12 Moments From 'The Running Man' That Prove It's The Weirdest Stephen King Movie Ever Made
Loosely-based (and I do mean LOOSELY) on the Stephen King story of the same name, The Running Man has Arnold Schwarzenegger starring as Ben Richards, a former helicopter pilot framed for a massacre who is forced to compete in a deadly game show for his freedom.
It's an amazing slice of 80s action cheese, and if you haven't seen it, you owe it to yourself. In particular, these 12 moments prove that it's one of The Governator's absolute best.
First, let's talk about how Family Feud's Richard Dawson played the villain.
And don't forget the cast of colorful "Running Man" contestants, like Buzzsaw...
Or Fireball...
Here's Subzero... now plain zero...
And who could forget Dynamo?
But I know what you're really here for: the Arnie quotes...
The interplay between 'Ahhnold' and Dawson is great.

In Defense Of The Disney Princesses That People Just Can't Stop Criticizing
Alright, I know that people tend to have varying opinions about the Disney princesses, and believe me, I get it. My opinions change on them every time I watch the movies again, or when I hear another well made argument.People have said that the older Disney princesses aren't always the best role models. Whether it's because they give up something, fail to save themselves, or something else, they are critiqued as being a bad influence for young girls. But I am here today to provide some over-analytical reasons why they aren't as bad as you may think. Are they
Disney Has Released New 90s Themed Merchandise, And Now We've Got To Go Shopping
I think we can all all agree that Disney movies are basically perfect right? Sure, there are some aspects of them that are a little outdated when it comes to the princesses, but our nostalgia filters have kind of blurred all of those lines anyways, so we can just appreciate them for being great. The songs, the stories, and all the characters were the stars of our childhoods, and we were all lucky enough to grow up during the famous Disney renaissance that brought us a whole new era of classics. Another bonus of living through the 90s meant that
Jamie Lee Curtis Reveals What Convinced Her To Come Back To 'Halloween' Again
The original Halloween movie is one of the most iconic scary movies to have ever been made. Jamie Lee Curtis' performance as Laurie Strode, aka the only babysitter you should trust your children with, made the slasher movie stand the test of time.

Another Iconic Video Game Is Getting A "Mega" Live-Action Movie
When you were growing up, the library of video games was nowhere near as extensive as it is now. There were obviously a lot of good choices, but compared to the variety now, it was such a small percentage. Clearly it was because video games were still new when we were all young, but what we lacked in quantity, we made up for in devotion.
