What is Arnie's best film? And what is your favorite Arnie quote?
Arnold Schwarzenegger is by far my favorite actor. My childhood was influenced heavily by Arnie, as I spent most of it watching his fantastic films. Now I have a (relatively) well paid job, I can spend lots of money collecting every one of his feature films on DVD. I am a major fan, and if I met him I may feint. I have only begun my collection, so it is quite modest, but it will grow. Potential troublesome titles are 'Stay Hungry', and 'Hercules in New York'. Most of his other titles are quite widely available.
My favorite Arnie film has to be 'The Terminator'. The role he was put on earth for, and a work of genius. A fantastic performance by Schwarzenegger adds to an inspired script, and excellent music courtesy of Brad Fiedel. Honed and refined the idea of 'Tech Noir' cinema, and launched Arnolds career. An influential piece as well, many films have felt the touch of the Terminator franchise.
Best Arnie quote? Total Recall.
Lori: Doug. You wouldn't shoot me, would you sweetheart? Sweetheart, after all, we're married!
[Lori goes for her gun, Quaid shoots her]
Douglas Quaid: Consider that a divorce.
Genius. I would be a divorce court judge just so i could use this line once.
