I watched Blach Hawk Down 2 days ago (For the second time), the end kind of choked me up. I enjoyed it much more the second time. District 9 was also quite excellent.AmrasCalmacil said:
In Bruges(Seriously, you have to watch this film)
Kick Ass (At first I thought it was going to be a pile of shit like Epic movie or Disaster movie but it's one of my favorite films, glad my friends talked me into seeing it)
Taken (Love that film)
Iron Man 2 (also very good)
That's it for now.

That's the problem y'see.
The movie was a great idea, and I really enjoyed it.
And then, it decided to wallow in more cringe-worthy immaturity than, than...
Analogies fail me. Dogma was very close to being an intelligent and witty comedy.
Instead, Chris Rock was in it.
God, I love all those movies except Inglorious Basterds. I thought it was a little disappointing, especially after it was advertised in a way that made it seem like a fast-paced action movie.xRagnarok19 said:
District 9, Equilibrium, and 30 Days of Night were just awesome, though.
If you haven't seen them already, the first two Terminator films and the first two Alien films are classics, as are the original Star Wars trilogy, and all four Indiana Jones films. Don't let anybody tell you the fourth one sucked; it wasn't much worse than Raiders or Crusade, and it was much better than Temple. Also, track down the original cuts of the Star Wars films if you can; forget the complaints about Greedo shooting first, or the CG looking out of place -- the pacing is what was really screwed up by the special editions. I grew up on the SE, and the GOUT was a revelation when I recently watched it for the first time since 1997.
Other films that might fit your criteria: Predator is good, as is the original Stargate film. The first six Star Trek films are all worth seeing once, and all of them except the fifth one are worth seeing many times; for straight up action adventure, I recommend Star Trek 6. Also, you can't go wrong with the Pirates of the Carribean trilogy, and the Lord of the Rings movies are good -- if you can stand the adaptation decay; The changes to The Two Towers made me so mad that I Still haven't seen The Return of the King. Two more good ones are Blade Runner and Batman Begins; for Blade Runner, I recommend the international cut if you can find it, but you can't really go wrong with any of them.

It's a Tarentino movie, yeesh, what did you excpect?lasherman said:
Oh right.
Well that was a silly thing to expect.
The Rock, Hunt for Red October, Black Hawk Down, We Were Soldiers, Firefly, Serenity, Armageddon.
Aw man, I needed that $20...lasherman said:
Yeah, B.A. kinda threw me until I saw it. I get more into story than the characters watching a movie. Don't know why.
OT: This is a good thread. I'll continue.
How about, Titan A.E.? It is kind of meh, but it is always good for a slow evening. Or iRobot, though it's possible that one just tickles my "Tech Nerd" nerve, and isn't all that good to other people. : /
All i've watched recently are the "Angry Beavers" cartoons available on Netflix. Sorry if I disapoint.
Versus is one of the most mind-blowingly awesome action movies of all time.
The Crow has some fantastic fights too.
If you're willing to step further into the past then The Eiger Sanction, They Live, Sorcerer and The Thing are all fantastic, although the last two are more suspense then action.
...and the original Death Race 2000 is not to be missed either.
For people who prefer to live in the present, I add my recommendation for Sin City and District 9.
