Author Topic: Top 10 Arnold movies (Read 3377 times)

This guy from St. Louis Today has a pretty good list. I would move Conan higher up and might put Terminator 2 as number 1, but rest are in pretty good order. What do you think?

In a related vein, this guy picks the top action stars. Except for Angelina Jolie and Will Smith, most are pretty old. Hollywood needs to get some new action stars, since Diesel and Johnson haven't been able to make their mark in enough good action movies.

Good point. I think of that as a documentary, but based on interviews with Arnold and George Butler it is really a fictional movie with real people. (Arnold: "I skipped my father's funeral, because I wanted to pump iron and get the feeling of cumming day and night."

Predator should be higher. That movie holds up to this day and kicks ass.

No Hercules in NY? Stay Hungry? Jayne Mansfield Story? End Of Days?

predator and terminator are arguably the best two action movies made of all time.....

Doug_Steele · « **Reply #11 on:** August 18, 2010, 07:22:29 PM »

I watched "The Running Man" tonight and that should be a real show.

I mean, the jails are too full and that would be a perfect idea for a show.

the original terminator was the best, it had something for everybody

Terminator, Predator and Conan should be top 3

_bruce_ · « **Reply #14 on:** August 19, 2010, 07:57:36 AM »

0. Pumping Iron
1. The Terminator
2. Predator
3. Conan

bradistani · « **Reply #15 on:** August 19, 2010, 08:13:27 AM »

predator should be no1. it's the greatest action film of all time as far as i'm concerned.

t2 is overrated tripe. it can't even come close to the terminator

true lies was ruined by all the bullshit with jamie lee curtis

the guy is a complete moron for not having commando in a top 10 of arnie films

it's 80s awesomeness personified

it would be no3 on my list.

bigkid · « **Reply #16 on:** August 19, 2010, 08:51:28 AM »

Predator is awesome. Used to watch it almost everyday when I was a kid.

#1 Klaus fan · « **Reply #17 on:** August 19, 2010, 09:48:55 AM »

1. Commando
2. The Terminator
3. Total Recall

If you don't have these in your top 5 you are clueless, sorry.

4. Twins
5. Predator
6. Running Man
7. Conan the Barbarian (needs rewatching

)
8. Errr, too close to decide at this point.

Conan the Destroyer shouldn't be on anyone's list. It was horrible and killed the franchise. Would have been great to see Arnold do a great Conan movie every few years.

Captain Equipoise · « **Reply #19 on:** August 19, 2010, 10:43:43 AM »

1. Terminator 2 (no question)
2. Commando/Predator (tie)
3. Terminator
4. True Lies
5. Raw Deal
6. The Running Man
7. Total Recall
8. Kindergarten Cop
9. Twins
10. Pumping Iron (documentary so I can't really classify it as a movie)

I thought it was good fun. Might've not been a "true" Conan, but entertaining.

Much better. I'd bump down True Lies and get rid of Kindergarten Cop, tho.

I'm surprised terminator 3 didn't make the list. I loved that scene in T3 when Arnie came out from the church with a coffin full of weapons in one arm and a rotary gun in the other just mowing down everything in site.
