This one is very tough for me. Pretty much a 3-way tie between Total Recall, Running Man and Predator, but if the chips are down I say Total Recall.

Don't take "Commando" not leading the poll as "nobody loves the movie" because the movie is well loved.

Terminator 2 by far.

Then I'd say Kindergarten Cop.

Terminator, Predator, and commando are my favorites. I voted Terminator. T2 is overrated, imo.

I love Last Action Hero, so many great lines in that one.

"I know I am. I'm the famous comedian Arnold Braunschweiger."
"Silent but deadly!"
"Something is rotten in the state of Denmark, and Hamlet is taking out the trash."
and of course my favorite
"You wanna be a farmer? Here's a couple of acres!" right before kicking someone in the nuts and they go flying five feet in the air

I always liked the part where he was "Hamlet".

Conan would be my favorite movie on that list despite Arnold.

I would have to say that The Terminator is the best movie he actually added to.

Re: Favorite movie starring Arnold Schwarzenegger

The Terminator...Arnold was a total badass, and scary to boot. It's my favorite Sci-Fi flick of all time. T2 is also fantastic, but the original gets my nod.

Kindergarten Cop is another favorite of mine.

How about when he pulls the cab driver out from his seat and rants about his one-liners Danny was telling him about. "Rubber baby buggie bumpers! Ha! You didn't know I was going to say that, did you?"

Plus Stallone staring in the role of Terminator 2 was a great joke.

I also love Total Recall, "Ha ha ha you think this is the real Quaid?...It is" (followed by him killing a bunch of goons)

Re: Favorite movie starring Arnold Schwarzenegger

I actually like Raw Deal. Its a great representative of his genre. sure there are better films out there - Predator, T1 + T2, but Joseph P. Brenner is my favorite character. Don't ask what the P stands for.

Definitely Conan. The Barbarian, not O'Brien.

Ridicule me if you must but I voted other.
My favorite is "Jingle all the Way". Its actually one of my favorite Christmas movie too. I dunno there's just something about it.

Re: Favorite movie starring Arnold Schwarzenegger

I'd go with all of the above (minus Last Action Hero) since I'm such a big 80's Arnold fan, but I decided to throw my love to the homo-eroticism of Commando. Too many classic lines in there.
