If you want to trickle in some 60s movies, I recommend the James Bond series. Starts with Dr. No (1962) and the studio released one every couple of years for awhile. They're mostly based on Ian Fleming's books. Very fun too

Total Recall is a fantastic Arnold movie!

Wow, Arnold's first real movie, he was only in a weightlifting documentary before this. At the time, he was the perfect image of Conan, even though his acting skills were not quite there yet. Not a great movie, but it is a fun one. You should try True Lies, Arnold and James Cameron make a comedy, a pretty funny one at that. Fun fact: The sword Arnold uses in this movie was also used in Stranger Things, it was the one Hopper used to decapitate the demigorgon in Russia.

I used to think this was just an old movie, then I played the video game Conan: Exiles and learned there's a massively rich lore and backstory to everything in this. I fell in love with that lore and now encourage everyone to learn more about the world of Conan.

Some background on Conan the character, nearly 100 years old now: Conan the Barbarian (also known as Conan the Cimmerian) is a fictional sword and sorcery hero created by American author Robert E. Howard (1906–1936) and who debuted in 1932 and went on to appear in a series of fantasy stories published in Weird Tales magazine. After first appearing in pulp magazines, the character has since been adapted to books, comics, films (including Conan the Barbarian and Conan the Destroyer), television programs (animated and live action), video games, and role-playing games. The earliest appearance of a Robert E. Howard character named Conan was that of a black-haired barbarian with heroic attributes in the 1931 short story "People of the Dark". Before Howard's death he wrote 21 stories starring the barbarian. Over the years, many other writers have written works featuring Conan. Many Conan the Barbarian stories feature Conan embarking on heroic adventures filled with common fantasy elements such as princesses and wizards. Howard's mythopoeia has the stories set in the legendary Hyborian Age in the times after the fall of Atlantis. Conan is a Cimmerian, who are descendants of the Atlanteans and ancestors of the modern Gaels. Conan is himself a descendant of Kull of Atlantis (an earlier adventurer of Howard's). He was born on a battlefield and is the son of a blacksmith. Conan is characterized as chivalric due to his penchant to save damsels in distress. He possesses great strength, combativeness, intelligence, agility, and endurance. The barbarian's appearance is iconic, with square-cut black hair, blue eyes, tanned skin, and giant stature, often wearing a barbarian's garb.

I'm not sure if there was a Conan Video game.....but Sega released the 'Golden Axe' series in the the late 80s, which was really similar to Conan....and even the music was very similar......as for other Arnold movies, check out 'The Running Man' and Commando' ( lots of action in those.).......also I think Brooke would enjoy Arnold's movie, 'Kindergarten Cop."
