01. His best SciFi Modern-esque movie
02. The Red Planet rules!
03. Great movie because it is something that could happen
04. Because I've always dreamed of being able to enter movie worlds like the kids ticket does
05. It's a laugh riot
06. I'm seriously into the idea of brain taping and cloning
07. His pairing with Danny DeVito is genius, the friction of the characters allows for great entertainment
08. Conceptually a neat idea and a great comedy
09. One of my Top 10 holiday movies, lots of comedy and plenty of effed up scenes (love the one with the fake badge)
10. An ok movie by today's standards but superb for the year it camer out.

01. Terminator 2 - Judgment Day
02. Total Recall
03. Eraser
04. The Last Action Hero
05. Kindergarten Cop
06. The 6th Day
07. Twins
08. Junior
09. Jingle All the Way
10. Predator

This is seriously the worst list evar. Last Action Hero and Jingle All the Way before Predator? No Conan?! I'm speechless.

1. Conan the Barbarian - the classic Ah-nuld, all oiled and muscular.
2. Predator - great cast, great lines, great action, awesome BBEG
3. T2 - took the series to new levels and set a new bar for special effects and action
4. T1 - the one that started it all
5. Total Recall - ultra-cheesy but still classic Ah-nuld. Extra points for Kuato and alien chicks with 3 boobs.
6. True Lies - Ah-nuld showing his lighter side. That and Jamie Lee in lingerie.
7. Kindergarten Cop - "It's not a too-mah!"
8. Commando - bad guy in chain mail shirt - nuff said
9. The Running Man - "Sub-zero? Now just plain zero."
10. T3 - a worthy end to the series. Plus Kristanna Loken is the hottest terminator ever.

Now that's an Ah-nuld list.

Below is the Amazon top 25.

Where did you find their list because quite frankly, I think it sucks. I can't believe anyone would construct an Ah-nuld list like that. It defies logic. The Last Action Hero is regarded as one of Ah-nuld's worst movies and they have it at 5. I feel sick to my stomach.

Conan the Barbarian - Not a very good adaption of Conan, but a great movie. I love the ending.
Total Recall - Fun movie. Nice vision of Mars
The Running Man - Not really like the book, but full of great lines
Predator - see recent thread on it.
The Terminator 2 - The biggest movie of its day. I liked the positive tone it took.
The 6th Day - Surprisingly good movie about cloning.
True Lies - Another fun movie
End of Days - Bad, but I like it for some reason.
Conan the Destroyer - Ditto
Commando - Seeing him in that little convertible is great.

The original Terminator should place, but he doesn't do all that much in it, so I discounted it.

This is seriously the worst list evar. Last Action Hero and Jingle All the Way before Predator? No Conan?! I'm speechless.

I don't care for predator as much as I like the other 2.

Maybe if I had ever ssen either of the Conan movies, they'd be on my list.

Lemme take a crack at this.

1) Conan the Barbarian - It's no LOTR, and it's not as well made like The Terminator, but it's still my favorite flick of the guvunah. Fantastic production design, amazing score, hardcore action, and some of the best lines in all of moviedom. (And hear the lamentation of the women! )
2) Terminator 2 - Always enjoyed this film more than the first, if only for the groundbreaking special effects, and the fact that Ahnuld is the good guy here.
3) The Terminator - But of course. Still the scariest scifi movie I've ever seen. The guvunah was perfect for this flick.
4) True Lies - Wonderful third collaboration with James Cameron. A hilarious action comedy with a brilliant supporting role from Jamie Lee Curtis. Also enjoyed the way it gleefully pokes fun at terrorists.
5) Predator - As I said before on the thread on this, the action is cheap, and the testosterone level so high it's laughable. But the title creature itself still makes this one of the guvunah's most memorable flicks.
6) The Running Man - Been awhile since I saw this, but what I remember of it was pretty good. Also has some of Ahnuld's best quotes, despite being mid 80's action cheese.
7) Terminator 3 - Unlike most people, I find this a pretty good flick. Props to Nick Stahl and Claire Danes for some fine supporting performances.
8) Twins - Funny movie, and the Ahnuld and DeVito have great chemistry together.
9) Commando - 80's cheese yes. But it's good 80's cheese to be sure.
10) Total Recall - If it weren't for the excessive gore I would rate this much higher. But it's still one of the better scifi action flicks out there.

And you know what, I MIGHT have seen Kindergarden Cop, but I don't remember it well enough to place anywhere.
