I'd argue its great because it isn't either of those. Never took itself too seriously.

And the basement scene is one of the best in cinema history.

I don't think that Predator took itself very seriously with all the one liners.  With that said, I can understand your position.

I wonder if playing this part so long moderated his views at all.

To start he was added to make fun of gun owners. The original movie made the point that while other characters had guns, they paid little attention to them. However as the series continued Bert became the main character.

The whole series were fun movies, but let's not get carried away with "one of the best ever".

And they are tougher to watch now that I know Burt is a anti-gunner in real life.

It makes sense if you realize each of those tough guys on the TV was once a drama club fruit.

LOL so amazingly true!  Tom Berenger was a stewardess, for fuck's sake!  Sam Elliott was never a cowboy, Jason Statham was a lounge singer and male model.  Guess that's why they call it acting...

The first one is an awesome movie. Great character development. Many of us can probably remember the names of most of the major characters without checking IMDB because the movie made us care about what happened to them. Even Melvin.

The plot development and character arc follows classic story lines. Look at Val's change from the beginning compared to when he's chatting with Ronda at the end. There's also a great buddy  dynamic with Val and Earl.

It follows Jaws formula well. Like Jaws, you never see the monster for the first 1/3 to 1/2 of the movie. Slow build up and increasing anxiety and panic. And when you do finally see the monster, it's a great reveal (and the most appropriately timed F-word in any movie).

I thought the first one was a fun movie.  Great casting for that one.
I saw an interview with Kevin Bacon a while back where he said he originally did not want to make the movie.
Now he admits that he would be willing to do a sequel if the script was good enough.
