Twins
Twins
Julius and Vincent Benedict are the results of an experiment that would allow for the perfect child. Julius was planned and grows to athletic proportions. Vincent is an accident and is somewhat smaller in stature. Vincent is placed in an orphanage while Julius is taken to a south seas island and raised by philosophers. Vincent becomes the ultimate low life and is about to be killed by loan sharks.

“One brain, one brawn — zero chance of staying serious.”
I’ve seen Twins more times than I can count. Maybe a hundred. Maybe more. And you know what? It never gets old.
Arnold Schwarzenegger as the book-smart, wide-eyed gentle giant, and Danny DeVito as the streetwise, fast-talking chaos gremlin — it’s the oddest of odd couples, and it works like comedy magic. Every scene is a contrast of muscles and mischief, brains and BS, and it all unfolds with perfect '80s charm.
It’s goofy. It’s heartfelt. It’s got illegally good chemistry, and more one-liners than some modern trilogies combined. And every time that sweet, clueless Arnold smiles, you just can’t help but grin.
Some movies fade with time.
This one? Lifts your mood like a warm hug and a punchline — no matter how many times you’ve watched it.
