True Lies, T2 and Kindergarten Cop are my top three Arnold movies. True Lies is one of my favorite movies overall, too.

Total Recall.

Excessive violence, complete and utter disregard for the live of innocent bystanders, mutants, a colony on another world, cold blooded murder, great dialogue, a three breasted submachinegun toting midget hooker, double amputations, and a superb cast.

It has it all.

Of the more mainstream movies, T2.

I totally agree. Last Action Hero was an excellent parody of action movies. I thought it was genius.

Predator, even though I think the supporting cast was the main thing that made the movie as good as it is.

"You're bleeding!"
"I ain't got time to bleed!"

:D

Yup, two governors in one movie= instant greatness.

Total Recall and Running Man were really great movies... until T2 and True Lies came along.

It's a tough fight between those...... maybe I should go buy the DVDs and watch them again :D

Terminator 2 was an absolutely amazing movie. IMO, THE best action movie of all time. The effects are stunning yet not over the top, the lines are catchy but not too cheesy, the action just flows throughout the movie with a killer ending, and it has alot of true sci-fi undertones to give you some intellectual stimulation. I adore Predator, but it isn't as refined and well formed as T2. Best movie ever.

Last Action Hero. Best movie ever.

EDIT: Why does everyone think that True Lies was so funny? Meh, I thought it was a mediocre Arnold movie.

Tom Arnold was great, and freaking hilarious. I might venture a guess that you saw True Lies on tv and not in theatres or on video, it is best when left uncensored just like all Arnold movies.

I saw it on DVD and never once thought of it as a comedy movie.
