DarkWizard

roll eyes (sarcastic)



Terminator 1 & Terminator 2.

Impediment
In a film that showed off his acting abilities: Predator and Terminator 2

In a film that showed him as a complete badass: Conan the Barbarian and Terminator.

King_Thorin
Conan the Barbarian
Terminator
True Lies
Kindergarten Cop
Red Dawn
Total Recall
Running Man

Nevermind
I'd probably say these:

Terminator 2
Total Recall
Last Action Hero
Kindergarten Cop
Junior
Twins

Myth
I'm surprised how much Predator is being overlooked here. Last Action Hero on a list without Predator? Blasphemy!

Predator / Total Recall and Running Man, depending on what mood im in, arrrgghhhh I cant decide, maybe commando.

Goon - " you said you would kill me last......."

Arnie - "I lied" laughing out loud


and I love Conan the Barbarian too, is he in Red Sonja also?

SnakeEyes
Yup...

Nobody's mentioned End of Days. It's not a classic of his....but....

HE TAKES ON SATAN!

Gotta give him credit for that.

Spartan005
^ That movie was kinda weird actually

Another movie of his that was pretty good was Eraser.... I just saw it for the first time a couple weeks ago. cool

I liked the beginning.

Or when they slam into the pole with the car, and then it's perfectly untouched seconds later.

Cooke: You scared mother****er? Well you should be because this green beret is going to kick your big ass.
Matrix: I eat green berets for breakfast. And right now I'm very hungry.

Bennett: John, I'm not going to shoot you between the eyes. I'm going to shoot you between the balls.

Matrix: Let off some steam, Bennett.

True Lies
Helen Tasker: Have you ever killed anyone?

No,Its

Anrie" I like you Salie. I'll kill you last."

then later its

Arnie-" Remember when I said I'd kill you last?"

Salie-" Ya, you did! You did say that!"

Arnie-" I lied."

Predator, I think this is the only movie were Arnie is the underdog TRYING to win, lol.

Mišt
Batman and Robin no expression



But seriously...probably Eraser or End of Days as 'normal' films, T2/Commando for action, and Kindergarten Cop for 'comedy'.


"Boys have a penis, girls have a vagina" laughing out loud That always cracks me up...

Silverstein
Kindergarten cop and Jingle all the way are the best

VIDEODROME
Total Recall is my favorite. It's just great as an action movie and also has really great sci-fi in it to.

The Running Man

The Terminator

My favorites are T2, T3, Commando, Kindergarten Cop and Collateral Damage.

<- Liked it.

Thought it was a good idea. Good characters. Funny jokes.

gvendur_1
Terminator 1 and 2
True Lies
Conan The Barbarian

Were his best films

SnakeEyes
Never saw Conan... how good is it?

Pandemoniac
Conan is the mother of swords 'n fantasy movies! The storyline is rather simple but mostly entertaining and has a real epic feel about it. The photography and sets are excellent, lots of action and superb fights and a tight pace which however does leaves room for some humor and drama.
Arnold plays his most brutal character ever and the baddies are well developed with James Earl Jones ruling the screen as the ice cold remorseless leader.
Now off course this movie is already 24 years old, so the visual and violent impact it had on it's release won't be as impressive in these days, and it has a few flaws concerning the acting, but it is definitely a movie you must see.

Makedde
I loved the Conan movies, and True Lies is another favourite of mine, as well as Colateral Damage.

soleran30
Pumping Iron especially in the end when you see Arnold stoned drinking wine with a shirt on that say Arnold is numero Uno singing happy birthday to Lou Ferigno........................priceless that movie shows Arnold. Conan both movies and Predator after that.

Ethan Edwards
His best film is Terminator 2, by a wide margin, I'd say. A great action/thriller with some weight to it.

yeah I totally agree with you.Especially with terminater 1 and two.those were masterpieces.

PunisherKevin
I would have to say Terminator 2 but I do like Total Recall and most of his other movies.

Mindship
T1
T2
Predator
Pumping Iron

...not necessarily in that order.

Storm
If I have to make a choice, The Terminator.

T.M
T2 obviously..

True Lies.
Eraser.
Collateral Damage.







OK kidding on Collateral Damage.

systemshock2
Last Action Hero remains probably my favorite of his. It's a great movie within a movie, and I love all the little fun that it pokes on typical Hollywood movies and their action stars. Any movie where one of the characters asks Arnold how in one scene he can go from being completely oil-drenched to oil free is awesome IMO. This is one of the few movies where Arnold looks like he's having a blast throughout the entire thing. My favorite scene remains the one where he's hanging on the building elevator, and then in slow motion it breaks and he begins to fall down. That look on his face is priceless.

Darth Martin
1. Terminator 2: Judgement Day
2. Predator
3. The Terminator
4. Eraser
5. Commando/True Lies/Total Recall

ragesRemorse
Predator was the movie that made him a hero for me, but true lies and total recal are probably my favorite movies of his

exanda kane
Total Recall. Phillip K. Dick, you legend.

Tempe Brennan
Terminator 2 - definatley one of the best movies of the 20th century.

I doubt anyone would go for any of his comedies, lol

I actually liked T3. The scene with the tow truck was awsome, and there's generally a lot of cool action and destruction in the movie that made it cool.

Also, Arnold's acting ability is really underrated. People have no idea how hard it is to have the same indifferent look on your face in every scene of a movie, as well as using the same tone of voice.

Mr Parker
Didnt you mean to say that his acting is under rated? From what you said after that it sounds like your very impressed with what he did in those movies? confused

Blax_Hydralisk
Meant to say underrated, yeah stick out tongue

LOL. big grin

Darth Martin
Terminator 3 as an action movie was good. It just didn't live up to the expectations of a "Terminator" film and failed to surpass or come anywhere near the first or second installment.

Blax_Hydralisk
I actually found T:II to be boring. And I didn't like that they killed off the black guy for literally no reason at all.

DarkC

T2? Boring? I think it was awesome. One of the rare sequels that surpassed it's predecessor.

I agree with that - no one could play Terminator quite like him. smile

Damn. I haven't seen True Lies for a really long time.


I just remember the scene where the dumb woman drops an Uzi down a flight of stairs and 'accidentally' kills like 5 terrorists. laughing Only in Hollywood.

Terminator 1 and 2.

Funny, but my favorite is Jingle All The Way. I love to see Arnie doing comedic stuff.

I used to love Commando the most, but now I probably like Total Recall.

yeah that makes no since whatsoever how anybody can say that movie is boring. roll eyes (sarcastic) a movie that had so much incredible action in it? whatever. roll eyes (sarcastic) now if someone said they didnt like it because it was too gory,well that would be a criticsm.but boring? laughing whatever.

Commando was actually the most violent film I have ever seen, and still is

Menetnashté
I guess I'd have to say Predator. But it's hard to pick I love so many of his, I mean Jingle All The Way was great so were the terminator films. And of course Conan.

regina414
Arnie in a comedy flick is something nice. I like him in Jingle All The Way. Go Turbo Man!

Bardock42
Totally Total Recall for me.

Discos
call me plain, but it will always be Terminator 2.

second favourite?....probably between Total Recall or Running Man.

I was a total Arnie-head back in my early teen years and have seen motly all of his movies, but most of them seemed similar to the other. Commando was great but I really hated Predetor for some reason.

Darth Martin
Predator is probably his best acting performance along with the The Terminator. But the best movie he happend to star in was Terminator 2: Judgement Day with a great deal of praise going to Robert Patrick and Linda Hamilton.

aciam
Terminator 2 and True Lies- love the team-up with Jamie Lee Curtis
