I love Predator 1 and 2 equally for completely different reasons.

I chose Predator 1 because it's just great.
clearly influenced by Aliens but still a great film.
But I still wouldn't call it a classic. A really good action film from the late 80s.
However, I think that Arnie always seems a little funny the more serious he tries to act, but that's a matter of taste.

I actually thought Predator 2 was just as good because it did the only right thing when it came to location. The design of the Pred is also great again and unfortunately it was the last time a Predator looked good.
I also liked Glover.
What I didn't like was the expansion of the culture and a kind of code, but we're already discussing that in another thread.

I love Prey. I like Predator 2. But nothing beats Predator.

The first is the only one I would consider a classic.

In order to call a film a classic, it must meet several criteria, although opinions certainly differ as to when a film should or may be called a classic.
For me it is a classic if it has had a lasting impact on, changed or influenced the film world.
and Predator simply doesn't have that. It's a cult film, no question, but it's only that among fans.

Seen globally, it is "just" a very good action thriller, nothing more and nothing less.
But it didn't have a huge influence on the film world as a whole.

Frankenstein, Dracula, Jaws, Star Wars, 2001, The Godfather and also the first Alien.  These are style-defining classics because after their release major changes and a jolt went through the film world and these films have left a huge influence to this day.

I love the first Predator but for me it doesn't meet enough criteria to be called a real film classic.

I think Mannequin is a classic, watched it on sunday in fact. But that's just me.

I'm surprised that The Predator has one more vote than Prey, actually I'm impressed by the fact that The Predator has any vote... Those 3 maybe confused the topic with the worse Predator movie

For what it's worth, this poll was originally created when there were only two Predator movies and it's never been reset.
