The ship I was stationed on has a part in Tora, Tora, it was filmed while I was stationed in Hawaii. We went into drydock during the filming and where on a railway up about 30 feet in the air, front row seats to the filming of the attack on the battleships and Fort Island. Great movie.

Any of the Die Hard series if not all of them.

Debbie does Dallas....Thats action isnt it???

Not sure if these qualify as "action movies", but Hubby's favorite movie ever is "Thief". Planet of the Apes (the ORIGINAL) was awesome. I also liked Enemy of the State, 1981 version of Excalibur, Enemy at the Gates, Independence Day, the old movie Bonnie & Clyde, Collateral, House of Flying Daggers.

Any of the Indiana Jones movies...Spiderman 1 and 2, Rush hour 1 and 2, Both of the Resident Evils,Man On Fire,all of the Terminator movies,True Lies, The Punisher, The Recruit,All Star War movies, Matrix series, Walking Tall,Blue Streak, The Bourne Identity and Supremacy,Bullet proof monk,The Rundown, Dawn of the Dead, Con Air, Die Hard series,Black Hawk Down, Executive Decision, The Fast and the Furious 1 and 2, End of Days, John Q., Kill Bill 1 and 2, Paycheck, Gone in 60 Seconds,The Last Samurai, and I could go on and on...hehe

Not sure, Braveheart might be considered a drama (Either way it is a must have!).

First two Die Hards! (Can't deny Bruce Willis)

There are many more!

Probably have to go with a dark horse candidate in The Professional.

Mikey · 02-20-2005

Die Hard and Saving Private Ryan.

Huey · 02-20-2005

Rumble in the Bronx, The Good, the Bad, & the Ugly, Battle of Britain, Bonnie and Clyde, Saving Private Ryan, Demolition Man, Dirty Harry, True Lies, The Dirty Dozen, Gladiator, Tombstone

I like action movies...

**denisea** · 02-20-2005

I have always loved the Lethal Weapon movies... good combination of action and humor... and Mel ain't bad to look at for a few hours either. Enjoy the Indiana Jones movies too. And of course, don't forget to throw in a Bond movie or two... those are classic action movies.

Aapocalypse Now, surreal and action-packed. Bullitt with Steve Mcqueen, great chase scenes.

cuffedlinks · 02-20-2005

Off the top off my head - Some that I didn't notice, might include:

The French Connection, Lawrence of Arabia, The Great Escape, Braveheart, Scarface ("Say Hello to My Little Friend"), Platoon, Apocalypse Now, The Wild Bunch, Bullitt, The Thomas Crown Affair (with Steve McQueen),

....Those are all I could just rattle off that I hadn't seen mentioned...

Have to side with sctx on the Professional. Indie flick but with a good amount of violence and a great ending! Action....get the first 24 season, will almost make you tired watching it! Another good one for your list is "Snatch". Action and humor!
