What's the best Schwarzenegger action flick (vanity)

Arnie starred in a LOT of great action/sci-fi flicks in his day. I'd like the FReepers who watched these flicks to weigh in on this (a friend of mine and I got in an argument today about the best one - I won't reveal my pick just yet).

The Terminator Total Recall Predator Commando Terminator 2 The Running Man

[freebilly]

RINO I & II

[9422WMR]

predator #1

[SkyDancer]

True Lies

[calex59]

I like the one he hasn’t done yet: “I’m leaving California and won’t be back!”. That sounds like a real winner to me.

[cranked]

End of Days.

[PetroniusMaximus]

Rambo!

[BlueStateBlues]

MARRY ME A KENNEDY, WIN ME AN ELECTION

[JoeProBono]

[freebilly]

Pretty tight action...!

[steelyourfaith]

Predator

[tired1]

Terminator vs The Sardines (purely fiction like the rest)

[Galatians513]

True Lies is possibly the best action flick ever made.
One of his movies that gets overlooked, I think, is Red Heat.

[Rocko]

I always liked the first Conan film.

"What is best in life?"

[Yossarian]

His biggest movie so far? “The Valley that Hope Forgot, or How to be a Girlieman and Starve the San Joaquin Valley”

[ChocChipCookie]

Terminator. That was an awesome movie.

[goat granny]

Predator 1 Kindergarden cop Total recall

I'll bet there are some California citizens that wished he'd have stuck to acting...

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Hands down would be Terminator II. That is the quintessential Arnold movie and made him the icon (in movie terms) that he is today.

[Question Liberal Authority]

1) Terminator 2: Judgment Day

2) True Lies

3) Total Recall

4) Terminator

5) The Running Man

in approximately that order.

[aruanan]

I liked Terminator 2, Running Man, and True Lies.

[perfect_rovian_storm]

The original Terminator is the best, followed closely by Terminator 2.

For those who think that Predator is actually the best, I challenge you to think so after you’ve watched the Rifftrax version. (and frankly, I wonder if you’ve watched it since 1987 anyway...)

[St. Louis Conservative]

I thought Terminator 2 was excellent.

[Pinkbell]

That’s funny.

[Roscoe Karns]

[GSP.FAN]

I'll be back...........

[FlingWingFlyer]

Predator. The key characters had a reason for being in the jungle. Most movies like this have the key characters going somewhere with a couple girls and a case of beer only so they can be antagonized by the evil character for two hours.

[Pharmer]

1)Terminator (”appropriate response” f*ck you, asshole!)

2)True Lies (What kind of cop are you? (to a horse!) Yea but they were all bad!)

3)Commando (Remember Sully when I told you I would kill you last? I lied!)

[buccaneer81]

Predator.

[fso301]

Terminator 1

[SeekAndFind]

Arnold was considered a passable actor BEFORE he made the first terminator movie.

So, I would say that TERMINATOR made him the star that he became.

Too bad, I can’t say the same of him as governor.

[perfect_rovian_storm]

The flimsiest and most pathetic reasons to be in the jungle...it would have been more believable if they had been there for beer and girls.

[South40]

The one he's yet to make. I beleive it's going to be called "Fat, Retired Loser".

[FlingWingFlyer]

LOL! Yeah, you’re probably right.

[Melas]

Conan, by far. Terminator a distant second. Predator is #3.

[rawhide]

Has he ever had any flops?

[SERKIT]

The McBain series of movies.

[St. Louis Conservative]

No way True Lies is that high. Running Man is top 3 because the plot was very unique and interesting (it was written by Stephen King).

[Melas]

Yeah, like other 65 year old men look so much better. I never got the point of these aging pictures of Arnold. Yes, getting old sucks, we know that. Yes, it even brings down the titans among us, we know that too. So what is the point?

[martin_fierro]

Hercules in New York (complete with dubbed-over voice)

< /kidding >

[LukeL]

See #33

[Electric Graffiti]

lmao

Minnow Man

[dawn53]

Ditto

[wolf24]

Hercules in New York.

Just kidding.

Conan the Barbarian.....

[Pelham]

“predator #1”

A two-governor movie. Let’s hope that’s all considering how those two turned out.

[perfect_rovian_storm]

lol...I seriously recommend the Rifftrax version of it. I just watched it a couple of weeks ago. It really shines a light on just how bad the movie really is. I used to watch it as a kid and I hadn’t seen it in many years, but oooh, man....lol

[PLMerite]

Stay Hungry (Sally Field naked)

True Lies (Jamie Lee Curtis almost naked)

[St. Louis Conservative]

Total Recall (after he shoots Sharon Stone....”consider it a divooorce”...LOL!)

[1035rep]

Terminator

[Political Junkie Too]

I thought he was great in Hercules... no, wait...
