Only a few more years before The Terminator joins this list. Starting to think robots might do a better job of things.
In Terminator 2, Judgement Day was supposed to happen in 1997.

Escape from New York was also 1997. 
So was Predator 2. 

I have no clue what it was about that year that caught people's attention.

I was thinking about the date the Terminator is sent back, which is 2027. I guess there was some Millenial Fever going on about 1997 although why they picked that particular year I have no idea.

Maybe that was from one of the later sequels.  They changed the date a few times I believe.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
