Total Recall: My Unbelievably True Life Story
You see, I'm an 80s kid so I grew up in the years when his most iconic movies came out. Moreover, he's a German-speaker and there aren't a whole lot of that who make it onto the big screen (in America, no less) so that gave him extra bonus points.
I'm delighted to say that he's even more cool than I thought. Of course, this is an auto-biography so it's also self-marketing. However, the fantastic thing is that Arnie ALWAYS admits to mistakes. He doesn't cover them up or tries to excuse them away.

1. From Austrian Village to American Dream: The Power of Vision
