[8] Arnold Schwarzenegger leads an elite commando team into a Central American jungle to help a CIA operative (Rocky‘s Carl Weathers) fulfill a clandestine mission. The mission becomes a distant afterthought, however, when a mysterious alien with advanced weaponry and the ability to camouflage itself begins slaughtering Arnold’s team one-by-one. Even though it’s essentially ‘Alien in the Jungle’, Predator is one of the most enduring …
[6] Arnold Schwarzenegger returns in his only Conan sequel, a less serious and more family-friendly adventure to help a princess (Olivia d’Abo) find a legendary horn for her aunt, Queen Taramis (Superman II‘s Sarah Douglas), who promises Conan she’ll bring his lover from the previous film back to life once he completes this quest. Mako returns as Conan’s wizard companion, along with a motley collection …
[7] Director John Milius (Big Wednesday, Red Dawn) brings Robert E. Howard’s Conan the Barbarian to the big screen with Austrian bodybuilder Arnold Schwarzenegger in the title role.

[7] Arnold Schwarzenegger stars in this high-concept futuristic actioner about a blue-collar man who pays to have memories of a Mars vacation implanted in his memory — the next-best thing, and a cheaper alternative, to actually going there.

It mostly satisfies as a popcorn flick, but could …
[8] Director James Cameron (Terminator, The Abyss) re-teams with Arnold Schwarzenegger to bring this action comedy to the big screen. Arnold plays a married man who keeps his occupation a secret from his wife, played by Jamie Lee Curtis. What Curtis doesn’t know is that he’s not really a computer sales person. He’s actually a spy for a secret government agency. When Arnold learns Curtis …
[9] This is one of those rare sequels that is arguably better than its predecessor. It may not be as raw and moody as The Terminator, but Terminator 2 is a kick-ass action movie — one of the best ever made, frankly. I love how the trio of primary characters become a surrogate family. It’s also interesting to see the Terminator become a protector while …
[9] A cyborg from the future attempts to assasinate the unwitting mother of a future man who will lead humanity in a war against ‘the machines.’ The Terminator remains one of the best sci-fi films of the ’80s.
