Arnold's Movies how they stack up
Now that he had given up politics and Caroline Kennedy has dumped his sorry ass, what do you think of his movies?
I always thought that Predator was his best film. The action, dialogue, the characters in that movie. A real macho film.
Total Recall a close second despite the over the top violence, a good story. The Terminator is very good too and is where he finally found his niche.
I was never that fond of T2 Judgement Day, I liked him better as the heartless killing machine from the first Terminator.
I would say that Red Sonya along with the Conan films are pretty bad.
the ugly: him banging his Colombian housekeeper. He probably did it in Caroline's bed.

Terminator 1 & 2 are tops for me. I agree that he's better as the heartless killing machine though. It made sense in part 2 but no sense at all in part 3. He absolutely should have been bad in that one, no question about it.
Following close behind are True Lies, Predator and Commando. The later being a guilty pleasure of mine- I made it my duty to show it to as many people in College as I could :-bd
I do like the first Conan movie- not because it's good per se- but mostly because of the wonderful music and because Arnold's so young.
1. T2
2. Predator
3. The Terminator
4. Total Recall
5. True Lies
@Master_Dark. How could I forget Commando? A guilty pleasure for me too :D
Incidently, did you know Timothy Dalton has a cameo in Last Action Hero?
Possibly the lowest point in Arnie's film career however has to be conducting a choir in blue slippers to "I'm Mr White Christmas".
Oh, and all these lines [-( [-( [-(
Urgh! So bad but so hilarious
1. Terminator 2
2. The Terminator
3. Predator
4. True Lies
5. Kindergarten Cop
Everything else has been pretty forgettable. His involvement in Batman & Robin is better off erased from our minds.
1- Commando
2- Predator
3- Terminator 2
4- Terminator
5- Total Recall
I'm glad he's given up politics and is back to doing what he does best: action films (Expendables 2, that new film he has with Johnny Knoxville).
Commando
End of Days
The Terminator
Collateral Damage
Predator
Raw Deal
True Lies
Eraser
Total Recall
The Running Man
probably his best years were between 1985-90. I saw Hercules in New York, and I hated it. Should of brought him back for Predator 2, and kept it jungle themed instead of the urban sprawl of Los Angeles and a different lead actor
By the way, he was married to Maria Shriver; not anyone named Caroline.
True Lies is my favorite. Putting him together with Tom Arnold was great casting, in my opinion. Much better than any of his pairings with Danny DeVito.
Then comes his work on Terminator, his most notable role (who doesn't know Arnie as the Terminator? Really? My mom, who has never seen an action film in her life, knows Arnie as the Terminator), and humorously, my favorite is the one he doesn't play himself in - Salvation.
Predator comes next. "Get to da choppa!", c'mon! The second most iconic Arnie line.
I've yet to see him in Expendables 2, but his cameo in Expendables is pure gold. Just his lines in the commercials for Expendables 2 are pure gold to me.
He's one of my heroes. Greatest body builder in history, fantastic film career; his rise to fame and his dedication to achieving his goals is inspirational.
'I want to be a body builder'- becomes one of the best ever.
'Now I want to be an actor in Hollywood'- becomes one of the most recognizable, action heroes of all time
'I want to be the Governor of California'- can't say how well he did (I live in Maryland) but he sure as hell did just that!
Pretty damn impressive if you ask me-- there will never be anyone like Arnold again! He is a living legend
He's brilliant in Expendables 2. Steals every scene he's in, I was so glad he returned on top form. I don't think it's fair to count that as an Arny film though because of the massive cast.

Not where I thought you were going with that one...
Predator's great but better than T2? Never!!! ;)
T2 also has Robert Patrick in it. Predator does not. The actor who played Cook in Commando can't come close to him :p
T2 wins.
I love True Lies...the inspiration for GE ;)
