I stand by the top 8. that just feels like the core of the entire portfolio.

10 could be last action hero. It was ahead of its time. Charles dance was entertaining af. Arnold was great. What more could you want?

He buys up 4k releases and we just watched Predator last week. Pretty fantastic. And out of the ones not listed, my dark horse is definitely End of Days lol. Not the best movie. Or the best Arnold, but I got a big soft spot for it.

I stand by the top 8 as I said in my comment. this is a preference list and takes several factors into consideration. I think Conan is one of the main deals Arnie did. The set design, props, music and shooting were amazing. It does not gel at well as the original... but I absolutely stand by it being better than bad cop to a comedian or a pregnant brute man gimmick. there are some real lameos later in the catalogue as well.

thank you very much! I will never associate myself with Buzzfeed in any way... but I graciously accept your kind comment! honestly I feel kind of cheesy doing back to back arnie topics but it seemed appropriate and on my mind. I've even had a little blowback on one of my list choices, but opinions run high with stuff people have passion on so it's ok.

I think this ranking is right, but sometimes I just want to watch Commando.

Jingle All the Way and Kindergarten Cop are better than Conan the Destroyer, come on.

I disagree with that, and factor in the opinions of others as well. but 100% the two movies you list had several mentions and a real fanbase. maybe we part ways on taste here... but all 3 movies in question are competently put together. Destroyer was my most controversial take, and based on upvotes and downvotes and when they happened... that call doomed this post. And I am ok with that. personally I cannot rank as you do with these 3 movies. If I replaced it, based on opinion and reactions, it might be Last action hero. even red heat.

I appreciate the reply. Well thought out. Of course opinions differ, one of the joys of life. I enjoy the range of Arny from serious action hero to goofy comedy movie so have to acknowledge my favourites.
Last Action Hero and Red Heat are also great movies. I think in general Arny has a very enjoyable catalogue of movies and it is hard to pick only 10.

No Red Heat or Kindergarten Cop? Unforgivable.

Hahahaa! Ok, I totes understand your need to distance yourself from buzzed (they’re not what they used to be!) and I’m glad you understood that I simply meant “popular pop culture media outlet”

Hey, blowback comes with the territory. You’ve got some fans that will support you, and that’s cool, too🫡

I would only change CTD to End of Days, but other than that i'd say it a good chart. And maybe an honourable mentions list. Red Heat and Junior should be somewhere.

Terminator: Dark Fate, his best performance in a wild action packed movie

Putting Predator above both Terminators feels like heresy, but I'll let it slide
