How about some genre movies? Seeing as how modern day blockbusters don't know how to make entertaining but not utterly stupid movies, it might be an interesting compare and constrast to look at some older so called “popcorn” movies (back when they didn't suck).

Good movies that would work in this category might be:

Aliens (I prefer this one to Alien, although many will disagree)

Predator (The only Arnold Schwarznegger movie where you think he might not make it out alive)

The Thing (Carpenter's best in my opinion, and some of the most ingenious practical effects ever)

The Abyss (A good sci-fi “message” movie with some great scenes and performances)

Either of the first two terminator movies could work too, although that ground has been covered pretty thoroughly already.
