Good Action Movies

[SOJA]

I'm in summer school and am bored. Help me get through this huddlers by telling me some of your favorite action movies. thanks

[Samuel L. Jackson]

Crank and Crank 2... Thank me later, when you get out of the hospital...

From Paris With Love was actually a pretty good action movie.

[PanthaSan]

Anything with Steven Segal.......

j/k if you've seen one Segal movie, you've seen 'em all.

What type of action genre? Me, I like just about anything by Akira Kurosawa. Lots of spectacle and he usually tells a good story. Check out "Ran" it's his version of the King Lear story.

Another favorite director is Stanley Kubrick. My fav from him is "Clockwork Orange"

For lots of blood and bullets, check out some of the early Ahnold movies like Commando and Predator.

Being that you are young, you might want to check out some of the older ones from the 70's and 80's or ask a video clerk what is good, they usually know.

Happy viewing...

You should be neg repped to smack for this.

As for the OP: GOOD action movies? I wouldn't know.

There hasn't been a nonstop action flick like the Crank series ever... before or since...

You should be more pissed about the guy suggesting the John Travolta movie... What a joke..

You're right. There hasn't been a movie with nonstop bad acting like the Crank series in awhile. It's so bad I had to comment.

crank was great, crank 2 sucked and from paris with love was f*cking turrible.

Watch Ronin, Taken, the director's cut of Payback, the Pusher trilogy, Ong Bok the Thai Warrior or any of what PanthaSan recommended. Kurosawa is f*cking great.

[Purity-Control]

RoboCop, Total Recall, Die Hard, The Running Man, Aliens, Even Demo Man has its moments

Most of the sh*t they make today is just that. I thought crank was horrid, the epitome of a mindless action movie.

[Samuel L. Jackson]

Trying to come up with some not-so-well-known action flicks.

Equilibrium - Excellent sci-fi action

Hard-Boiled - Definitive John Woo/Chow Yun Fat
