Celebrate the star’s 69th birthday with our list of the ten best Arnold Schwarzenegger movies! Arnold Schwarzenegger turns 69 today! This former professional bodybuilder and Governor of California (2003-2011) has so many iconic movies, we had to choose our very favorites. Schwarzenegger began his film career in Pumping Iron in 1977 (though he’d been in two films before that), appeared as Danny DeVito’s twin brother in Twins, charmed kids in The Last Action Hero and kicked some butt in Red Sonja, which shows you the caliber of film that didn’t make the top 10.
