It was pure terror when he transformed.

But they also have a kill count, probably in the thousands. From the classic Arnold Schwarzenegger action films like Predator and Commando to his "classic" (maybe that should scratched so we don't do anything Arnie might be offended by?) comedies like Kindergarten Cop and Jingle All the Way, these are all movies you know and love starring a big man with a kind heart and lots of weapons to blow things up.

But the banter in this movie is what made people flock to it.

The liquid metal T-1000 remains one of the most memorable villains in cinematic history. His trajectory to the biggest star in the world was paved with some of my most favorite movies of all time.

Let's dive in. One I especially love is him yelling, "Get to the chopper!"

This movie really showed what Arnold could do.

What is the best Arnold Schwarzenegger movie ever?

Arnold plays John Matrix, a retired Delta Force colonel whose daughter is kidnapped by a ruthless dictator he once overthrew.

True Lies (1994)

  • Director: James Cameron
  • Writer: James Cameron (screenplay); Claude Zidi, Simon Michaël, Didier Kaminka (original story for La Totale!)
  • Cast: Arnold Schwarzenegger (Harry Tasker), Jamie Lee Curtis (Helen Tasker), Tom Arnold (Albert Gibson), Bill Paxton (Simon), Tia Carrere (Juno Skinner)

This is James Cameron riffing on a James Bond story.

And Arnold and Jamie Lee Curtis play a totally fun couple that's searching to reconnect.

3. Total Recall (1990)

  • Director: Paul Verhoeven
  • Writer: Ronald Shusett, Dan O'Bannon, Gary Goldman (screenplay); Philip K.

    Dick (story "We Can Remember It For You Wholesale")

  • Cast: Arnold Schwarzenegger (Douglas Quaid/Hauser), Sharon Stone (Lori), Rachel Ticotin (Melina), Michael Ironside (Richter), Ronny Cox (Cohaagen)

I think it's rare today to think about our biggest stars doing a hardcore science fiction movie like this one, even if it mixes with action.

Kindergarten Cop (1990)

  • Director: Ivan Reitman
  • Writer: Murray Salem, Herschel Weingrod, Timothy Harris
  • Cast: Arnold Schwarzenegger (Detective John Kimble), Penelope Ann Miller (Joyce Palmieri / Rachel Crisp), Pamela Reed (Detective Phoebe O'Hara), Linda Hunt (Miss Schlowski), Richard Tyson (Cullen Crisp)

I love this movie.

Conan the Barbarian (1982)

  • Director: John Milius
  • Writer: John Milius, Oliver Stone
  • Cast: Arnold Schwarzenegger (Conan), James Earl Jones (Thulsa Doom), Max von Sydow (King Osric), Sandahl Bergman (Valeria), Gerry Lopez (Subotai)

Early in his career, you could see the sparks that Arnold would be a star.

Synopsis: When John Connor (Jason Clarke), leader of the human resistance against Skynet, sends Kyle Reese (Jai Courtney) back to 1984 [More]

Starring: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jason Clarke, Emilia Clarke, Jai Courtney

Directed By: Alan Taylor

Critics Consensus: Arnold Schwarzenegger tries his best, but Jingle All the Way suffers from an uneven tone, shifting wildly from a would-be satire on materialism to an antic, slapstick yuk-fest.

Conan hunts the cult leader Thulsa Doom, who murdered his parents. He must survive against a series of flamboyant "Stalkers" in a televised hunt to the death.
