For a breather here, 'cause I am also a movie fan, to the extent that I even converted my own small private room/bedroom to a small/mini home theater, just want to know what's the BEST ever action movie you've watched to date. For me, the best movie minus the latest computer-generated action-packed scenes is I guess the movie of Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger - "THE PREDATOR" !!! It was shown last October 0f 1987 (Manila). I was really amazed and speechless upon seeing the entire movie, though I must admit here that a small fraction of the entire movie was edited/made using the latest computer tech. done in the movies at present. Having fought an alien barely with almost no ammunitions left with Arnie just simply using the resources found in the jungle was truly great. Though realistically speaking, that would be a no-no in real life -very much impossible. They made a sequel to the said movie - PREDATOR 2, but I just did not like the actor who potrayed it (black man), where the alien was wrecking havoc in the city. Now let me hear your choices people . . .

Wizard of Oz is that an action flick ??????????????????????? Speaking of the 1930's circa movies, let's not just forget the movies - Casablanca and Gone With The Wind, still very popular in DVDs and VCDs here. P R E D A T O R , is still the best for me ! |

Lifeless and lifeless... Desperate I'd say. Van damme movies would be my last choise in a store of movies. I rent every Swarchenegger film I can since they're so funny. He can really only play one role (but that he's good at) and I think that character is funny since he thinks he's so bloody cool.

tough choice, and probably one that changes each time I think about it, but probably my most watched action movie would be 5th element. I can never tire of watching that.

Yeah Bruce Willis' - The 5th Element is a nice one too - indeed very futuristic. One thing that I really liked about Bruce's movies is the DIE HARD series - really great, very realistic at times. Just who can ever forget about Arnie's movie counterpart - Sly Stallone, the 'RAMBO' series were really really great, an army of one against the whole of Russia - quite impossible huh, but he managed to live. LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION !!! |

@skin, I agree W of O was a turning point, like the T68m it turned a black & white world into full technicolour.
Pelham 123, is a good one.
Leon, is brilliant.
Night of the hunter, must be an action movie.
But does anyyone remember tthe name of that film where some cowboys go to find treasure in an area tthat turns out to be a getto, gang warfare takes off & the film uses up more lead than the roof of the cremlin.

@pachy - cowboys ??? Do you know at least the actor who starred on it? JohnWayne's/Clint Eastwood's/Charles Bronson's cowboy movie flicks were truly an outstanding success during their eras. But the latest cowboy movie that really made we wonder (because they used computer-generated scenes) time and again was that of Will Smith's - Wild, Wild West. For an oldie - How The West Was Won, was indeed a great one too! |
