Conan The Barbarian
 Arnold
Schwarzenegger may have ventured out in clothes since this movie,
but here's how fans first remember him: bare and belted, a Nordic
superman justified in his use of force to avenge his parents'
deaths.
Director John Milius quotes Nietzsche and ladles on the fantasy
atmosphere with a Wagnerian flourish that's too heavyweight and
humourless for its own, and Big Arnie's, good. But the movie looks
fabulous . . . rather like Arnie himself
Followed by a 1984 sequel, Conan The Destroyer.
