Thomas H
ehhh, instead of worring about what other people like, you should ansewer the question and make your own f***ing list!
Stop bashing us just because we like Bruckheimer movies!!!!!

Bad Boy
Uh, well..... um, er.... Pearl Harbor did like have a 40 minute action sequence along with er, bombing raids on Tokyo. Oh, and, er... Armageddon had the destruction of New York and Paris, so I guess they qualify for action films!

Hey, Tom, I thought BHD would have topped your list!

smile

Thomas H
hehe, I really loved it...my all time fav movie!

Bad Boy
Well, I guess I can't argue with you there!

ToMacco
My favorite action movie is "My Dinner with Andre"

ToMacco

3)Rambo
4)Alien
5)Aliens
6)Independence Day
7)True Lies
8)Matrix
9)Total Recall
10) Fried Green Tomatoes

Ushgarak
Alien is more Horror than Action, in stark contrast to Aliens.

Texas
Yeah, but I still consider it an action flick cool

ToMacco
Fried Green ToMacco was a great movie. Action packed.

Thomas H
ehhh...hehe

FLIPMODE
Texas put the only Real List on this thread. The rest of you guys need to go to action school.

Ah what the heck,...let me take the time out to vent on some of your rediculous choices. laughing out loud


Bad Boy, Im not even going to go into Pearl Harbor. But your only good choice was Speed. But out of two M:I's you pick part 2? And out of three Die Hard's you Pick Part 3?? BLUH!

Thomas,...the Rock, Face off, Con Air, the word Crrrapito comes to mind. Armageddon was actullay kind of good. So not a total loss.

3 out of 4 of those movies, are just Die Hard situations, which take the entire movie to resolve, a format perfected by the Die Hard Movies. Which brings me to my list.

1-Die Hard
2-Blade 2
3-Mission Impossible (NOT PART 2)
4-The Matrix
5-Blade
6-Die Hard 2
7-The Legend of Drunken Master
8-True Lies
9-Jurassic Park**
10-Die Hard 3

*11-Independence Day
12-Darkman
13-Speed
14-T2

**-JP is an Action movie, it still has people Dying, running for their lives, good guys and Bad guys, The only thing missing was guns..well actually gun use!

ToMacco
Speed is Die Hard on a bus.

FLIPMODE
That was actually a quote from a Filmcritic's review of the film. Even on the TV Ad's.

And it's True. But at least it's the best Die Hard immitator, way better than those Bruckmonster films.

ToMacco
I thought Speed was good. Even though I hate Keau Reeves.

Julie
Why do you hate him?...BTW Matrix was really good....What ever happened to those plans to make a sequel to the Matrix??????

Thomas H
Thomas,...the Rock, Face off, Con Air, the word Crrrapito comes to mind.
Ehhhh..the greatest action flicks ever!!!The word crrrapito comes back and hits your face!


Armageddon was actullay kind of good. So not a total loss.I agree!

Rockula
1)Die Hard : One of the first great action films.
2)Leathal Weapon: Great buddy cop movie with real to life characters.
3)Matrix: The bar wasn't just raised. It was catapulted into space.
4)The Rock: breathed new life into the careers of both leads.
5)ID4: What a blockbuster is suppose to be like.
6)Top Gun: just Cool
7)Enter the Dragon: Bruce Lee was a God in the land of action.
8)Rambo First Blood: The one great film in this trilogy
9)Terminator 1: I always liked Arnold better as the villan
10)Speed: Was cool because it was good despite the built in limitaions.

I would like to add Black Hawk Down as an honorable mention.
It was outstanding but I didn't know who to bump off.

Maybe it beats out Speed

mah
1. Apocalypse Now

Oniablo
Fow all of you who like the first few Bruce Lee movies, know this: Jakie Chan was his damn stunt double! Not that I'm dissing Bruce Lee..... but heres my list!

1.Resident Evil: A great movie, not a classic but it will be
2. Die Hard: Bruce Willis fighting crime without shoes..................
3. Rush Hour 2
4.Shanghai Noon
5.The One ( Jet Li)
6. Kiss of the Dragon ( Jet Li)
7.The 5th Element
8. Star Wars: Return of the Jedi
9.Beowulf ( with Christopher Lambert)
10. The Highlander( the first one)

Thomas H

Thomas H
I would like to add Black Hawk Down as an honorable mention.
It was outstanding but I didn't know who to bump off.
Hear Hear!!

big grin

FLIPMODE
Oniablo, Im soo Glad you mentioned Shanghai Noon.

It did'nt make my best action list, because it not only is a great Action movie, but in MY view, it's toally a GREA movie PERIOD. Comedy, Action, Story...Wilson and Chan had more Chemistry than Chan and Tucker did in Rush Hour 1, and it was definitly better than Rush Hour 1. Not funnier than Rush Hour 2, but yet again I think the Story was better than RH 2.

Shanghai Noon was SOOO overlooked, that I felt sorry for it. But it's Perfect movie.

Oddly enough they are making a Sequel. Shanghai Knights.
I'll reserve my comments.

Thomas H
it was quite good!.a great action comedy...good entertainment..but nothing more!

Oniablo
I've read about the sequel......it's supposed to take place in Britain of something like that.( Hence the word Knights in the title) But i'm not quite sure on this.
