Remember how just a few years ago Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger would barely acknowledge that he’d seen an R-rated movie, let alone starred in dozens? A beacon of responsible citizenship and good, sound, electable morals, Ahnuld did his very best to distance himself from whatever mercenary/robot/solider/barbarian/super-villain he might have portrayed in the past.

Until, of course, his term ended and he immediately signed on to about 35 high-body-count action flicks.

Having appeared briefly in last year’s sequel to The Expendables, Schwarzenegger’s first major starring role hits screens this month with The Last Stand. And to prepare for the return of everybody’s favorite aging death machine, we’ve put together a list of Arnold’s must-see films.
