Which of the Austrian Oak's movies do you prefer over the others?

I say Conan the Barbarian. Swords, Arnie, James Earl Jones, and a kickass soundtrack, what else do you need?

Half descent acting for one. Good production for another.

Best Arnie movie? Twins, or Kindergarden Cop.

A decent set of knockers exposed for a good length of time?

If yesterday was my "Feeling Sad" day, today is my "Sex on the Mind" day.

EDIT: Oh, by the way, I think "End of Days" has everything above (including the knockers ) except Jones.

As for my favorite Ah-nold movie... Well, Terminator and T2. I love that main song!

T2, bar none.

The Terminator flicks.

Let's see.


Red Sonja? -- nope, although Arnold was pretty much the best actor in the film.

Junior? -- no way

The Villan? -- nope

Jingle All the Way?

Hercules in New York? -- nope

The Last Action Hero? -- nope great soundtrack though and I still love the Arnieized version of Hamlet

Commando? -- Liked it a lot at the time. Now it's good to laugh through.

Conan: The Destroyer? nope Very much like some of the later Conan books but they shouldn't have ditched the R rating and someone needed to cast better. Grace Jones?

Conan: The Barbarian? Very enjoyable but nope. Great score, really improves the movie.

The Sixth Day? -- nope Wanted to be Total Recall, had some neat stuff.

Collateral Damage? nope

End of Days -- Under rateda little if you ask me and yes there's a great non-gratuitous (according to the director) breast shot in that movie.

Raw Deal -- decent movie until they decide to just end it.

True Lies -- Very entertaining plus a nuke.

Total Recall -- screws with your head and has lots of cool stuff. Hate the dummies at the end though. Sharon Stone before she hit it "big".

Twins -funny

Kindergarten Cop -- didn't hate it

Stay Hungry -- haven't seen it

Pumping Iron -- haven't see it either.

Predator -- One of my favorites. Arnold with a bad ass team and a cool alien as well. The Arnieizms seem a little shoe horned in to me now (stick around).

Terminator 2 -- Nearly the best although a little too much sap seeped in (thumbs up dude) but has many of Arnold's coolest moments.

Running Man -- Nothing really wrong with this one except it's sort of a let down from the book and has clearly been Arnieized.

Red Heat -- Somehow this one was boring to me.

Terminator -- I think this one was the best. It's a little low on budget, hence the long car chases, but there's no cheese, no lameness no PC crap.

T1 & 2

My fauvorites:

Terminator 1&2 - a killer robot. THE perfect part for Arnold

Predator - Liked it, but only because of the alien and Jessie Ventura with his Ma Belle...so I don;t really know if it counts

True Lies - I laughed my ass off while watching it for the first time

Last Action Hero - not as good as True Lies, but good enough

Conan followed by T1 ten T2 and Predator

I'm a huge Conan fan. I grew up reading Conan comic books and such, and for those reasons I'd go with Conan the Barbarian.

I remember when he did Terminator, I said "Oh no! He cut his hair, no more Conan movies!" (I was kinda young at the time).

But for shear entertainment value, I have to go with either Terminator 1 or Predator. Terminator 2 rocked too. However, compared to the first, its too hollywood, with its moralistic family values "you can't just kill people".... I hate when the sacrifice attempts at a realistic/human reaction to a situation for cliche heroics.

Here's hoping T3 brings Arnie back to basics!

Terminator and Predator. With True Lies following.

Twins, Predator, Terminator 1/2, True Lies, Last Action Hero. in approximately that order

Conan, T1/2, Predator, True Lies, The Running Man, Last Action Hero.

Guess we swapped, then.


I'd have to go with "End of Days," but that has nothing to do with Arnold. I'm just madly in lust with Gabriel Byrne.

Terminator 2, followed by Predator

Kindergarten Cop and The Running Man were also quite good, even though I've only seen the last one on ABC and Sci-Fi...

True Lies, just so funny and great at the same time

The Termies and Predator

True Lies was fucking fantastic. Jamie Lee Curtis's clevage, Tia Carerra, Tom Arnold and lots of guns being fired at ismalic extreemists. Also it had a young Faith the Vampire Slayer.

Terminator films followed by predator and Junior.

Rock on Terminator1&2 (and hopefully 3). Its the perfect film for him; I mean c'mon, Arnorld battles killer robots from the future. If that doesn't work, nothing will.

Remember the parody on Mad tv it was hilarious.
"Forgive him father he`s a killer robot from the future"

I'd say Terminator and True Lies

Anybody remember the parody from Saturday Night Live, "The Toonsinator" staring Toonsils the Driving Cat? .... "He's an advanced cybernetic cat from the future... but he's not a good driver". I almost wet myself watching Toonsils

I think i missed that one.

It was extremely gratuitous (not to mention incestuous).
