Conan the Barbarian (1982)

The Terminator (1984) is a good film, but if I had to choose just one role that best epitomises Arnie to me, I'd say Conan is the role he was born to play.
It's essentially a tale of revenge, albeit one with Wagnerian aspirations that sees a young boy grow to be a man who, mercifully, says very little. For Conan, actions are more important than words. The majority of that action is best dealt with by the business end of a sword, set to epic music.
The film is still the pinnacle of Sword and Sorcery cinema.
