I chose Total Recall because, at least to me, it has Arnold in his most hilarious in a decent story with nice world building. Only Conan comes close in the world building department for me in terms of his movies. Sure, T2 had the amazing futuristic sci fi angle, but we weren't really in it, so to speak. Total Recall, as dated as it is, really has you 'in there', especially when he gets to Maaahhrs. I love Predator but I don't think I can watch it as repeatedly as TR. Commando is full of good action and hilarious one liners thanks to Steven DeSouza's script...and I was very close to picking that as my movie, but I find "Jeehh-nnyy" slows the movie down at times.
The Running Man's all good for me....until the ending AFTER he kills the game show host (which was awesome). That kiss felt forced and killed it for me.
Oh, and another reason for Total Recall? Sharon Stone:

We're just gonna ignore his best Christmas movie, Jingle All the Way?
In serious seriousness, I'd go for either T2 or Predator for me. I'm sure he's done better movies, but those have a lot of nostalgic value for me.

I have to agree that Predator really is a film filled with nostalgia from my end as well. It's like if Konami's Contra was a movie, but with one badass alien as the bad guy.

I can't watch it anymore after Jake Lloyd is crying that Arnie missed his gay karate recital because Arnie was too busy working and making big $$$ to pay for their mansion and his completely unbelievable cool kid's room.

Same here...but I just don't find myself craving it.
I used to think that I favored the SNES over the NES until one day it dawned on me that when I randomly go to play an old game, nearly every time I'll look on the NES vs the SNES.
I love Predator...but owning it, T1, T2, Total Recall, and The Running Man on DVD...Total Recall and the Running Man are the only two I "upgraded" to Blu Ray and the ones I'll watch.
I really like True Lies as well but again, I don't ever think of re-watching it.

Commando is a great, hysterical good time.
That blu ray is the best 6 bucks I ever spent on a laugh.

Little did you know that it planted the seed in your mind to go full John Matrix and live in a house in the woods by yourself while carrying logs on your shoulder.

This is tough but if I only have to pick one I’d say Terminator 2.
That said the film is more than an “Arnold” movie in my mind. It’s an action-adventure epic. It’s the best terminator terminator movie*. It’s great on so many levels.
Pick one Ahnuld movie though? Probably Predator.
Arnold really is in some great shit though. Running Man and Total Recall (amongst others) are delightfully subversive with some thought provoking elements in a way that many modern action films are lacking.
Arnold will always be the king of Action-Comedy.
*we can argue this elsewhere.

Conan the Barbarian is why he decided that, I’m sure.
Conan lives in a world where “modern” society is immoral and incompatible with man’s true, free nature. Sorcery is unnatural my young sage.
We must retreat to the wilds.

seems a bit too prescient when you put it that way. Our own reality in one that has become less private, less secure, and less free.

Literally the worst Arnold movie by a country mile, and that’s factoring in End Of Days too.
