Arnold Schwarzenegger is by far one of the biggest actors in the sci-fi and action genre. But though people may see him as a human action figure, the actor is much more than just his amazing physique. The seven-time Mr. Olympia winner has a long list of action films to his name. But while the actor may have starred in our favorite films, his favorites are not any of his own works of art.

In fact, The Terminator star’s favorite film is quite detrimental to his brand as it shows just how much of a softie he is. The film even ended up breaking the record set by Star Wars and left fans of the franchise stunned.

Arnold Schwarzenegger’s favorite film

Back in 2017, Arnold Schwarzenegger sat down for an interview with Rotten Tomatoes. During the interview, the now 76-year-old ended up revealing some of his favorite films of all time. Though only 6 made the list, there was one clear favorite that stole the first spot. It was the 1982 Steven Spielberg classic film titled E.T. . When the film came out back in the day, it became a huge hit and even the Fubar star called the directorial efforts “spectacular.”

The film ended up overtaking Star Wars at the Box Office after it grossed $619 million worldwide and became the highest-grossing film of its time. It follows the story of a young boy who befriends an alien who happens to be left behind on the planet. The child, along with his friends, focus on finding a way back home for the creature and, along the way, they end up naming him E.T.

While this classic may have been the Hollywood hunk’s first pick, there were a few other films that also made their way to the list. And although the actor has a versatile taste, most of the picks were classics.

Arnold Schwarzenegger loves his classics

During the same interview with Rotten Tomatoes, the Pump Club founder also revealed that most of his favorite films could be classified as American classics. After naming E.T. as his favorite, Arnold Schwarzenegger, who recently made an appearance at Oktoberfest, named the 1970 hit The Godfather by Francis Ford Coppola as his second. The musical classic, Sound of Music, by Robert Wise came in at number three. To everyone’s surprise, the Terminator star even named James Cameron’s 1997 blockbuster, Titanic.

While the actor’s love for the classics cannot be denied, he did throw in a few modern flicks to even things out. The final film on Arnold Schwarzenegger’s must-watch list would be Clint Eastwood’s Unforgiven, which was released in 1992. Though the list may be a few years old now, it still holds some of the star’s dearest films, and now his fans can check them out too.
