top 10 Arnold flicks

hard to get it down to 10

#10: End of Days:
This movie is sick, Arnold fights demons and what not. And what is even sicker is that Arnold dies in it! Now to the casual viewer, so what right? But Arnold has never died in a movie before...so this is a first for his career and the movie is just great too.

#9: Predator:
I know most people will say i'm crazy for putting Predator at number 9, and i love the movie too, but there are so many great Arnold flicks. I also love Jesse the body Ventura and he is awesome in this one.

#8: Eraser:
I LOVE this flick, i shoulda put it higher. Arnold "erases" you if you're like a witness or snitch, kinda like an extreme witness protection program. Arnold is great in this movie and its actually not a cheesy action flick like some of my favorite Arnold movies, it has a great story and his acting is pretty good...

#7: Jingle All the Way:
How can this not be on the list? It's a Christmas classic and its an Arnold flick. I'm a mailman myself, so watching Sinbad play a carrier is hilarious. Phil Hartman is awesome in it and is totally gettin with Arnold's wife on the side...i mean the guy was there when she was showering without Arnold there...oh snap! Also the fight scene at the end with Sinbad is phenomenal, they dress up as the toys and duke it out during the parade float.

#6: Twins:
You were waiting for this one...sorry no Kindergarten Cop on MY list. To this day, i say i'm gonna "nuke" it when i put a lot of parmesan cheese on my pasta...yes i'm from Jersey and love pasta with parmesan. Anyway, Danny DeVito is GREAT on "Always Sunny", anyone else agree? Oh and he's great in Twins too. Love this flick.

#5: Commando:
"Let off some steam, bennett." Best line in any movie, ever. Wait, "Remember when i said i'd kill you last? I lied." Ok, two best lines in any movie ever. Great cheese action flick, the scene in the mall when his plan falls through and has to fight all kinds of security and cops is bad ass. Jumping out of the plane, bad ass. And Alyssa Milano was good in it, i think it was pre-Who's the Boss but i don't know.

#4: Red Heat:
Arnold and Jim Belushi are good as opposites, kinda like Larry and Balky on Perfect Strangers. Arnold is a soviet cop and Jim is a Chicago cop both looking for some Russian dude who's plottin 'ish with some Americans. This movie is the first American film to ever shoot a scene in the famous Red Square...yeah that's how awesome Arnold is. They were like, oh Arnold's in it, hell yeah. If you have never seen this movie, do yourself a favor and check it out.

#3: Running Man:
This is based off a Stephen King book and its better than ANY, i say any flick based on a Stephen King book. Arnold is wrongly imprisoned and only way out is to survive the game show called "Running Man". It takes place in 2019 and television is now running people's lives...wow so far fetched these days, right? Only a matter of time until something like this actually comes to fruition in my opinion. With ace stalkers like Subzero, Buzzsaw, Dynamo, and Fireball will anyone survive this game? Yes, Arnold wil, he always wins...except in End of Days.

#2: Conan the Barbarian:
I chose this over the Destroyer because its better...ok also because James Earl Jones turns from human into a freaking snake! I lied about Commando, this movie has THE greatest line of all time. "What is best in life? Crush your enemies, see them driven before you and hear the lamentations of their women." 'Nuff said.

#1: Pumping Iron:
Ahhhh you were expecting something else, maybe Terminator? Feel like maybe Terminator got a raw deal? See what i did there, Raw Deal was another good Arnold flick that didn't make my list..sorry no room here, its not a top 15. Pumping Iron is astounding. Arnold punks Lou Ferigno SO bad. Arnold and Lou are both competing for Mr.Olympia and Arnold is constantly messing with him. This is not a movie, its more a documentary, which makes it even greater. At one point he tells Lou that he called his mother and is like, "I told her i won yesterday", mind you like two days before the competition even happens..he was cocky and hilarious. A reporter asks them both what kind of milk they use in their protein shakes or do they use water? And as Lou is all serious and starts to answer "whole milk" Arnold cuts him off and is like "girls drinks milk, real men drink beer." I mean that's priceless punking. In front of Lou's parents he says "after i win the competition i'll take your family out for dinner and your sister out to a movie, lou." After the competition like within hours of winning Arnold is smoking a joint while Lou is doing pushups worrying about next year...Arnold is the man and this is his best flick.

Comments

I would vent about how this article sucks here but I'll be nice. (not with my rating) Since you wrote about Arnold, PUT THE COOKIE DOWN!

running man IS on the list, its one of my favorites

Oh, come on! You put End of Days and Jingle All the Way on this list, but not Terminator or Running Man? I must admint, I'm not a hardcore Arnold fan, but this article proves that you're obviously less of a hardcore fan than me.

Jingle all the way?!?!?! Twins!?!?!

No Terminator?? Predator at number 9?!?!?!

Whats wrong with you?!

You should be ashamed of yourself, my gran would make a better article on Arnies top 10 films. You disgrace his name.

Some good movies in there, but too many great ones left out and not in the right order IMO. Conan The Barbarian is a great film, but after reading Robert E. Howard's Conan it's a bit of a disappointment.

What the hell!? The crappy movie Jingle All The Way is on here, BUT NONE OF THE TERMINATORS!?!?

sorry, I meant to put 'true lies' in 4th spot, and 'kindergarten cop' in 10th, canceling out jingle all the way.

Ya this list totally blows. i cannot believe both Terminator movies,total recall, and Kindergarten Cop was not on this list...And 'End Of Days' was one of the most horrible films Arnold has made nearing the end of his career, I thought 'The 6th day' was a much better film, which was released a couple of months after End of Days.

This would be my Top 10...

10.'Jingle All the Way'
9.Pumping Iron (This movie basicaly put Arnold on the map)
8. Conan the Barbarian
7.Commando
6.Terminator
5.Twins
4.Kindergarten Cop
3.Total Recall
2.The Running Man
1. Terminator (arguably one of the greatest Action movies ever made in the 90s and in Arnolds career)

This is probably the worst ranking of Schwarzenegger movies I've ever seen. The correct order is:

#1 The Terminator
#2 Terminator 2
#3 Total Recall
#4 True Lies
#5 Predator
#6 Raw Deal
#7 Red Heat
#8 Twins
#9 Eraser
#10 Conan the Barbarian

kindergarten cop?

...haha arnold dies and does not come back in any way shape or form in end of days, good enough? i love lists but my next article will not be

Hmm, Jingle all the way before Predator!? I'd have to agree with cvillatoro regarding Terminator.

Touche, MANBEARPIG. You are correct. I had forgotten that.

Is it me or does no one remember arnold dies in conan the barbarian then comes back to life. so BO Yah

I think we naturally "list" when thinking about multiple things from the past, it helps us organize our thoughts and put them into action. On another note would it be safe to say that Arnold's character dies in the Terminators?

I could give you mulitple reasons why I dont like list articles, including yours, but whats important is this: Any time you rate the top whatever of whatever many people are going to disagree with you and rate low. So how do we solve this problem? STOP MAKING LIST ARTICLES! Sorry for all caps, and this comment isnt just for you mikemonmouth, your article is no worse than 99.9% of the other list articles on here, I just have a heated hatred for this type of article.

You missed the boat when you left out the Terminators, but I liked this article because it's a list of the greatest Arnold films in YOUR opinion. One man's garbage is another's gold. Thumbs up.

I rated them. Just because I don't comment on them doesn't mean I don't rate them.

Also, name calling is really juvenile. Grow up.

Finally, he is not the same robot in T2, just part of the same series of robots, meaning he looks and sounds the same. Both of them were eliminated. So, it counts. He died in both those movies long before End of Days.

i liked it. thumbs up

i mentioned my other articles bein on frong page because you have only commented on this article when it was on back page and my old user name's 2 that were on back page. the two that were good so far you didn't comment or rate...because you are a tool. anyway, arnold doesn't die in terminator, robots can't die, he's in part 2 and 3.

Let me respond to this:
"well i had my last two article on front page buddy. and no, arnold doesn't die in a flick til end of days...terminator he doesn't die, he's a freakin robot."

Nobody is talking about your past articles. This article is the one we're talking about. I could care less if you had 3,000 articles that were on the front page, this one was still on the back page when I wrote that comment. Get over yourself.

Secondly, Arnold's character dies in Terminator and Terminator 2. Whether he is a robot or not doesn't matter. You didn't say that End of Days was the first movie that he died in that he wasn't a robot, so it still counts, no matter how much you want to discount it. You are wrong. Move on.

Can't stand him now.
Liked him when he was just an actor.

Honestly, This list is poorly written. It offers next to no insight on any movie or why you like them. The only exception being End of days (which was a crapfest) and Pumping Iron. I understand this is you opinion but you expressed it very poorly. Spend more time writting about why you like these movies instead of just giving us "oh this was awsome." In one word. Content.

Commando is my #1. I'm a mailman too, in crappy ass Long Branch N.J.. Are they making you wear ties?

Should've added one of the terminator movies instead of Jingle All The Way, I couldn't stand that one.

There are a lot of Arnold movies I haven't seen, 6 or the 10 you listed. Then again it's possible I've seen them and most of Arnold's moves run together in my head. . .

Terminator 2 didn't make the cut? Terminator 2!?! That is like one of my favorite movies period.

Good list though, I'm off to watch some Arnold movies I somehow missed.

wow, can't believe you didn't put true lies in there....twins? really? that was a piece of shit...
my top 10 arnie films (in no order

true lies
predator
terminator 2
terminator 1
the running man
pumping iron
commando
total recall
last action hero
batman and robin (love the cheese)

I cant agree with End of days but I liked the rest of these

Geez guys give the guy a break, sure he left off movies we would of all had on there like Terminator, True Lies or Total Recall but its all opinion and I for one love the fact that hes not buckling to the pressure of having the most popular Arnold movies on the list if he likes the others more! Bravo I say, we've no need for yet another sheep to follow along with the rest of the flock! Thumbs up!

....my list still would of had Terminator, True Lies and Total Recall though...

christ its just my favorite flicks, you disagree fine, but negative is for poor article i thought? you guys lame lol at least its sparkin such strong feelings. true lies is pretty lame tho, not a big fan. yeah terminator 1 and 2 are good but come on, sooo overrated...i mean its cool but you guys should be complaining about no total recall more, i forgot that one haha. junior, raw deal and kindergarten cop all good but didn't make it, sorry

Some good entries, but like the others have pointed out I can't believe neither Total Recall or True Lies is included. I realize it's your personal opinions but we're in complete disagreement.

I must say for not having any of the first 2 terminator movies, not having Total Recall, True Lies or Kindergarten Cop and for putting predator at number 9...I must give a thumbs down.

Where on Earth is Total Recall!??!

To have End of Days and Red Heat anywhere on the list and not have Terminator 1 or 2 absent leaves me no choice but to say we disagree on best Arnold flicks. Red Heat?! WOW.

jingle all the way!

Props for End of Days, but no True Lies? Blasphemy! lol

I just saved this good article from the back page. One question though, where's Kindergarden Cop?

well i had my last two article on front page buddy. and no, arnold doesn't die in a flick til end of days...terminator he doesn't die, he's a freakin robot.

Okay, let's start with this statement:
"But Arnold has never died in a movie before...so this is a first for his career..."

Arnold died in "The Terminator" and "The Terminator 2: Judgment Day," both of which came out long before this movie.

The fact that they are missing from this list is a crime. So, that alone is why you are on the back page, I think.
