Where is Red Sonja?  :P
20 movies is enough

Several of the movies on the list already are Jaron options. Dunno if that applies to Red Sonja as well or not.

The true Jaron option would be Hercules in New York.  :contract:

This thread has made me want to watch Running man again.  It was not the one I voted for, but I still really like it.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

if terminator 2 was a schwarzenegger flick, i'd pick that as it is easily the best on the list. however, it isn't. it's a movie starring schwarzenegger, and there is a difference. chose total recall because it's just so.. awesome

It was nicer when the future still looked like the 1980's.

And Sharon Stone was really, really hot.

The new poll graphics are definitely a huge improvement.

I'm watching Running man now.  I like the old fashion special stunts and stuff.  And that nobody notices Ahnold has an Austrian accent.  Normally in a film an accent like that would warrant a comment.  Or be part of a character.  In the Schwarzenegger films, it's usually just there.

It was a tough choice between Terminator, Predator, Conan the Barbarian and The Running Man...but in the end my lingering soft-spot for The Running Man gave it the nod over the others.

Hmm, looking at this poll, I realize I've never seen the original Terminator.   :hmm:  Might have to watch it tonight.

T2 is my favorite by a fair margin.  Arnie isn't as "Arnie" as he is in Predator or Conan, but the movie is a lot better.

I'm somewhat surprised by the love for Total Recall.  I thought that movie started well, but ended up plumbing the depths of silliness.  I haven't seen it since it came out, due to utter lack of interest.  I'll watch just about any of the others given half a chance.
The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.   -G'Kar
