    Sorry, I haven't been on the site as much and totally missed this. One liners, eh? This is pretty much off the top of my head.

    "I'll be back." (The Terminator)
    "You're gonna need a bigger boat." Jaws
    "Okay... so... she's a dog." or "He slimed me." or "Ray, when someone asks you if your god, you say YES!" or "Yes, it's true... this man has no dick" (scuffle ensues) "Well, that's what I heard!" (Ghostbusters - honestly, every other line in that movie is a great one-liner/zinger)
    "Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die." (The Princess Bride - might be pushing the "one-liner" a bit)
    "There can be on one!" (The Highlander)
    "One shall stand, one shall fall." (The Transformers Movie - 80s)
    "I must break you." Rocky IV
    "Help me, Obi-wan Kenobi. You're my only hope." or "These aren't the droids you're looking for" or "That's no moon." or "Never tell me the odds." or "No... I am your father." But the main SW quote that fits is "IT'S A TRAP!" Star Wars, SW: ESB, SW: RotJ
    "I have the POWER!" (He-Man and the Masters of the Universe)
    "Now I know." "And knowing is half the battle. Yo, Joe!" (G.I. Joe)

    As an Honorable Mention, and because I know you enjoy Samurai Jack, there's a great one that my friends and I still use to this day (especially if we're gaming and one of the bad guys tries to run). It's from the first episode, after Jack has chopped up most of the Beetle Drones.

    "No, there is no escape." (Samurai Jack)

    Top Arnold Schwarzenegger Movies

    1. Terminator 2
    - One of the best action movies, period. I think it's probably Arnie's best.
    2. Predator - You almost wonder if Arnie is going to survive at times in this movie. Seriously, I love the pacing of the movie and how the story plays out. Hollywood might have ruined it, but I would have loved to see Dutch in a Predator sequel of some kind. Just to find out what happened to that character.
    3. Terminator - Although T2 is the more well-rounded movie, I actually like Arnie's performance in the original Terminator better. Obviously, he doesn't have many lines, but his intimidating presence is just great.
    4. Conan the Barbarian - I know the movie's tone is different than the pulp vibe of the actual Conan stories, but I freaking love this move. After LotR, it might be my favorite fantasy movie.
    (Those top 4 are almost interchangeable to me)
    5. True Lies
    6. Total Recall
    7. Twins
    8. Kindergarten Cop
    9. Running Man
    10. Commando or Last Action Hero


    Honorable: Conan the Destroyer, Jingle All the Way, Red Heat, Pumping Iron

    I'll be interested (and a little surprised) if those movies are not at the top of most lists. I think they are Arnold's landmark movies.

    I'm guessing that you are referring to Terminator, T2 and Predator. That is probably fair, but I personally really like Conan the Barbarian too.

    nah, to me the podium it T2, Predator and Conan the Barbarian (maybe not in that exact order).
    the original Terminator could be in 5th position or even lower, but i must ponder on it.
    True Lies is probably my 4th

    better late than never!

    1. Terminator 2
    2. Predator
    3. Conan the barbarian
    4. True Lies
    5. Total Recall
    6. Commando
    7. Red Heat
    8. Kindergarten cop
    9. Last Action Hero
    10. Conan the destroyer


    Honorable mention: Terminator.
    Yes, it's a classic and yes, it's a great film and yes, it's probably Arnold's most iconic character... BUT IMHO it's not a true Arnold's movie.
    The true protagonists are Sarah Connor and John Reese, the terminator it's merely the menace (and a great one at that); leaving aside a couple of scenes there's basically no meaningful interaction between arnie and the outer world. It's a killer robot that acts as a killer robot, so i went for a list that favors a different kind of performance.

    To be clearer:
    I'm going to rewatch Terminator because it's a great film, not because of Arnie
    I'm going to rewatch Red Heat because of Arnie, not because it's a great film.
    I'm going to rewatch T2 because it a great film AND because of Arnie.
