With my list complete, we're just waiting on @Lord Agragax of Lunaxoatl , @Imrahil and @Just A Skink . Which of you intends on posting a list? Or shall we move on?

 

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)

 

That's fair game!

Classic!

 

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

 

Our top 4 are nearly identical.

 

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.

 

Oh wow, euhm... I will have to see how much movies I have seen with him in it...

Grrr, !mrahil

 

Topic #25 - Top Ten Movie and TV Show Locations

It's been a while has it not? This time around we're looking for your favourite places/locations from TV shows and/or movies. That place can be small or large, but try to make it as specific as possible. So as opposed to saying "the Star Wars universe", try to be more specific (where possible) such as "Tatooine", or even better, "the cantina in Mos Eisley on Tatooine". As always, leave a reference identifying the Show or Movie from where the place originates.

I'll post my list after a few of you have had your say.

 

Now this is a good one! Will have to think long and hard about this one...
