Ouch! My joke bites me back!

Cool! I think that will be one of my random weekend purchases now! Thanks!

"GET DOOOOOOOOOOWNNNN!!!!!!!!!!"
- My favorite from... well, half of his movies..

I remember another good one.

"Don't disturb my friend, he's dead tired."

And a double dose of greatness.

"Let off some steam, Bennett."


Oh, "Commando"...why have i denied your greatness and not added you to my collection?

I've got the Schwarzenegger box set that was released years ago. By now, every movie except for Commando has had a SE released. Commando has been showing on FX and Spike TV recently so maybe, a SE is in the works for sometime later this year?

definitely get the original Conan. Apart from that terribly unecessary scene early in the film with the witch I think its really an outstanding movie. The action is good, the set design and production is outstanding, and the music is awesome. The sequel is a step backwards in my opinion, but i'll still watch it.

my favorite line from Commando (during the fight with Cook)

Cook: F*ck you A**hole! <click! click!>
Arnold: No! Fawk _you_ Awshole!


also dont forget the highly underrated "Let's Pawwty (party)" line when he is about to fight Bennet.

I was a huge fan of AHnold growing up in the 80's (but I wouldn't call him my favorite "actor", does he really act?). Seeing his movies in the mid-to-late-80's on opening nights were EVENTS. Beach balls in the theater and people shouting and cheering, and this was your average, run of the mill crowd in suburbia, not some pre-screening or fan only screening.

I gave up on him after "Last Action Hero", although I did end up seeing "End Of Days" and "T3" just because some people I was with wanted to see it. I believe his glory days were before and including "T2".

The only thing I would want to see him in nowadays would be "KING CONAN" as directed and written by John Milius, but I don't think it's going to happen.

My Top 5 AHnold Movies

1. Conan The Barbarian
2. Terminator
3. Predator
4. Total Recall
5. Terminator 2

Special Nods...

Hercules In New York - just unintentionally funny to watch
Kindergarten Cop - not too bad for a comedy with kids, some great quotable dialogue, too.
Commando - hands down the best movie ever for funny action movie one liners

My favorite AHnold quote (and it's a running gag from "Commando")...

at the airport....
Sully: Here's twenty dollars to get some beers in Val Verde. It'll give us all a little more time with your daughter.
Matrix: You're a funny man, Sully, I like you. That's why I'm going to kill you last.

Matrix is dangling Sully over a cliff by his leg
Matrix: Remember, Sully, when I promised to kill you last?
Sully: That's right, Matrix. You did.
Matrix: I lied.

Matrix is meeting up back with Cindy
Cindy: What happened to Sully?
Matrix: I let him go.

I think 11-12 year males, including me at the time, would have to disagree with that statement, heh. Besides, she pointed the way for Conan to begin looking for the Snake Cult.

Well i think that Arnold is definately NOT an actor. He has a charisma and he does the whole action role well....but its not really acting. However i tend to always find him entertaining and have in my collection:

The Terminator (This i think along with T2 are his best roles for actual acting).
Terminator 2
Terminator 3
Total Recall
Conan the Barbarian
Predator (I think this is his best film overall....possibly the greatest action film of all time).

I still need to get Raw Deal, Commando and True Lies (Waiting for a decent DVD of this one) which i also like. Its a shame that he did the whole governor thing as i still wanted to see a sequel to True Lies, maybe T4, I Am Legend (Better than having bloody Will Smith in the role), Crusades and definately a decent sequel to Conan. Crown of Iron sounded like it was going to be excellent....especially with Milius back behind the camera.

Of my collection i think i have more Clint Eastwood films than any other actor. I have Dirty Harry, The Enforcer, Magnum Force, Where Eagles Dare, In The Line of Fire, The Eiger Sanction, A Fist Full of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, Firefox and i still have a few more to get my hands on. Now that is an actor.

I see there is no love for The Villian. I always crack up watching that movie. Arnold and Kirk at their best!

when was he ever considered an actor in the first place? just because you exist in huge action pics does not an actor make.

Jadow

He is one of my favorites, about #1, even though he hasn't made a really great movie in nearly 15 years.

I hope he gets beat in CA just he can play King Conan
