  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,468 ✭✭✭Lex_Diamonds


    The Rock is a classic action movie imo.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6 Podge


    Face/Off was a good action movie too............
    Con Air!
    No, not just a nick cage fan!

    Any Jackie Cahn movie, not the big explosion movies everyone classes action as, but classic non stop action/fighting.


    Long live the Action Heros


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,149 ✭✭✭✭Lemming


    probably not the best .. but soooooo many guns .... replete with guys doing the "I'm being riddled with bullets" belly dance routine :D

    "Commando"

    Ho hum, not really a huge fan of action films, all my favourites are pretty recent because I get bored of this type of film if I watch it more than once. The Matrix is possibly my favourite, but I liked MI-2 as well, and Gladiator, and also Face/Off. As an action movie, I thought MI-2 was very entertaining, but very shallow. The music in both the Matrix and MI-2 enhanced the whole experience, lots of nice pumping stuff for the action sequences.

    Yeah, yeah spice world was an action classic....... "SLAP"......"SLAP" - sorry warnderd off there love Die Hard , deffinately up there .


  • Subscribers Posts: 1,911 ✭✭✭Draco


    Die Hard 2 was the best of the series.

    starship Troopers is a great one for drunken viewing as is 13th warrior.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,592 ✭✭✭✭Dont be at yourself


    The Matrix or T2.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 88,972 ✭✭✭✭mike65


    Aliens
    Mad Max 2
    The Terminator

    Mike.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 41 danbert


    Without a doubt its got to be
    Comando

    Or pretty much anuthin with Arnie in.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 29,130 ✭✭✭✭Karl Hungus


    Total Recall.
    Terminator 1 or 2.

    Arnie at his best!

    The Matrix also, is quite great.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 15,116 ✭✭✭✭RasTa


    predator would be my choice,still love tha film


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 28,128 ✭✭✭✭Mossy Monk


    Terminator 1 and 2 were brilliant
    so too was the Matrix
    i really like the Lethal Weapon series :)
    i saw Metro the other night on Network 2 and thought that enjoyable viewing


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,316 ✭✭✭ButcherOfNog


    in no particular order

    total recall
    die hard
    terminator 2
    aliens

    any of these come on the tv, i'll watch them no matter how many times i've seen them.

    Terminator 1+2 (cant decide between them) and The Matrix.

    Die Hards damn good I suppose, but I think its over-rated as The Best Action Movie Ever™

    Glad I caught the Matrix before the hype hit the streets... 'twas uberl33t, sor.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,489 ✭✭✭Clintons Cat


    Police story 2

    pulp fiction

    terminator1


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 544 ✭✭✭pauldeehan


    Die Hard
    Face Off
    The Rock
    Con Air
    Broken Arrow


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 819 ✭✭✭sixpack's little hat


    has to be The Matrix although Die hards 1 and 3 are very good they're not that good


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,503 ✭✭✭Makaveli


    I really like Blade.
    Die Hard is really cool too, as is the Matrix.
    Predator was also good I think.
    Is Pulp Fiction an action film? I didnt think it was, but I dunno what genre you would put it in.
    I also think Terminator was better than T2, but both were really good.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 234 ✭✭Mistakill


    Alien 2. That is has the best action and sci-fi mix


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,025 ✭✭✭yellum


    Die Hard or Terminator 2 or Predator

    I'd possibly go with Die Hard cos of the shoeless Bruce Willis getting the **** bate out of him.

    Once Upon a time in China is good but not brilliant, how about Crouching Tiger ?

    If you want John Woo films then look at Hard Boiled and The Killer.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 148 ✭✭walt


    Die Hard rox, seen it so many times but it's still watchable when it's on telly. Predator is another classic, lurve it. But I think Under Siege and Marked For Death are lethal.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,219 ✭✭✭plastic membrane


    Rewatched Speed last night. That movie kicks booty.

    [*1*] Die Hard (like a finely crafted piece of craftmanship. "you ask for miracles, i give you the F...B...I...)

    [2] Aliens 1 & 2 (2 just better than 1 imo, love those drop ships and pulse rifles)
    [3] T1 & T2 (both great cant decide)
    [4] Predator (more classic arnie)
    [5] Rambo: First Blood (sequals ruined its rep, a classic)
    [6] Robocop (did nobody mention this!)
    [7] Die Hard 3 (willis and jackson work very well)
    [8] True Lies (anyone else think this was very nice?)
    [9] Total Recall (the plank again)
    [10] Blade Runner (was this action? or Sci-Fi?)

    Almosts:
    Point Break (love when they stick this on)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 784 ✭✭✭Belisarius


    Um , Only one comes to mind for the best action film ever made


    Hard Boiled.


    That is all.
