5) Twins
When he discovers that he has a twin he never knew existed, the studious Julius Benedict (Arnold Schwarzenegger) sets out to find his long-lost sibling and is shocked to discover that his brother is a diminutive petty crook (Danny DeVito).
Kelly Preston, Tom McCleister and David Caruso also star in this hilarious 1988 laffer from veteran comedy director Ivan Reitman (Ghostbusters, Kindergarten Cop).
4) The Running Man
In a postapocalyptic world, the government frames Ben Richards (Arnold Schwarzenegger) for a bloody massacre. He’s given the option of staying in jail for life or participating in a “gladiator”-type game show that usually leads to death.
He opts for the show, teaming with other contestants to survive the game and overthrow the corrupt system. This sci-fi thriller costars Richard Dawson in a twisted send-up of his game-show-host persona.
3) Commando
Col. John Matrix (Arnold Schwarzenegger), the former leader of a special ops team, is vaulted back into action to save his young daughter (Alyssa Milano) who has been kidnapped.
Her life is threatened lest John assassinate a South American president. Rather than being strong-armed into such a proposition, John takes matters (and lots of guns) into his owns hands as he fights through the jungle against his enemies to save his daughter.
2) The Terminator
In the post-apocalyptic future, reigning tyrannical supercomputers teleport a cyborg assassin known as the “Terminator” (Arnold Schwarzenegger) back to 1984 to snuff Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton), whose unborn son is destined to lead insurgents against 21st century mechanical hegemony.
Meanwhile, the human-resistance movement dispatches a lone warrior (Michael Biehn) to safeguard Sarah. Can he stop the virtually indestructible killing machine?
1) Predator
Two real-life governors — Arnold Schwarzenegger (Dutch) and Jesse Ventura (Sgt. Blain) — use their muscled intellects to pursue a force more sinister than state budget crises. It’s an otherworldly creature deep in the jungle adept at slaughtering our best-trained fighters, and worse yet, it’s practically invisible.
Special effects, dizzying camera work and a sci-fi bent elevate this gory horror-actioner, making the 1990 sequel a given.
