I can't leave this out. It's based on one of my favorite short stories.

We may need a separate thread for Arnold's best one liner in a film, but I can't resist these:
"I let him go." (said to Rae Dawn Chong in COMMANDO)
"Consider that a divorce." (said to Sharon Stone in TOTAL RECALL)
"I'll be back." (said to a bunch of people; see below."

Thanks for the input. Films mentioned more than once are on the following short list:
Pumping Iron
Conan the Barbarian
The Terminator
Raw Deal
Predator
Terminator 2: Judgment Day
Based on this list, Arnold was at his best in the 1980s in film (& he was one of the top Hollywood box office draws in that decade). Only one film from the 1970s is on the list, & only one from the 1990s is on the list (& no film was mentioned after 1996).
A couple of things. I was surprised how many mentioned Predator. I was also surprised that only I mentioned Twins & True Lies.

Here is Arnold's new film, still in post-production. Co-starring Jackie Chan, the film is a Russian international production.
It became common in the 1980s in Hollywood to do high concept films. The idea has to be summarized in 10 words or less, & get the attention of a studio exec who can greenlight the production while hearing the summary at a crowded & noisy cocktail party. Arnold's first high concept film needed only six words: Arnold & Danny DeVito are brothers.
