Favorite and Least favorite Arnold Schwarzenegger movies.

I liked all of them. My least favorites are The Running Man, Total Recall and Batman and Robin. They were okay but not as good as some of his others. I actually like the movies with him that other people hate. And I know you are going to say, “What? Batman and Robin? That movie was awful.” I thought it was hillarious. I have never laughed more watching that than any other movie. My very favorite is Terminator 2.

Aw, come on… you didn't warm up to True Lies and Last Action Hero? His appeal is in the fact that compared to some of his contemporaries, he isn't a “great” actor.

The “baby Ahnuld” scene from “Junior” justifies my decision.

**Actually the only worthwhile thing Arnold has given me is the band Austrian Death Machine.

I dunno, Arnold Schwarzenegger as Mr. Freeze was actually a good casting move. Too bad about the writing, though.

Arnold was a horrible casting choice. Mr. Freeze is a nerdy scientist. And Arnold is far from nerdy.

Depends on which Mr. Freeze actually. The 60s Mr. Freeze was kind of like how Arnold was in the movie, a more typical type of villain with no real motive (although he did have one motive in this.)

I like Arnold but I didn't think he was a good choice for Mr. Freeze.

Sorry. Most of my knowledge of batman comes from the 90s animated series and the batman movies. I've never really gotten into Batman comics. The version of Mr. Freeze in the 90s series doesn't look anything like Arnold Schwarzenegger.
