 |
|
The guy is a Legend. The fact that he cant act doesn't stop him being one of the finest actors to grace Hollywood. Mr Freeze anyone?
I was watching 'Total Recall', this morning. Its probably my favourite, its just so camp its brilliant, like a flash gordon that takes itself seriously. the plot is very twisty-turny for an arnie movie as well, combined with a ridiculously high body count, its a definite under appreciated classic.
Honourable mentions go to T2, True Lies and Commando (homo-erotic tree carrying opening not withstanding. |

True Lies has to be up there.
I always thought Last Action Hero was way underrated.
Predator ... all time classic. |

The satirical jab at the action genre was lost on some.

You're a joke, right?
No, my reply wasn't a joke but rather an opinion. |

I'm actually impressed with his environmental views, despite his political leanings.  |

Arnold's been involved with several great (or, at the very least, enjoyable) films, but I cast my vote for Conan the Barbarian.

Yeah, my Airedale terrier missed the subtleness of the film entirely. Difficult stuff. |

Kindergarten Cop.
Not really, I just voted that way to skew the results of the poll. And I'm telling you, because I like to make people angry. When you get angry, look at my avatar. Stare at it for a while, and take a deep beath, It's therapy. I'm just trying to help.
My actual vote would be Total Recall. Lots of bright, pretty colors. I think I was high when I saw it in the theater the first time. Pretty sure I was high when I came out.
I like bright, pretty colors. |

No doubt about it, Arnie's greatest role was his first film. It was a documentary about when he won his last Mr. Olympia title, called 'Pumping Iron".
His main competition at the time was a young Lou Ferrigno. The way he played with Lou's mind was hilarious. When Lou took the stage he was already finished, Arnie had him so psyched out.
Icing on the cake scene: Arnold with his arm around Lou's mom on the bus ride after the competition and his announced retirement, smoking pot and drinking a glass of wine, asking Lou what his sister is all about!!!!! |

| Conan the Barbarian for sure. Best Oliver Stone script ever, too. |
