I love all of Arnold's movies. But I haven't seen the Batman movie where he played Mr. Freeze. Probably never will.

One of the funniest lines I remember, just by his delivery, is from Red Heat:

"You shouldn't drink and bake!"

And "Total Recall" is still amazing to watch. Damn good action flick.

There is enough one liners from Arnie flicks that me and a guy at work actually play a movie trivia game by saying a line and the other guessing at its origin. Not tuff, but fun.

That move was pioneered by Mel Brooks

My favorites:

The Sixth Day: because it denounces the inherent evils of science and genetic engineering. It's also a great wake-up call to those who live in a Godless society, and wish to play with God's creation.

ACTING!

End Of Days: same reason as above, except for the science thing.

ACTING!

Stay Hungry: because of his great interpretation of Polka. Also because of the ACTING!

EDIT: As an aside, I just wanted to note that Schwarzenegger >>>>>>>> Stallone, because Arnold was never beat up by Jack Lemmon.

Why is he kidding? Yes, the villain of the story uses genetic engineering in a villainous manner, but thanks to GE we get two Arnies. And then they both kick the shit out of the arsehole. That so denounces the "evils" of GE.

What the heck is wrong with people living in the Godless society wanting to improve what nature created? And making two Arnolds is evil, by his logic. And that is pure blasphemy! I mean, calling any Arnold, even a cloned Arnold, evil, is wrong!

There is nothing wrong with cloning people. We already have clones in the form of twins.

However selling the concept that cloning gives immortality is wrong. The Sixth Day did a good job at portraying this.

I'd say it's a toss-up between Junior and Conan the Destroyer.

Woah! I never thought you would be a guy who would say that. You seem a bit religious while I, who is practically an atheist, am still not sure about this.

I concur. Cloning giving immortality is just plain bullshit. I mean, that just breeds the type of people who fear that cloning Hitler will bring about WW3 or something.

I think the two roles that were just made for Arnold were "Terminator" and "Conan the Barbarian". They required so little acting, they were perfect.

But for sheer corniness, nothing beats "Commando".
-Number of screen kills: 112 (will have to double check that figure).

Also had a crazy number of one-liners
-"Let off some steam, Bennett"
-"Please don't disturb my friend, he's dead tired"

And let's not forget the bloopers that are just shameful. Need I remind anyone about the infamous yellow Porsche, or the rope around the ankle?

Let's just say the "Commando" drinking game got me nice and drunk in college!
