Stuck at home watching movies, caught myself changing channels between Rambo (1st reboot) and Total Recall.
Poses the question: stuck at home with only one complete movie catalog to choose from, who do you watch?

Just off the top of my head,

Rambo series
Rocky series (including Creeds)
Daylight
Stop or my mom will shoot
Assassin
Tango and cash
Demolition man
Cliffhanger
Cobra
Judge dredd
Escape plan
Rhinestone

Terminator series
Predator
True lies
Total recall
Eraser
Last stand
Last action hero
Commando
Jingle all the way
Kindergarten cop
6th day
Conan
Running man
Twins
Red sonja

There are more films from both actors that I didnt mention.
I would consider the Expendables franchise to be a Stallone film even though Arnie is in them

I’m going to say Stallone. I just watched the first and last Rambo movies quite good. Also Stallone in Lords of Flatbush.

The Rock has them both beat tho.

They are both great, and overall I think Stallone has the edge. But neither of them can compare to Clint Eastwood.

Gonna have to go with Stallone. I think Arnold has more overall 'hits' but the highs of Stallone's catalog far outweigh Arnold's.

Both have good series and some “WTH was that” movies.

If it was literally desert island choice (one actor’s movies or the other only), I have to go with Arnold so I can have access to Predator, Terminator and Conan.

Stallone. Recently watched last blood and it was quite good. 2nd best in the Rambo series for me after 1st blood

I like them both, and I really like how they take jabs at each other in their movies. I don’t remember which Arnold movie it was (Twins?) where he walked by a Rocky poster and chuckled. In Demolition Man, Stallone cracks up and makes some comment when Bullock tells him about the Schwarzenegger presidential library.

Overall, Arnold’s catalog is overall more entertaining to me, but Stallone is more epic and memorable with Rocky and Rambo series.

It’s close but I’m going to have to go with Arnold. I just think his blockbusters have had a greater following/impact compared to Stallone’s. However, none of them can top the original Rocky. It’s a really close call between the two of them. Nice poll!

gotta go with sly. he's made a comeback in recent years (apollo, rambo, the prison escaple movie with arnold) where arnold has had one bomb after another (other than the movie with sly). i like arnold and all, but like terminator movies..its over.

Arnold!

There are some rocky freaks who will sway the polls but be realistic, there’s only one great rocky movie and a couple
More entertaining ones.

Arnold just has more charm. And terminator / t2 / total recall seals it.

Total recall seals the deal. It’s better than demolition man (which is a pretty fun movie but doesn’t reach that first tier).

Gotta go with Arnold. The thick accent, the bad acting, the over the top action, the one liners - the guy has it all. Heck, he was even the governator. I would take a T2 over DM any day of the week and would be all for another Arnold pin of any sort. A Total Recall pin with new callouts from Arnold would be pretty sweet.

This is like Medieval Madness Vs. Attack from Mars. At first glance both are very similar but if you really spent time to look there are significant differences. They are iconic for their generation. They have highly devoted fans, that likely appreciate both but have a strong opinion favoring one over the other.

I choose MM and Arnold!

This is why I voted Sly, writing "Rocky" put him over the top for me (no pun intended)

And this is why I may be wrong to vote Stallone. Arnold's movies are just more fun.
Arnold's movies seem to be full of better special effects than Stallone's
Im a bit shocked that the poll is not closer but it looks like Arnie is running away with it.

Arnold by a hair. I like Stallone but Arnold's films I find myself watching more than Sly's. Do I ever need to see Stop or My Mom Will Shoot, or Cliffhanger again?

No, but I sure as hell will watch The Running Man and End of Days because Arnold is entertaining has well. Plus Conan, Terminator, Total Recall, and especially Predator are all perfect films. Having said that, First Blood, Rocky III and Rambo IV are damn near perfect.

And a big nod to The Last Action Hero & Demolition Man, the most underrated of all their films.

Both are amazing and made so many iconic films of my youth. I even enjoy laughing at their stinkers. But I'm going to give the win to Stallone. I think he has had the overall better career. Plus, Stallone wrote and directed several of his films, which is pretty amazing. And I have a soft spot for some of Stallone's lesser films like Oscar and Tango and Cash.
