Best action movie of all time?

[Spaceman Spiff]

What's your pick for the best action movie of all time?

No polls, just a debate.

I'm thinking Terminator 2 definitely has to be in the top 3-5. Die Hard. The Dark Knight.

Oh, couldn't forget:

I thought the first Matrix was an outstanding action movie. Best all time though I'm not sure. It's up there though

[Thiebear]

Matrix was a game changer
Independence day was a good one
Kill bill

I watched the Matrix the other day and thought, damn these graphics look lame and cheesy. But, in 1999, it looked amazing.

Terminator 2
First Blood (Rambo)
Predator
Die Hard
The end of Home Alone

...c'mon......

Terminator 2

Die Hard
The end of Home Alone

That's actually a pretty good list

[DSF]

I'd put "Heat" on that list as well...

Terminator 2 easy. My favorite movie of all time.

I remember seeing it @ the uptown theater...it changed my life.

I'd like "Heat", too. But because is has action, and a plot.

(And DeNiro and Pacino.)

For pure action? How about:

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.

I would say Raiders of the Lost Ark, especially since it's my second favorite film of all time, but it's obviously an adventure movie. But then there is the Action/Adventure genre at video stores...at least it used to be, you know, back when there were video stores, and back when they were commonly referred to as videos because that was the format they were made with. Anyway if we're not accepting Raiders then I'm going to go with Robocop. Mainly, this is because of the scene where the robot shoots that guy like 50,000 times. They just don't put stuff like that in movies these days...at least not as frequently.

Aliens. That and T2: Judgment Day.

[youngchew]

Oh...forgot about Aliens. Raiders and last crusade honorable mention.

Geez...they dont make movies like they used to.

[Predicto]

Raiders of the Lost Ark. Hands down, game over, close the thread.

That movie was a total gamechanger.

(camp classic honorable mentions to Big Trouble in Little China and Army of Darkness)

[DM72]

The Empire Strikes Back. But that might be more of a fantasy than action movie.
