Arnold Schwarzenegger.

True, His recent career is starting to smell like a rotten spiced sausage, but Arnie has pulled off some quality movies in the past. From his break through in movies like "Conan" and "The Terminator", to trying his hand at comedy as in "Kindergarten Cop".

So What's your favourite Schwarzenegger movie? Will the Muscle Bound Austrian ever be seen in another quality film during his life time? Terminator 3 is on its way. Is this one step too far or will it ruin the name of the Terminator series?

And finally, has anyone here seen "Cactus Jack"? It's a late seventies Western starring, yep, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and it is truly the most bizarre film that I have ever watched.

Discuss.

Whoops, I completely forgot Total Recall and The Running Man (which I reviewed here at SR before the DVDs disappeared)

Classics

i no twins is no way better than the termantor series, they rule.

Meh, ironically called 'Twins'. Twins better than the Terminator series!? Are you bloody mad!? I'll have you know that the Terminator films are two of the best films ever made, thank you very much! ;D

Sorry, I feel strongly about this. Ignore me.

Oh god, how could I forget total recall. I thought that film was great, and had some good sci-fi sets and effects, but it was the action scenes which made it so enjoyable to watch.

yes i like the running man to what is your favourite bit in it?

A western with Arnie in? That'll be funny. Must see that.

For some reason, always found The Running Man fun to watch.

Sounds a bit like how the 6th day was. It was a good if dissapointing film, but I did expected more in the way of action especially from an arnie flick. I thought it was funny though, especially when arnie teamed up with his cloned self and they amazed each other with the explosion they made before they rescued their/his family

Yes. The plot was based on a road runner cartoon. Hard to believe, but those who've seen it would understand!

My favourite Arnie movies are Terminator 1 and Terminator 2 (Though I can never decide which i prefer...). I also like True Lies (Excellent mix of Action Und Comedy).

I didn't think much of collateral damage though. It's watchable, but nowadays I always expect a comedy line or two from a schwarzenegger film, but collateral damage failed to deliver. (except *Teeny Spoiler* BADGUY: "So, when were you going to kill me?" ARNIE: "Now" *Throws axe at bad guy*).

Ah yes, predator and the two terminator films where great, in fact I think a new special edition DVD of predator is out soon. Needless to say I will be getting that when its released, the last predator DVD didn't really boast as many extras as the new version.

I also missed out on arnies new film collateral damage, from what I heard it too was a good film, but I'll have to wait to see myself when it gets released to video.

Was that the one where his character's name was "Handsom Stranger"?

Anyway, True Lies, Terminator 1 + 2 are my favourite Arnie films, but one can't forget classics like Predator and Commando. End Of Days ain't bad either.
