Total Recall Is Not Like Other Arnold Schwarzenegger Movies Of The Era. Why That Makes It The Best

Is Total Recall Arnold Schwarzenegger's best action movie? No, that would be Commando.

Is Total Recall Arnold's most recognizable movie? Of course not. That would be Terminator 2: Judgment Day (though I prefer the original), as T2 is arguably one of the best sci-fi movies of all time. However, for my money, Schwarzenegger's best movie of the ‘80s and ‘90s - which was when Schwarzenegger was at his peak - is indeed Total Recall, which came out in 1990.
