    Back to Arnie after yesterdays discussion.

    Was T2 his last truly awesome movie ? I have a feeling it might be given the rest of the Terminators were mixed at best, Last Action Hero was a bit of a weird misfire as was End of Days……there was also a fair bit of crap after them too…..

    True Lies was after T2 wasn't it?

    Yep, I wouldn’t call it one of his best.

    Really? I would.

    Hmmmmmm. Up there with Commando, Conan, Predator, Running Man, first two Terminators, Total Recall etc ?

    It’s been awhile I may have to rewatch

    True Lies is epic. Great, great film.

    Ok, will definitely rewatch. Unlike others that’s one I haven’t seen multiple times.

    T2 is arguably his best film ever of course

    Just remember it's actually a comedy.

    I like T2 but prefer T1. But that's just my preference. I've also got a soft spot for Red Heat because I had a dub of it in the 80s so watched it lots. Unsure how it would hold up now.

    Fubar was fun. I think a 2nd series is coming.

    Both outstanding.

    My next favourite would be the Christian Bale one that everyone hated.

    Yeah, so do I. Maybe it was because of Gina Gershon and watching it in my teens?

    Let's Start a Cult.

    Not bad, mildly amusing. Eric Rahill will probably have a breakout role.

    It's funny, I recall True Lies wasn't greatly received at the time (I saw it at the cinema and liked it) but there was an article shortly thereafter about how it would be one of those films that's appreciated in future years. Would definitely agree with that.

    of the Arnie classics I've seen dozens of times ( you know, ones where you can pretty much recite the movie from start to finish ) True Lies hasn't been on the list for whatever reason. Will try and remedy that this weekend given what has been written here.

    Eraser either.

    End of Days had its moments.

    Maggie was pretty shit on first viewing but I wouldn't mind giving it another chance, I think it took me by surprise a bit at the time.

    Then again, forget the ones mentioned. You can't top this, EVER.

    Free on Youtube too, what an age we live in.

    Not in the Land of the Free, apparently.
    (Whoever told you that is your enemy!)
    Now I have to guess at what the movie is... Conan?

    It’s free for a reason from the clips I’ve seen.
