I would have to say in my opinion it has to be terminator 2!! What's everyone's opinion

ZooTv · 04-02-2013, 11:47 PM

John Woo's The Killer (1989)

Andyman5022 · 04-02-2013, 11:50 PM

Die hard

T2 is great though too

bluknight1 · 04-02-2013, 11:52 PM

T2 or Die Hard. I can't decide.

MifuneFan · 04-02-2013, 11:58 PM

Die Hard

These would probably round out my top 5:

Hard Boiled
Terminator 2
The Killer
The Matrix

ALIENS for me.

Best action film & my favorite flick of the 80's

Agreed. That film is so ahead of its time IMO.

Visco. · 04-03-2013, 12:30 AM

I think the new Star Trek, The Avengers, King Kong, Casino Royale, Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol, and 300 deserve to be mentioned as well. I might add more to this post since I've been wanting to keep a list of my favorite action movies.

csdot · 04-03-2013, 12:43 AM

Predator and Die Hard

xander · 04-03-2013, 12:45 AM

Commando.

DisneyWorld · 04-03-2013, 06:56 AM

Terminator 2

octagon · 04-03-2013, 07:12 AM

There would a pretty big dogfight for second place but yeah, first is pretty easy: Die Hard

A Tortured Duckling · 04-03-2013, 09:00 AM

Terminator 2, followed by Aliens.

Couldn't have phrased in better.

In recent memory, The Raid is probably one of the finest action films made, taking a genre that had gathered a whole mess around it, taking away all the convoluted complications and cliches and just focusing on the barebones of it all, what really matters, the action.

But Die Hard will never be beaten, and it doesn't come close to the likes of Terminator 2, Aliens, Robocop, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Predator, The Matrix, First Blood.

I guess Skyfall could go up for nomination as well, for taking Bond in a new direction while giving everything you could possibly want from a Bond film and then some.

A big +1. That one'll stand the test of time.

T2, Enter the Dragon, and The Matrix are the ultimate action films imo.

sukraj · 04-05-2013, 04:21 PM

predator
terminator 2

mlittle3 · 04-05-2013, 05:06 PM

Pretty much any Michael Bay movie besides Pearl Harbor.

Terminator 2 is a good movie...but the action is rather meh.
