Conan the Barbarian - while not a faithfull adaptation of REH's Conan it is still a truly excellent S&S flick.  Great lines, great soundtrack, a great James Earl Jones villan and Arnie's performance really pulls it all together.2. Terminator 2 - still the benchmark for all "Blockbuster Action Movies" to come.3. True Lies - good action/comedies are supprisingly hard to make, but this was a great one!4. The Terminator - as much as everybody loves to make fun of Arnold's "bad acting" there is a reason the man became a Mega Movie Star.  This movie, along with Conan, reminds us just how much of a physical presence the man has on screen and how well he can harness his raw charisma.  Muscle-bound dudes are a dime a dozen in LA after all.5. Predator - great dialogue, great action and one of the best movie monsters ever (so glad they went with the re-design instead of sticking with the origional concept!)6. Total Recall - waaaaay over-the-top violence with just enough existentialism to keep your brain from falling completly asleep.7. The Running Man - waaaaay over-the-top violence with just enough social commentary to keep your brain from falling completly asleep.8. Conan the Destroyer - cheesy and not as good as the first, but I'll still watch it any time it's on TV.9. Twins - playing straight-man for Danny DeVito?  Who knew it would be so good?10. Terminator 3/The 6th Day/Eraser/End of Days - his later-day high budget action fests were mostly by-the-numbers jobs, but still decent popcorn fun.  Note, this does not include Collateral Damage, that movie suckedLater</blockquote>
