I wasn't really in to the whole Marvel and Avengers hype train but somehow got caught up in Infinity War and absoutely loved it. Especially Brolin's performance as Thanos.

Didn't think too much of Infinity. Robocop is another stonecold classic.

 

[Chris]

I don't even think RobCop gets much of a nostalgia pass compared to other cheesy sci-fi movies of the era, it's just a genuinely good flick.

But I'm going Avengers

If it had been RoboCop 2 - maybe I would have gone the other way.
