Sticksboi05 Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Nailed it. I know everyone loves T2 but I thought the kid was annoying and enjoyed the first one more. ---------- Post added November-24th-2012 at 04:32 PM ---------- Missed this post. My thoughts exactly. Well said. Sarah Connor's speech in the house of the guy who made the computer chip does kind of make you cringe. Link to post Share on other sites

GoSkinsGo Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 I'd also throw death sentence out there with Kevin Bacon. If you haven't seen it do yourself a favor hug your wife and children and open up a bottle of wild turkey and enjoy. Link to post Share on other sites

Pick6 Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 You're all crazy. The best action movie just came out last year. This is non-stop action and some of the fights are the best ever. Link to post Share on other sites
Stadium-Armory Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Star Wars IV ? Link to post Share on other sites
elkabong82 Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Star Wars IV ? that's sci-fi I said earlier action movie needs to be defined, because IMO a big chunk of the suggestions don't qualify Link to post Share on other sites
Stadium-Armory Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Not the best of all time, but "Battle: Los Angeles" is damn action packed. Link to post Share on other sites
G.A.C.O.L.B. Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Hard to say "best action movie" because of all of the subgenres, but...1. Aliens 2. Terminator 2 3. Die Hard 4. Predator 5. Ronin Most underrated (and best action horror) is Blade. Best action-comedy for me is Beverly Hills Cop. Best spy film is Goldeneye or Skyfall. Best martial arts is Jackie Chan's Drunken Master. Best disaster action flick is Independence Day. Best superhero action film is very difficult but probably Iron-Man or Tim Burton's Batman. Really like this list. Gotta say though, never seen Ronin. Should that be the next movie I watch no matter what? Is it that good? Link to post Share on other sites
GSF Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Predator was so ****ing cool when it first came out. T2 and Die Hard were also classics, but Predator was my favorite. I'll also give Predator vs. Alien an honorable mention. Link to post Share on other sites
Larry Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Really like this list.Gotta say though, never seen Ronin. Should that be the next movie I watch no matter what? Is it that good? I really liked Ronin. But it's not because of the action. (Don't think that there was that much.) But the acting. The story. That was first rate. I'd say it's like "Heat". There's like 2 action scenes. (Although, granted, one of them lasts like 10 minutes.) And they aren't the best parts of the film. But it's one heck of a movie. I'd put it on a list of "Best movie". But not "best action movie". Because the latter, to me, implies "best movie because of the action". And what makes "Heat" and "Ronin" great, isn't the action. (That's why I went with "Raiders": What made it great, was the action.) Link to post Share on other sites

Great list but The Terminator is better than T2. Though, strictly for action sequences T2 is superior. Link to post Share on other sites
Botched Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Aliens for balls-out violent action and suspense. Predator is also right there. For action comedy I'd say True Lies or Rush Hour 2. As far as superhero movies, The Dark Knight is at the top for me. Watchmen would be second. For hand to hand combat stuff, it's got to be a crazy, no special effects movie from Southeast Asia, like Ong Bak or The Raid: Redemption. Link to post Share on other sites
TryTheBeal! Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Really like this list.Gotta say though, never seen Ronin. Should that be the next movie I watch no matter what? Is it that good? Ronin is the greatest car-chase movie ever. Highly recommended! Link to post Share on other sites
SWFLSkins Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Mad Max 2 The Road Warrior,First Blood,Predator,Enter The Dragon,Matrix,Gladiator,Speed,Bourne Ultimatum, to name a few. Did you google it PCS? lol. I did and those are the movies I was trying to think of. They also listed Saving Private Ryan- Love that movie but is it really an action movie, are war movies with action actual action movies? Link to post Share on other sites

I don't consider that or Platoon or Apocalypse Now "action films". That's getting into really technical territory. Link to post Share on other sites
RabidFan Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 They Live. LOL goes along with cheesy but loveable movies like Big Trouble in Little China Aliens Die Hard(s) though 2 was lame even with Sipowitz...lol Rambo II Butch Cassidy and Sundance Kid Raiders movies and my all time fav movie all time which to me is an action/thriller/horror/drama/ and comedy is Jaws Link to post Share on other sites
JMS Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 I'd like "Heat", too. But because is has action, and a plot. (And DeNiro and Pacino.) For pure action? How about: http://cf.drafthouse.com/_uploads/galleries/3856/indiana-jones-raiders.jpg Yeah absolutely best action movie hands down was Raiders of the Lost Ark. It has more action in the first five minutes than any other action movie had in 2 hours... So much action I got winded in the first half hour and we still have more than an hour to go.
