T-2 and True Lies....great editions to my dvd collection, course having T-1, T-3, Predator, and others doesn't hurt.

I mean when I went to purchase Kill Bill Vol.1 I saw TL in the 9.99 bin.(I couldn't leave it there.)

True Lies and Predator tie it for me. I just loved all the one liners in TL

JAMIE: Have you ever killed anyone?

ARNIE: Ya, but they were all bad.

or

"Are we gonna die?"

"Yup!"

too great

Predator, the original Terminator, Kindergarden Cop, Total Recall, and Running Man.

My favorites mentioned would have to be True Lies, Conan, Running Man, Total Recall, Predator, T1, and T2, with T2 taking top honors (though T1 comes close). T3 I utterly loathe.

However, another Arnold movie that I really like is Last Action Hero. I was about 12 at the time, so I identified a great deal with the kid. Being able to go into movie worlds would have been a dream come true. Even today, I still find the numerous jokes poking fun at movie cliche's funny.

Where are the ordinary, everyday women? They don't exist because this is a movie!
No, this is California.

And who can forget Arnold's short but sweet foray into Shakespeare?

To be, or not to be.... Not to be.

Predator
"Stick Around"

Total Recall
"That your wife?"
"Yup"
"...Bitch."

T2
"You can't go around killing people!"
"Why?"

Hands down Total Recall was the best movie Arnold ever did. Some of my favorite lines:

Cohagen: Well my boy, you're a hero!
Arnold: Fuck You.

Arnold: See you at the party Richter!

Melina: That was your wife?
Arnold: *nods*
Melina: What a bitch!

No one. Those who saw it have repressed the memory.

Terminator 2, followed by The Terminator, Predator, True Lies and then Commando, followed by all the rest except Eraser because they kick ass.

Yeah, I'm even worse - I've only seen the ending of T2 (I caught it on SciFi once). If I had to list which one I'm most anxious to see, though, it'd probably be Total Recall.

Isn't he a crucial part of Western civilisation?

I'd say either Terminator or Predator. (but that's only because I haven't seen "Conan the Barbarian")

Terminator 2 is my favorite Arnold movie. The role of a futuristic kllier robot perfect suited him.

Last Action Hero was funny as hell, and Predator was just kickass, but the best Ar-Nold movie ever was easily Terminator 2.

I was a mere lad when i saw it for the first time, and i cried when Arnie was lowered into the vat of molten metal

dworkin · Post by **dworkin** » 2004-05-06 05:05am

Terminator was IMEO better than it's sequel (there is no T3)
Total Recal was a good movie.
True Lies was too much 'every adolescent's fantasy' while Last Action Hero was funnier and had the better story.

So, The Terminator is the best Ar-nohld movie out there.

Not that I imply I liked it anyway, never actually saw it but heard it was bad even for a B-movie.

It was a decent movie and then they just decided to end it by having Arnold get pissed off and killing all of the bad guys, and there were alot of bad guys.

Tsyroc · Post by **Tsyroc** » 2004-05-06 05:37am

I like so many Arnold movies it would be easier to list the ones I didn't care for.

I was disappointed in Red Heat when I saw it and I didn't like Junior either. It seemed like a waste of a good comedy cast. With Arnold, Danny Davito and Emma Thompson they should have had a much better movie.

I also thought Jingle All the Way was kind of a let down except for some of the parts with Sinbad and the final battle at the end where Arnold is Turboman.

Raw Deal was okay since he kinda acted like a Terminator.

Terminator 2 was abso-fucking-lutely the greatest movie ever! EVER!!! I watched it as a kid and it was awesome! There was a BOOM!! And then a BLAM BLAM BLAM! Then a ca-chunk, ka-BLAWGH!!! And the mini-gun and the plasma and the bashing and the wham! And the nooo! And the stabbing! And the hitting! And the explosions! And so forth! I loved it! It was magnificent! It was...wonderful! Heck, my beta player broke because of T2 and Predator. Then there was the long years of not watching T2...

But now I have a DVD player

Commando kicked ass too. That rocket launcher was awesome!

Conan was great, although I can't remember anything now. But whatever, anything that has Ah-nuld running around and killing everything that moves and blowing up random things in his area is just great!

Ah-nuld is the embodiement of everything we dream about. That is to beat the shit out of everyone and look great while doing it while saying entertaining one-liners with a funny accent.

True Lies for the fact it introduced us to Eliza Dushku(sp?)

Also for this scene:

"He calls himself the Sand Spider"

"Why"

"Probably because it sounds scary"

brilliant

2000AD · Post by **2000AD** » 2004-05-06 06:24am

The Terminator films followed by Predator.
I don't actually like Conan that much.

Montcalm · Post by **Montcalm** » 2004-05-06 06:53am

Just remembered another Arnold movie "Hercules in New York' thats one bad movie

Lord Pounder · Post by **Lord Pounder** » 2004-05-06 06:55am

Wasn't he also in Red Heat? That was a decent movie i thought.

The first Arnold movie i had the pleasure of seeing was The Running Man. I was 11 years old and at the time and I thought it was the greatest movie that could ever be made. Then i saw Terminator..... and Predator. Nothing warms the heart of a pre teen boy more than machine gun battles bombs and massive explosions.... well ther're were boobs, but how often did you get to see those at 11?
