10) Conan the Barbarian
Catch Arnold before he became a politician! A pure swords-and-sorcery flick, Conan the Barbarian is one of the best and sparked a wave of fantasy films in the early ’80s. When Conan’s parents are killed in a raid, he’s sent to a slave camp where his master trains him to be a warrior and use his skills in high-stakes fights. Once granted his freedom, the muscle-bound bruiser seeks to avenge his parents’ brutal murder and solve the riddle of steel.

Good God, man. There has to be some standards. You also didn’t see “Beaches” on here. That’s because Beaches and Battlefield Earth are really the same movie. It’s just that bad.
