[pmac]

What do you consider the best action films of the 1980's and 1990's already on Blu...looking to stock up but I'm having trouble thinking of them. I have Die hards and most Arnold movies (not that their the best) I don't like the Rambo series personally.

What do you think

Sorry if this is a thread already I did a search but came up empty.

The Killer

Eh, I dunno. Some of the stuff mentioned here is pretty hard to beat but there are decent current action titles too.

Hanna, Chronicle, District 9, Cloverfield, Daniel Craig's Bond outings, various comic adaptations (Iron Man and X2 being personal faves)...even fairly vapid stuff like Battle Los Angeles wasn't completely without merit.

Yeah there are definitely some great action movies today, but most just don't have that same gritty feel as the older ones. I think the Expendables is probably the closest but that's because they intentionally tried to channel that whole 80's/90's action-y feel.

I'd say the Matrix, which I did list, would belong more to the modern day action movie-type, which are just more over the top and supplemented with CGI. It might even be considered one of the groundbreaking movies to form the boundary between the two eras.

I'd also like to add Desperado and From Dusk Till Dawn.
