Hands down, this is one of the best action movies of all time. This movie and T2 are Schwarzenegger at his peak, although the real stars in this movie are the people who conceived and were actually able to carry out the action scenes. I'm looking forward to the sequel, but looking at Arnold's recent efforts, I'm not expecting too much. I hope I'm pleasantly surprised.
Life Lessons - I've probably seen it 10 times. You can refer to it as a 'short', but I get so wrapped up in it that I almost consider it to be a full-length movie. It's very close to perfect.
Life Without Zoe - Past comments have stated that this is the weakest of the three. I don't like to think of any of the stories as weak. I think the order of the stories is what is important. First is the tense art world drama, then the fairytale-like Zoe. Zoe doesn't have the punch of Life Lessons, but it's a relaxing follow-up. Enchanted flutes, princesses, sheiks, diamonds, parties, sunsets. I hate to use the word 'cute', but that's what it is - very cute, and that's not a bad thing in this case.
Oedipus Wrecks - Leaves the movie ending on a very outrageous and very funny note. This short is better than several of his movies (and I'm a HUGE Woody Allen fan).

I was told to see this movie just because of one of the sex scenes. Wow. It turned out to be a really great movie on top of that. I love it when Kathleen Turner is over the top, and this is definitely over the top. It got me to go out and rent other Ken Russell films, but none of them compared (although I never saw The Devils, which I now want to rent).
Make sure you get the unrated version (red box) as opposed to the rated (blue box) version, or you will miss some crucial jaw-droppers.
