"Milk is for babies... men drink beer.".

Yes.

Pumping Iron will reduce even the most socially entrenched Bible Belt homophobes to bug-eyed admirers of Arnold's everyman-shaming physique. It's the doc that brought roid-etched muscles to the forefront of the American zeitgeist. It's hilarious in turns due to Schwarzenegger's charisma and sheer ridiculousness. It makes you realize that the future Terminator is packing more than enough brains to match his outrageously overdeveloped boobs and shrunken satchel.

God, I love Arnold because of this movie, and you will too. But only in a gay way.
