Comment on Brawn, bazookas and killer bots: Arnold Schwarzenegger’s finest films – ranked!
mozz@mbin.grits.dev 3 months agoIf you want to knock down any of the top 4 below their spots, to make room for Predator, we can fight.
Predator is a great fuckin movie. But you gotta keep some perspective. Idk… honestly, maybe knocking Conan down to spot #5 and bumping everything else up so Predator lands at #4 is pretty defensible. But on the whole it’s incredibly rare for me to see one of these ranking lists that I agree with so thoroughly as I do this one.
(“True Lies” and “Last Action Hero” also absolutely need to be reevaluated from the raw deal they got in this listing, too… I actually feel like I can identify exactly the age of the person who wrote the listing purely from the epoch of Arnold movies that made an impact on them)

Get rid of all the movies released in the 2010s, how anyone could claim to be an Arnold fan and rank any of them above True Lies and Last Action Hero tells me they never watched them and relied on garbage reviews to form their “opinion”.

I gotta be honest I never saw any of those ones, or the ones from the 70s. I am only agreeing with the list insofar as it ranks the ones I am familiar with.

You’re in for a treat. True Lies would be at the very least in the top 10 for me personally, Jamie Lee Curtis and Tom Arnold both help keep the movie from being too serious compared to the typical 80s era stuff.
Last Action Hero is fun but wasn’t well received when it came out. Pokes fun at the over the top action movies that came before it. Actually surprised to see it on this list at all. Would still recommend it though.
