Arnold Schwarzenegger flexes. Arnold gets funny. Arnold terminates, runs, destroys and more Saturday in Encore's all day Ah-nuld festival.

Starting at 8:30 a.m. ET, Encore unreels nine different Schwarzenegger titles, ranging from 1984's action epics Conan the Destroyer and The Terminator to 1997's Batman & Robin, with funny business like Twins in between.

Encore even promises the California guv will "talk about his films" Saturday night.

Conan the Destroyer (8:30 a.m. ET) - costarring Grace Jones, Wilt Chamberlain

Diane Werts

Diane Werts has been glued to the tube since she can remember, growing up in a household where the TV came on first thing in the morning and stayed on till bedtime and beyond. She worked for the USA Film Festival, then for The Dallas Morning News writing about everything from Shakespeare to macrame art to rock music (and has the hearing loss to prove it). She moved to New York's Newsday to edit their glossy TV magazine, then returned to writing about television, specializing in its stranger permutations. She's a past president of the Television Critics Association.
