Serve the Public Trust, Protect the Innocent, Uphold the Law.
 
Full Metal Jacket.
I should give RoboCop a rewatch. I bet it has been 30 years. Maybe 10 years on Predator and Lost Boys.
 
Predator is also a good example of something that was perfect and didn't need to be a franchise and is now taken over by nerds. The first movie was cool with badasses taking on a mysterious monster. The second was kind of cool and had some good gore if that's your think. Now we have animated series' and endless movies for a property that was legit just one good movie and now there's a mega nerd mythology about it. Same with Alien (though Aliens is a GOAT movie too). The alien franchise went from a scary ass mysterious alien and now it's all about how like what mixture of DNA creates these aliens? Huh?
 
I really liked the newest 3 alien movies for what they were. You aren't getting a bunch of 80's/90's horror action but you are getting some pretty disturbing kills and a unique sense of dread, a legit incredible actor, etc. The first couple kills that start in the medical lab in Covenant was all time sci fi horror material.
And then Romulus those first scenes/shots of the mining planet they were on, you can't get better sci-fi cinematography than that. Bonus points for how creepy it was to revive a deceased actor with AI. Bonus bonus points for again nailing the casting and getting Cailee Spaeny who is girl-next-door fucking hot and great in everything she's in.
They are goofy at times trying to introduce the Protoss looking aliens and Prometheus was the worst of the 3 which is why people probably gave up on the series, but they are great horror films and pretty unique.
I see they're making a movie adaptation of Alien Isolation which is almost guaranteed to get back to the 80's/90's style of the first movies.
