Terminator 2 remains the film that best used his specific screen presence, a killing machine turned protector. True Lies showed he could carry a full action-comedy just as easily.
01 
02 A satirical premise about game-show violence that got more relevant over time.
03 The role that first proved his physical presence could anchor a film.
04 A genuinely funny odd-couple comedy paired against Danny DeVito.
05 A comedy premise that shouldn't work, and somehow mostly does.
06 Pure muscle-versus-monster action that still holds up completely.
07 Paul Verhoeven's gleefully violent, genuinely strange sci-fi actioner.
08 James Cameron's spy-comedy hybrid, bigger and funnier than it needed to be.
09 The role that made him a genuine movie star almost overnight.
10 A sequel more ambitious and emotional than the already-great original.
