In no particular order, I'd probably pick Terminator 2, Die Hard, Robocop, The Dark Knight, Heat, Kill Bill 1+2, District 9, The Crow (been awhile since I've seen it though), Speed, and maybe John Wick.
There's probably quite a few I've missed out on, especially foreign action films.
What are your picks, either popular or obscure?
Two of my favorite action movies of all time, both by John Carpenter, are They Live and Big Trouble In Little China. I could watch both endlessly on repeat and still enjoy/get laughs/have fun.
Oh shit, I forgot about Carpenter when I typed up my list. Escape from New York was also pretty decent for its time imo.
It's a solid action movie for sure, Carpenter put out some great work in his time.
John Carpenter's Vampire$ is the same goofy, over the top kind of action movie but with vampires.
