Only one name comes to mind when you think Hollywood’s biggest action star – Arnold Schwarzenegger. His first claim to fame was to win the Mr. Universe bodybuilding title four years in a row and seven Mr. Olympia titles. Arnie moved to America, spoke very little English; married Maria Shriver, the niece of late US President John F. Kennedy and topped it all by becoming the Governor of the State of California.

Starting Thursday, Star Movies honours this true American Idol by showcasing some of his best movies back-to-back with the Arnie Festival, every Thursday night at 7 pm. and 9 pm.
