    What do you think are some of Arnolds best films?

    I ask this question because tonight on Stars ACTIOn they were playing Commando, and although it is filled with Cheesy one liners, and a way over the top story, this was one of Arnolds better films, especially considering the garbage he has put out recently. So what do you consider some of his best films (excluding T1 or T2.)

    I think The Terminator is his best film.

    total recall is genius....awesome movie...

    "Hi, I'm Johnny Cab, where would you like to go?"
    "****, ****!!"
    "i'm not familiar with that address..."

    awesome awesome awesome.

    Predator is next, not too much speaking from Arnie.

    Saw Raw Deal once years ago and hated it....Commando is OK but Rae Dawn Chong is annoying....funny seeing a young Alyssa Milano playing his daughter!!

    I'd say Terminator but since I can't...

    Predator is a great film.

    Commando is still watchable, back in the day I'd have said it was his best. My favorite line from that film is when some lowly petty officer says to Bennett "Cutting a little girls throat is like a warm knife to butter" and Bennett replies "Put the knife away... and shut your mouth"

    Total Recall is a great film that was made a few years too early, effects wise.

    Honestly, from Terminator to True Lies, the guy was on a roll that'd make Tom Hanks jealous.

    Predator,total recall,Commando,conan,Raw deal was ok,Eraser was watchable,& true lies although crap and overblown still had a typical arnold rampage on it with lots of guns & breaking about a dozen necks

    Commando was one of those 80's style action films that ya just dont get anymore,muscles,loopy bad guys,no real politics or deep meanings,just a man on a mission taking on an entire army single handed & a showdown with the "end boss"!oh yeah & guns that hold 50,000 rounds in a small banana clip!everytime i go paintballing & im putting my gear on before the game,this scene goes through my head

    Predator. That movie is awesome. Not just for it's day...it is still great fun and--as the old joke goes--I still think Carl Weathers has a political office with his name on it.

    Commando is awesome...cheesy...fun. Conan the Barbarian, despite not being true to the source material in some respects, was still pretty great. Running man, for so early on in the 80s, was good old fashion fun. Total Recall I never warmed to, despite a pretty good cast.
