1. Total Recall b,1212. Predatorb,1213. Terminatorb,1214. Commandob,1215. Twinsb,121b,121The top three seem like pretty obvious picks. Commando acts as the sleeper hit, and Twins perhaps received a slight boost in order to give a nod to his non-action porfolio. Discuss.

    I was just thinking about Pumping Iron this morning. The film disappointed me a little, but that's probably because I went in expecting it to be more of a documentary about his workouts, nutrition, life, etc instead of the competition. It was pretty interesting tho especially when Arnold talks about his pops, younger competition, girlfriend, and 'cumming' all over the place

    font class="post"1b,121b,121Word. Probably his best pure-action film. I'm no nerd but I always thought Commando should have gotten (or still get) action figure treatment. Cook, Sully, Bennett, Alyssa Milano, that girl he meets in that awesome shopping mall.

    I've never seen the first Terminator -- is it worth watching? img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/latte.gif" alt="" 21

    Looking over the movies listed so far I had forgotten how lousy his filmography is. b,121b,1211. CONANb,1212. TERMINATOR 2b,1213. (I'd probably add PUMPING IRON to the list if I'd seen it)b,1214. -b,1215. -b,121b,121a href="http://www.imdb.com/news/ni0251055/" target="_blank"1Though I might reevaluate his career soon./a1

    I cant even rate them..b,121b,121I'll say my 5 favorites are...b,121b,121Total Recall, Predator, Terminator, Conan, and Running Man.b,121b,121b,121Its hard to accurately rate them... but for years... whenever anyone talked about Blade Runner... i thought they were talking about Running man... so it was very confusing hearing their analysis... hehe

    font class="post"1b,121b,121He has a lot of duds but he's hit home runs more often than not. Predator, Terminators, True Lies, Total Recall, and Conan's are all certified. I'll concede that he hasn't done anything notable since True Lies but my pops (who hates movies) loved Eraser for some reason. I just remember Arnold running around with a super soaker painted black.b,121b,121I like the fact that Arnold never really considered himself an actor. He was in it for the business.

    I loved it for the way over the top philosophy/religion moments. Might have gone over your head though... hehe

    COMMANDO. This is the film they used to cure ted haggard's homosexuality.
