Message: <blockquote data-quote="Wombat" data-source="post: 3758944" data-attributes="member: 8447">I don't think I could come up with a Top 10 for my Govornator...  I dislike so many of his films...Conan was so-so for me when I first saw it, lo many years ago, but it has not aged well at all.  Sure, a couple of good lines, but the acting and swordplay is so cheesy as to ruin it for me without MST3K.Terminator is still good, veyr good.  Then again, I always thought this was roughly the limit of his acting ability -- he looks huge, menacing, unstoppable.  There is something about the scene where he traces down Linda Hamilton to that coffeeshop ... she looks so small and weak, yet this robot from the future still feels the need to haul out a BFG to threaten her.  That really sets the tone for 1) how important she is to the future, despite initial appearances and 2) just how set his programming is.  T2 is a better action film, but it doesn't carry the impact for me that the first one does.  Lots more booms, explosions, and fights, but my ultimate sense of it is that Ahnuld didn't want to be remembered as a Bad Guy.  Kindergarten Cop has two great scenes for me -- Ahnuld beating up the abusive father followed by Linda Hunt dressing him down and then asking, "How did it feel?"  I used to work in a kindergarten class, I am very protective of small children, and I know how many grade school teachers feel on this topic -- we all want a piece of jerks like that.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />  Otehr than that, loathed the film.As for Twins, Total Recall, Commando, Red Sonja, and Predator, I wish I could get my time back.  And the rest I have not seen, nor am I likely to.Ultimately, I am not much of an action film fan...   <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/nervous.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":heh:" title="Nervous Laugh    :heh:" data-shortname=":heh:" /></blockquote>
