Note that the following movies are on this list because they are badly-wrought, and do such a poor job of living up to their potential. Or they were just utterly lame.1. T3. Wow. Stiff beyond belief, and completely lacking the James Cameron style from the first two.2. Batman and Robin. Joel Schumacher made an entertaining movie for an audience that I am so completely and utterly not a part of that it is hard for me to objectively realize that this movie could even exist. Campy Batman is, sadly, historical, but it's not what I wanted to see.3. Junior. Just lame. It wasn't clever the way Twins was. Schwarzenegger and DeVito #2 should've been better than this. Or at the very least, he should've had twins at the end. Get it? Wakka wakka!4. Last Action Hero. Not utter crap, but just exceedingly subpar. Remember, no cute kids.5. Conan the Destroyer. Lacked the primitive majesty of the first one.6. Red Sonja. He was in this? Damn, I had blocked it from my mind. . . . Commando almost makes this list because of how lame 'Matrix' is as a villain. And now the List of Good Arnold Movies.Yes, there are only seven.7. Terminator. Arnold doesn't do much here. There's really not much of a plot. But it's an intense survival horror movie.6. Total Recall. I haven't watched it in a while, so I imagine some of the sci-fi elements will come across as lame now, but it was really fun when I was growing up.5. Twins. Damn, Arnold can be funny.4. Conan the Barbarian. Really, this one ranks so high because of the music, which is getting used in the Conan game I play in on Saturdays. It is very hard not to feel like a bad-ass with that soundtrack backing you up. But it's also a very primal tale of a man realizing his Self.3. True Lies. Maybe placed a little higher on the list than it should be, but for me it does a great job of making 'cheesy Arnold' work without ruining the action. "You know my handcuffs? I picked them." *kill*2. Predator. It's a shame that my D&D parties object to being picked off one by one until only the strongest is left. In the upcoming 7th adventure of War of the Burning Sky, one scene involves the heroes having to track down a villain who a lot like the predator - hiding in plain sight in the trees, ambushing the party and stealing their dead.1. Terminator 2. It's slick, it's epic, it's heroic. And it provoked this exchange this past weekend.Girl: "I actually cried at the end of Serenity. Oh my god, I'm such a tear factory. I cry at movies all the time."My very macho friend Orinthol: "I cried at a movie once. Terminator 2. At the end, where the terminator is going down into the molten steel and he gives the kid the thumbs up? It was like Old Yeller, only this ain't no f***ing dog. This is a robotic killing machine. Making a kid give up his pet robotic killing machine? That's sad."</blockquote>
