Yeah, he has two similar big franchises: a tight and compelling first movie followed by increasing convoluted sequels, with long fight scenes, industrial raves and nonsense dialogue about some dude called 'The Counselor' or 'The Merchant'.

Neither franchise asks him to act that much. Just growl a word or two, look confused and then fight.

I appreciate the reply. Well thought out. Of course opinions differ, one of the joys of life. I enjoy the range of Arny from serious action hero to goofy comedy movie so have to acknowledge my favourites.
Last Action Hero and Red Heat are also great movies. I think in general Arny has a very enjoyable catalogue of movies and it is hard to pick only 10.

I disagree with that, and factor in the opinions of others as well. but 100% the two movies you list had several mentions and a real fanbase. maybe we part ways on taste here... but all 3 movies in question are competently put together. Destroyer was my most controversial take, and based on upvotes and downvotes and when they happened... that call doomed this post. And I am ok with that. personally I cannot rank as you do with these 3 movies. If I replaced it, based on opinion and reactions, it might be Last action hero. even red heat.

The book was intense and amazing. Loved it. Its in my top 5. The movie was a severe disappointment. They literally took out the one scene that brought everything together and made the book so good. I also think the ending of the movie was annoying compared to the book.
