Pumping Iron
1977 documentary
Rating: 15/20
Plot: Body builders prepare for the Mr. Big Man competition.
"I'm cumming day and night. It's terrific. I'm in heaven."
I wish somebody would look at me the way Arnold Schwarzenegger looks at himself in a gym mirror.
Schwarzenegger's charisma and likability despite the narcissism and the creepiness of his persona carries this for a while, and the dedication to this bizarre blend of competitive sculpting and sports keeps things interesting. The Michael Small Nilsson-esque song over the credits with images of old-school flexing was a highlight.
I did not become aroused during a shower scene, and I blame the photographer for that one because I should have.
