Get rid of all the movies released in the 2010s, how anyone could claim to be an Arnold fan and rank any of them above True Lies and Last Action Hero tells me they never watched them and relied on garbage reviews to form their "opinion".

I gotta be honest I never saw any of those ones, or the ones from the 70s. I am only agreeing with the list insofar as it ranks the ones I am familiar with.

You're in for a treat. True Lies would be at the very least in the top 10 for me personally, Jamie Lee Curtis and Tom Arnold both help keep the movie from being too serious compared to the typical 80s era stuff.

Last Action Hero is fun but wasn't well received when it came out. Pokes fun at the over the top action movies that came before it. Actually surprised to see it on this list at all. Would still recommend it though.
