Favourite Arnie film?

Mine has to be Predator, if for no other reason than the brilliant script. Fine, plot wasn't outstanding, but the banter was awesome.

-Dillon! You Sonofab*tch! What's the matter? CIA got you pushing too many pencils?
-Make it easy on yourself, Dutch... Okay, okay, you got me!
-You never did know when to quit, did you! What is this f*cking tie business, man?
-Forget about my tie, man. Hey, I heard about that you job you pulled off in Berlin, Dutch, very nice. Why'dya pass on Libya.
-It wasn't my style.
-You got no style Dutch, you know that! C'mon, why'dya pass it up?
-We a rescue tea. Not assassins.

etc.

And of course, the chopper scene with Jesse Ventura!

-Get that stinking sh*t outta my face.
-Bunch of slack-jawed f*ggots 'round here! This stuff'll make you a ******* sexual tyrannasaurus. Just like me.
-That's a real nasty habit you got there...

I could go on, but I'd be typing for a long time...

Good question.

Probably T2.

I also liked Kindergarten Cop.

Terminator 2

Hmmm Arnie...he's got a few good ones, my personal favourite is Terminator (I think he was born to play a robot ) T2 was also good, but a bit confusing. Total Recall was also pretty good, I saw it a while ago and I remember the plot being a bit confusing...I'll have to have a look at it again

Conan The Barbarian! I can't believe nobody mentioned that one!

Preditor
Termintor 1 + 2
Total Recall
True Lies

Conan! What a film!

I love that bit at the beginning when his father is telling him about the secret of steel.

"You can trust no-one, no man, no woman, no beast, but this (pointing to his sword), Conan, this you can trust"

Or when they're fighting at the end.

"No-one will remember who won or lost. All that will be remembered is that few stood against many (mind goes blank)... and if you can't grant me that, then to hell with you!"

"What is the meaning of life, Conan"
"To destroy your enemies, to see them scattered before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women"

I'm sorry, ALL these quotations are just slightly wrong. I'm going to have to watch it again and do some revision.

HaHa Priceless!

Running Man

Commando

Predator

Terminator (1)
Arnie talks too much in T2 and the action's not even scary
... just one big stunt set-up after another.

I'd probably say Total Recall, but that was because I loved Rachel Ticotin and Sharon Stone just as much as Arnie in that film

Terminator. By far his best film. Also the only film that Arnie's poor acting abilities do not affect his performance since he is just a robot. His other terminator films suffered from having him being more talkative.

Pumping Iron

Arnold is the most fascinating when he's just being himself.

And BTW, I just realized I have a documentary to add if I submit a documentary list. You should add it, too.

Predator by a long long way.
