Haven't seen
Homeboy but I've seen a hell of a lot of his films.
The Pope of Greenwich Village has to be one of the most underrated films of all-time.

I think
Burn After Reading was far and away the funniest thing I've ever seen of him. I'd have to rewatch
Twelve Monkeys to see if I'd consider it the best performance of his career, but I definitely think it's his funniest.
He was great in
True Romance, though. My favorite line of his is when James Gandolfini leaves.
"Don't fucking condescend me, man, I'll. . .fucking kill you, man."

If I haven't said it here, I've said it somewhere: It's impossible for an individual to like every one of the Coen brothers' films.
They're just too weird and have too unique a filmmaking style and too weird a sense of humor for one single individual to identify with and enjoy every one of their films.

For pure action, I'm not sure. Arnold has Terminator 2, The Last Action Hero(I love this movie), Predator, Total Recall and True Lies.
Sly has Cliffhanger, Tango&Cash, Demolition Man, Judge Dredd and Assassins. But he also has two excellent franchises in Rocky and Rambo.
So Arnold might have made individually better action movies, but I do prefer Stallone.

Oh, Stallone's definitely the better actor, no question. However, I think Arnold is the undisputed action king

That's the reason I initially watched it, but I also thought both Eddie Murphy and William Shatner were funny as hell, too.
I always crack up at the scene where Shatner's showing De Niro and Murphy how a TV cop properly identifies drugs.
"You take the tip of your finger, and touch it. . .ever so gently to the tip of your tongue. [Does so]. Hooker knows it's cocaine."
"What if it's cyanide?"
". . ."
"There's a reason real cops don't taste drugs, Bill."
