How has no one mentioned Cliff Hanger. Or Road House? Lot of time for Predator but I’ll go for the aforementioned Point Break. |

Registered 9 years agoYeah I guess they're not, on reflection. Think I'm just picturing the memorable (violent) bits.
(Hateful 8 is a great film!)
Not a massive action film fan tbh. To me they mostly feel like stereotypical bland Hollywood filler (no offence if anyone disagrees, be assured I have terrible taste.....).
Arnie made them good though, by just being a colossus and delivering such a good cheesy one liner. -

Registered 10 years agoIt's not the best by a long shot by I have a massive soft spot for Van Damn's AWOL (or Lionheart).
"The whole bet's on Attila!"
"Wrong bet..."
"LIOOOOOONHEAAAAAAAART!" -
All this time and noone has mentioned Drunken Master 2! -

Registered 18 years agoI have a soft spot for Striking Distance. A cheesy 90s Bruce Willis film, made on the back of Die Hard presumably. Its pretty terrible but I love it. -
Road House is great. Watched it a few months back as Mrs Hermit had never seen it, and it keeps getting referenced in stuff. It's still awesome. -

I'd say it's mood dependent and there are far too many to choose from, although surely any list has surely got to include Die Hard, Robocop, Raiders of the Lost Ark and Terminator 2. -

Registered 12 years agoPredator, Jurassic Park, or The Matrix.
Predator is a simple, neat concept with perfect execution.
Jurassic Park is a fantastic concept with pioneering special effects that still hold up well today.
The Matrix, again, had pioneering special effects but I personally liked the fight sequences that aren't over-edited and don't cut away... you get to see the fight sequences in an unflinching way, something a lot of action films don't seem to do. -

Registered 15 years agoWhat kind of action? Doesn't really exist as a category on its own. You've got sci-fi action (Clearly Aliens, you muppets), crime action (CLEARLY Die Hard), comedy (no idea. The Mask? Idk). Etc.
Also, Tarantino lacks a fucking watch to do action movies, seeing as it takes 3 hours of exploratory exposition and pop culture references to get to anything resembling. -

Registered 17 years agoStruggling to think of anything recent that comes close to the classics of the 80s. Die Hard, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Aliens - all perfect entertainment IMO.
Has anything as good been released within the past 10 years? -
