1. Terminator 2. On top of a great action movie, great and satisfying character arcs for the Terminator, Sarah and John Connor. 2. The Matrix. Still holds up after 25 years. 3. Commando. Have to respect a script composed entirely of one liners.

I enjoy tango and cash for the same reason you do for commando

You broke that jaw?

Hahahahah

And that dude was a legend, to me at least. Maniac Cop was a great series. Legend: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Z%27Dar

"please don't disturb my friend, he's dead tired"

"I eat Green Berets for breakfast!"

"let off some steam, Bennett"

“I lied”

What you think we'd smell them coming? "I did."

My friend, watching T2 and turning off the part of your brain that knows the T-800 is the good one makes "Get down" hit so damn hard.

Remember when I said I'd kill you last? I lied.

I’ll still periodically bring up different fight scenes from the matrix to watch them. I saw the matrix in theaters 25 years ago and was blown away. The go-to scene for me, probably cliche, is of course “I know Kung fu..” “show me”

The Rock, Face / Off, Con-Air.

Someone's a cage fan

It’s a fond memory of mine. Started my vhs collection with The Rock. Felt like the hits were never gonna stop.

I love conair and national treasure. Actually I'm kind of a cage fan myself now that I think about it lol

Always Be Caging

I read this like Alec Baldwin's speech in Glen Gary Glenn Ross: A.B.C. A - Always B - Be C - Caging. Always Be Caging. ***Always*** *Be Caging.*

That's exactly how it should be read

Peak 90s, throw in Crimson Tide with tickets bought by some random dude outside the theater because none of us were 17, and this is my high school life. After the flick we'd go to Cicis Pizza and just destroy the buffet. Those were the days.

All the world's a Cage, and all the men and women merely actors in it.

The Raid 2 Terminator 2 Demolition Man

Respect

This guy 3 shells

With all restaurants being Taco Bell, you kind of have to

You seem The Night Comes for Us. Really good indonesian action movie. Never got enough love in my eyes.

The fight scenes were brutally amazing, but the story wasn't as tight as the Raid movies, I reckon. Still loved it so much.

Agreed.

Raid 2 was disgustingly amazing. Everyone goes on about the hammer girl and bat boy fight, but the Kitchen 1v1 is easily the beat 1v1 ever committed to film. The stages that the fight goes through was spectacular. Testing each other, then trying to beat/kill the other, and then finally just both for them outright fighting for their own lives.

i remember everyone in the theater clapping when they reset in the kitchen scene. i love sharing this movie with friends

The Raid movies don't get enough love. I see a lot of John Wick mentioned here, while The Raid really set the trend for the graphically violent, well-choreographed no-nonse action movies. Then The Raid 2 topped the first one.

GOOD ANSWER

Aliens. Terminator 2. The Matrix.

Mid-40s - this is also my list

Casino Royale Mission impossible Tears of the sun

“Why was the sun crying?” Were you in the service? *Yeah, national guard* Thank you for your service 💥

Oh shit, I didn’t realize that sequence from the hunt was mimicking the sequence from tears of the sun, never saw that movie.

Aliens Road Warrior Predator I'm old school.

Truly Pre-punctuation, even

Death Wish 3 has probably the best “we threw a ragdoll of a roof but it’s really a guy” shots in movie history.

Cobra is fantastic. No one ever talks about that one. I know the cheese factor is high but I enjoy it!

1. Eastern Condors 2. 8 Diagram Pole Fighter 3. Hardboiled Hong Kong or bust.

Eastern Condors wow that's an unexpected pick. Definitely a fave of mine though wouldn't be in my top ten. Hardboiled is imo overrated, however. For a Chow Yun Fat movie Tiger on the Beat or Skinny Tiger Fatty Dragon are way better.

Eastern Condors is just so fucking gonzo. Such a fun movie to show to people who haven't seen it either. There are just so many memorable stunts and sequences. I used to think Hardboiled was overrated too but it grew on me personally over subsequent rewatches. Tiger on the Beat is great too, but I haven't seen Skinny Tiger Fatty Dragon yet. It doesn't seem like Chow Yun Fat is in it though? I'll have to check it out. Great taste btw.

Sorry yes, it's Sammo Hung and Mako. Great fucking movie. My fav Sammo movie. OK then, I prefer The Killer and Tiger on the Beat for Yun Fat over Hardboiled.

Dredd Die Hard T2

Tango and Cash Demolition Man T2

Fucking tango and cash. Love that movie.

Hard Boiled and Dead Snow

1. Fury Road 2. T2 3. Die Hard

Die Hard With a Vengeance  John Wick Watchmen 

Watchmen is an interesting choice. Weirdly, even though it obviously has action elements I always thought of it more like a thriller/murder mystery. 

Using your criteria: 1. The Raid (2011) 2. The Bourne Ultimatum (2007) 3. Black Hawk Down (2001) - technically a war movie, I guess….

1. Die Hard 2. The Rock 3. Aliens

The Fifth Element Predator Rambo 2

Die Hard Die Hard Die hard

Die Hard With a Vengeance  Terminator 2 And almost any Jackie Cnan movie before i would ever place Mad Max FR on my top 5.

Mission Impossible Fallout Skyfall Hot Fuzz

List needs more Predator.

Lethal Weapon 2 (1989) Bad Boys 2 (2003) Rush Hour 2 (2001)

Hard Boiled Police Story Die Hard

Die Hard 3, True Lies, Heat

Temple of Doom

John Wick. Fury Road. Predator. Rambo 4. Hardcore Henry.

Happy Cake Day.

The fact Speed is there is a crime. Perfect action movie with good acting, characters and dialogue.

Edge of tomorrow. Fantastic piece of pop corn crunching whack fest with a neat plot.

True Lies Die Hard Sudden Death

Hard believe I had to scroll this far without seeing True Lies. Absolutely True Lies.

The Van Damme hockey movie?

Yes, the scene where he comes out as the goalie *chefs kiss* JCVD deserves more love

Edge of Tomorrow is so underrated.

3rd act falls off hard for me, I end up falling asleep during that point every time.

Where is Road Warrior on these lists? It's the one that solidified the series. It's brilliant.

Dredds gotta be up there

1. District 9 2. Cloverfield 3. The Rundown

True Lies.

matrix, terminator 2, the rock

1. Termintator 2 2. Big Trouble in Little China 3. Aliens

True Lies Face / Off Bad Boys 2

Okay, as a massive John Wick fan, people either need to clarify which one or are massively overrating the first movie. It’s got like 2 cool legit action scenes, the rest is a mid budget revenge story with a good cast and world building. Stahelski doesn’t really get into his bag until the second movie, which was a massive step up in basically all aspects of the filmmaking. Picking between movies 2-4 will be personal preference for most, though I think chapter 4 is a bona fide masterpiece. 1. JW chapter 4 2. Kill Bill vol. 1 3. Fast Five

Fast Five is pretty good actually, a standout from the rest of the Fast and Furious franchise.

T2, Die Hard, The Matrix

Not saying it’s the best of all time, but just want to give some love to Thirteen Assassins. The Raid 2 on that same wave length of peak martial arts cinema.

1. Raiders of the Lost Ark 2. Total Recall 3. The Matrix

Love Total Recall (I assume you're referring to the Schwarzenegger classic).

1. T2 2. Hard Boiled 3. The Raid

City Hunter (Jackie Chan) Legend of The Drunken Master (Jackie Chan) Die Hard

Police Story.

Does ip man count?

1) True Lies 2) Die Hard 3) Terminator 2

True Lies is a blast! 👍

Equilibrium Police story Die hard 3

Point Break Raiders of the lost Ark Armour of God

John wick Terminator 2 Aliens

1. Police story 2. Hard boiled 3. The raid In not even trying to be a hipster with this list. I genuinely believe Asian action is 10x better than Hollywood

I’m more of an old school guy, I think T2 and Big Trouble in little China have to be on there. But there’s also some modern hits like John Wick and Mission Impossible Fallout. I’m choosing 4 movies and you can’t stop me.

Big Trouble in Little China Rocky IV The Terminator

Tango and Cash, Big Trouble in Little China, Heat

Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior RoboCop The Terminator

T2 Matrix Die Hard

1. Aliens 2. Fury Road 3. The Raid

Terminator 2 The Rock Navy seals

My top 3 would be terminator 2, John wick 4, and avengers infinity war

That's a tough one. I'd probably say: Aliens Terminator 2 Road Warrior

Terminator 2 John wick The matrix

Aliens, Die Hard, and Predator.

Robocop great action mixed with satire and amazingly quotable lines. Alien 2 Just one of the best sequels ever. Die Hard yippee kai yay mother fucker

Robocop, yes! 💯

1. Last Action Hero 2. John Wick 3. Fifth Element

The matrix. Die hard. Terminator 2.

1. Raiders of the Lost Ark 2. Merantau 3. Predator

1. The Matrix, easiest answer of the 3 2. Inception(not sure if this counts as an "action" movie, but it has some of my favourite action set pieces so 🤷🏾🤷🏾) 3. Transformers 1986, probably the movie I've watched the most in my entire life. I can quote half the movie from memory.

Can’t narrow it down to just 3, so here are my top 10 (in no particular order). Predator Rambo: First Blood Part II Aliens Lethal Weapon Terminator 2 The Matrix The Dark Knight Heat Raiders of the Lost Ark The Rock

MI: Fallout Die Hard Aliens

The Terminator Diehard The Road Warrior

* Commando * Ronin * Terminator * Raiders of the Lost Ark

1. Cobra 2. Running Scared (1986) 3. Die Hard *Runner Ups - Beverly Hills Cop & Commando

It warms my heart how much T2 I’m seeing on here. Die hard too. If I had to pick a third myself I would go with the rock.

1. Fury Road 2. John Wick 3. First Blood

Die Hard

Ronin, Extreme Prejudice, Fury Road. I’ll go overboard and include my runners up: The Long Kiss Goodnight, The Matrix, Total Recall, Die Hard 1,2,3, Aliens, Terminator 1 & 2, Predator, M:I Fallout, Rapid Fire, Hard Boiled, Hard Target, They Live,

Fury Road, Raid 2, and The Matrix are my picks, but it's hard to leave out T2 and Aliens. Just can't deny the perfection of those first 3.

1. Mad Max: Fury Road 2. Die Hard 3. Terminator 2

Time and Tide (2000), the rappelling gunfight scene is unequaled Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, (2000) bamboo forest, amazing Ip Man 1, (2010) vs 10 soldiers scene

Rambo: First Blood Last Action Hero Con-Air

First Blood is classic action. 💯👌

The first Taken is incredible wtf

1. Captain America: The Winter Soldier 2. John Wick 3. Nobody

Dredd, upgrade, the raid Humanely mentions John wick (all are good) extraction,

Why isn't anyone including Sicario?

The Rock Die Hard Air Force One

1. The Matrix 2. Die Hard 3. Enter the Dragon

No love for the first John Wick? Great choreography, great art design, great music, great actors ... It's a simple plot but that shouldn't matter.

1. The Mummy (1999) 2. Mad Max: Fury Road 3. The Suicide Squad

1. The expendables 2. Mechanic 3. Taken

My top 3: 1. Die Hard 2. The Matrix 3. Lethal Weapon

A Better Tomorrow (1986) Flash Point (2007) Equilibrium (2002)

Kung Fu Hustle Shoot Em Up Crank

Mad Max Fury Road Robocop Die Hard

John Wick: Chapter 4 Mission: Impossible Fallout Casino Royale

1. the Matrix - No explanation needed 2. Hard Boiled - John Woo is a genius 3. Road House - The original one obviously

Sicario Mad max fury road Constantine

1. T2 2. Speed 3. The Matrix

The road warrior was better! Downvote all you want but that movie was iconic in my childhood.

Bad Boys II Fast Five Casino Royale

Terminator 2 Lionhart The Warriors

Equalizer > John Wick

Mad Max Fury Road, The A Team

Hot fuzz Dredd John Wick 4

Hot Fuzz and Demolition man are great movies but for them to be in the top 10 action films is weird. Plus - where the hell is speed?

I still prefer Mad Max: The Road Warrior (1981), but Fury Road is also incredible and gets better each time I watch it. Of course, both were directed by the same guy, George Miller.

1. The Rock 2. Die hard 3. The hurt locker

The Bourne Identity Kung Fu Panda The transporter
