What are your favourites? Obviously there are the classics like Die Hard and The Terminator, but are there any less known films you like? Also who are your favourite actors/directors/producers in these types of films?

I'm looking to go deeper into the genre now I have most of the best known films, especially films of the 80s. List your top ... if you want to.

My fave action movie ever is probably "The Rock," because Sean Connery is the man.

I also dig the James Bond series, the Die Hard flicks, and countless others. It would take me a little while to come up with a serious list of faves.

I bought that on DVD. Watched and thought what the hell, this girl turns up from nowhere and end's up being the man guy's girlfriend. It wasn't until I read that they'd cut a decent chunk of the film, including the part where he meets her/takes her out. It should be totally awful (ridiculous over the top characters) but it's really
awesome.

They're pretty decent and one of the few realistic action series.

As far as I know, the UK version has being cut massively and excludes the scene where a guy's neck is broken. Totally unfair!

This guy has great taste. All the movies mentioned in this thread are great. I recommend all Van Damme's movies even the newer ones. I also recommend Hard to Kill, Marked for Death, Out for Justice, and a lot Seagal's
movies.

My recent bout of B-Movie madness reminds me of a couple of cool, mostly forgotten action flicks from the early 90s: "Class of 1999" with Malcolm McDowell, and "I Come In Peace" (aka "Dark Angel") starring Dolph Lundgren... both are cheesy but totally kickass.

I think I metioned it in another thread, but there'a a company called Fight Factory distributing direct-to-video films by people like Steven Seagal, Dolph Lundgren, Wesley Snipes and Van Damme. They're all made on a small budget of course, but they're really cheap and some are even half decent Action films Lol

Love "I Come in Peace". It is a guilty pleasure of mine. The gun used by the alien rocks! Little know fact: The good alien cop was played by ESPN College Basketball Analyst and former Duke player Jay Bilas!!

One thing I don't like is the way that action films are now toned down ridiculously, so they can stick a 12/15 rating (or region specific rating) so they can make more money. Like Commando was cut from 18 rated to 15 rated for the dvd release.

Anyway, just ordered these:
Alien
Aliens
Hard Target
Predator (2 disc)
Rambo: First Blood
