Arnold Schwarzenegger has given out some classic movies in his career, which continue to trend even today. When we think of a movie starring him, the first image that would flash is of him in some action sequence and a weapon of destruction for the enemies. Regardless of the similar underlines, it’s the actors’ charm and persona that add weightage to his films.

While The Terminator is certainly one of his most famous movie franchises, it only gave birth to the rise of Schwarzenegger-led movies. After spending decades in the industry, the Austrian Oak remains the face that changed the idea of a hero. Likely why one of his hits has been trending on Netflix, right at the top.
