Shoot 'Em Up.
The Medallion of the Imperial Psychopath, a Napoleon: Total War AAR
For the Emperor!, a Total War: Shogun 2: Fall of the Samurai AAR
Die Hard.
Deliciously funny, without losing any of its other qualities.
No mention of Heat? What's wrong with you guys?
I wouldn't say that it is categorically the bestest ever, but Predator is one flick I'd rank up there that hasn't been mentioned yet. Under Siege too?

I love Under Siege, the second? Not so much. But it is without a shadow of a doubt Segals finest hour.
Just another mention for the latest Rambo film and The Expendables, both know exactly what they are, mindless pew pew.
Also Taken is very underrated.
Really good movies mentioned so far,good job guys :D

Lethal Weapon counts, right? Love me some Lethal Weapon.
Terminator 2 and Die Hard are probably the ones I would say are the best.
Terminator 2, Die Hard, the Lethal Weapon films and the Bourne series are ones I never really tire of. So many I bits I love in Ultimatum. The Waterloo station bit, the chase in Morocco, the diversion he creates in New York and subsequent phone conversation with the Deputy Director. Great movie.

also the first XXX. The second one with Ice Lolly was pants.
Oh yeah, and also The Quantum of Solace.
Long live House Lannister.
Also Cliffhanger, SWAT and The Punisher! (Dolph Lundgren version, of course) Congratulations, you're wrong about everything.
Hey, I liked Cliffhanger. =/
And Quantum of Solace, but not really for the action...
Cliffhanger was good, but it took a while to warm up. Never seen The Punisher, but I remember Dark Angel with Dolph LUndgren and Showdown in little Tokyo.
Master of the Universe was his shining moment though, few can disagree.
Long live House Lannister.
Maybe not quite everything, but lest ye forget the title of this thread is "Best ACTION movie of all times goes to.. ? ??"There's a lot of ways to misread that, but I can't think of one that merits XXX's inclusion.

I'd probably say the first two Terminator films are among my favourites, although when I first saw T2 I can't believe I thought young John Connor was cool, rather than an annoying little toe-rag (in my defense I was younger than the character on first viewing). I thought the Expendables was actually awful, one of the worst films I've paid to see (It spars with Clash of the Titans for the worst film I've seen at cinema in the last 10 years)
Commando is amazing too, Bennett cracks me up with his chain-mail vest and the way he turns excruciating dialogue effortlessly into excruciating acting - 'I don't need a gun John'.
Honourable mention to the the Matrix, blew everything else out of the water when it came out, shame about the sequels.
I don;t see why so many slate Clash of the Titans, i thought it was a good popcorn movie.
Long live House Lannister.
The 1982 Conan the Barbarian film, which I have to say is my favourite film of all time, is great to watch especially if you are with like-minded chaps after a kebab and a couple rounds at the pub. Tonnes of dudes getting hacked apart with swords, James Earl Jones, Max von Sydow, plenty of snakes to go around (even used as weapons!) and one of the best soundtracks ever. And that scene where Arnie gets stoned and punches out a camel. It also looks fantastic.
But I still stand by my original suggestion of Raiders Of Atlantis because I have a real thing for B grade action films by Italian directors and Raiders is the best one I've seen.
Young John Connor IS cool, though not as cool as his red mulleted friend.
I didn't mention Heat because I'd never thought of it really as an action film? More Action Thriller, but thats probably just a quirk of my mind. It really is an amazing film though.
HEAT have one of the best shotouts in movies,realistic stuff makes me freaking drolling. Also The Town from Ben Affleck had great shooting scenes,also quite realistic.
