What are your 3 favorite Arnold Schwarzenegger films ?
- Thread starter Cingular
- Start date
Total Recall
One of my favourite sci-fi films. if this film didn't exist, then the premise of a film featuring Arnold Schwarzenegger vs Michael Ironside would likely be on my wishlist anyway.
Predator
Suspenseful, violent, endlessly quotable and one of the best creature designs out there. More than your average Alien clone.
The Terminator
Most prefer the second but I thought Arnie was much more frightening than Robert Patrick. It's essentially a slasher film, with a sci-fi twist, and the best film James Cameron has made to this day.

Man this is tough!
1. Commando- The most quotable Arnie film, which is really saying something.
2. Terminator - Like Tosk, one of the best films ever made
3. Predator - A great monster/action film, quotable, exciting, and it doesn't outstay its welcome. Plus it doesn't date. They're talking about Libya, Afghanistan...it could have been 2010 not 1987!
T2/Total Recall/The Running Man wouldn't be far behind (probably in that order)

The Terminator
Terminator 2: Judgement Day
True Lies
Terminator 2: Judgement Day
True Lies
It seems like a lot of people forget True Lies. Might be his most underrated movie.
I love True Lies. I toyed with making it my #3, but I just couldn't bring myself to do it.
Can't really think of one other than The Running Man.
No time for a detailed explanation just my top three.
1. Total Recall
2. Commando
3. True Lies
Wish it could have been my top five so I could have included The Terminator and Pumping Iron.

^This.
My favorite of all is Commando. It's a wonderfully over the top comic book with hilarious dialogue, outrageous stunts (Arnold vs 10 mall cops), and Vernon Wells being batshit crazy through the whole thing. My VHS copy taped from cable in the 1980s wore out long ago. I need to get the DVD.
