As much as I like Total Recall and Predator... I'm high on the first Terminator. I just love the cheesy 80s sci-fi music and the special effects were also a charm. It's gotta be the best indy sci-fi film ever made. oh yeah... and there's just something about Arnold playing a bad guy that I simply prefer. I feel that all of the Terminator films should have had Schwarzenneger as a villain.

I also happen to like True Lies a lot. I still think Jamie Lee Curtis looked pretty hot in that dancing scene... she was still a hottie then, not so much now.

True Lies was awesome. Ahead of its time for 1994.

It was more than just an action movie. Good chemistry between Schwartzenegger and Curtis. Good supporting roles...esp tom arnold. He's perfect in that kind of sidekick role.

Tia Carrere, another good choice. She wasn't just a ditzy girl. There were smart actors in the whole movie.

-Great, iconic scenes....ie. horse in the lobby, bridge going out, etc.

Tough call but since he spoke the least in Terminator, I picked that one.

Don't really have a favorite but my least favorite was when he starred in that comedy where he pretended to be a bumbling idiot while serving as governor for the state of California. That movie was just awful.

Although, I did like the drama that he was in where he chose his dowdy, middle-aged Latina housekeeper over his political dynasty, socialite wife and had a secret life and secret love child. That movie was pretty interesting.

That was just the ending to the same movie...it was a dramatic comedy.

If this doesn't make you want to crush your enemies and see them driven before you, nothing will:
