All so good. Watched T1-3 with the boys over the last 3 days. Really no need for T3, but the other 2 are great.
I'd have Total Recall as my fav of the "serious" ones, and don't sleep on True Lies in the comedy category.
Red Heat is fucking good too.
And i have a serious soft spot for Conan the Barbarian

Red Heat was good. Raw deal is about the only one IIRC that wasn't at the level of the rest

Conan the Barbarian is great. One of my first experiences with a violent movie ( well it was back in the day)
Shame it went extra Campy for Conan the Destroyer. -

Fun fact ( well humiliating more like it) Virgil wasn’t always my preferred nickname/handle etc.. it was originally Conan. In fact my trade me name is Conan 27.
If you have seen me in person you will understand the resemblance is uncanny.
Or should that be ironic.

I can see why you chose the handle that you did. You look just like the Million Dollar mans bodyguard.

Must have been my subconscious, I thought I was going for 80’s Arnie when in fact it was the guy who wrote the early seasons of The Simpson’s

I think Raw Deal was better than people remember, it was just relatively grounded for an Arnie film.
They were two of the first films I dubbed when I got my own VCR and then realised I could copy films with two them.

After some outrageous slander on the Fern recently, I felt obliged to re-see Escape From New York last night, and Escape From L.A. tonight.
That would be libel. Truth is a defense in libel (or slander) legally (sometimes, defamation is complicated), and I wrote the comment. So yes, I stand by my judgement that it is shit.

I think Arnies last truly great film off the top of my head is T2. Of course I’m doing this off the top of my head so I’m happy to be corrected on this.
Note I said ‘truly great’. Don’t bother coming at me with True Lies, Last Action Hero, Eraser, End of Days etc which while good are not classics by his standards.

True Lies is so far in front of any Bond film it's not even funny.

Yeah I liked it.
I used to call my second officers " Conan the Librarian". They did bugger all else.
"Look that up, Conan" was my catch phrase.
Aircraft manuals are huge, and I was basically admitting that I didn't have a clue what was happening with the machine or the laws that I was supposed to be following at the time.
You will all feel so much safer taking to the skies after my posts. You will also be waiting a while to do that.

Thats just it. When my tween age self watched Arnie I don't want grounded. I want full on comic level kick ass

Fuck. Out-pedanted. Touché.
As a reward, I recommend you go watch the movie Bait (the one released in 2000). Enjoy. -

See, now I have had to google that. I don't think that I have read a worse plot. Starting with the stolen prawns leading to his imprisonment and the "bug" in his jaw.
Anyone seen the 2019 - "bait"?
100% on rotten tomatoes (whose ratings I regard as highly as you lot post here, no that isn't a good thing). Won a bunch of those obscure awards.
