Default Favorite Action Movie

I figured the singular movie recommendation thread worked out well.

So what's the one action movie you love.
Now KG pointed out that action is such a weird genre so define it how you want, but let's try for some explosions in it.

I have a soft spot in my heart for Predator.

Fantastic.

You know what, I'm not sure. I haven't really watched too many action movies that were memorable enough for me to even remember what ones I have and have not seen.

Hmm you are either watching all the wrong ones.
Or all the right ones.

Give some examples of action movies you have seen.

Die Hard has a nice balance of action and acting, and it's not overly campy or cheesy. I thought about this a little, and while I still think my first choice is "Die Hard," I'd say T1/T2 would be close behind. The Terminator movies rock.

And nice to see Robocop nominated. That movie is really dark and sardonic.
