So, what is YOUR favorite Action movie(s)? Mine would have to be either:
1. Goodfella's
2. Red
3. Saving Private Ryan
Commando
Goodfellas is not an action movie, though
The Raid 2
It's a toss up between Dredd and Die Hard.

Both of those ar GREAT movies. I just watched Dredd not to long ago.
As far as pure action goes my brain will always go with Commando first. Die Hard, Kill Bill, Matrix, Predator are pretty sick, too.

All great movies :)
Django Unchained is probably my favorite.
[QUOTE=The_J_Hat;45005813]Dredd[/QUOTE]
beat me to it. a lot of people i've said to about Dredd have been put off it because of the original film with Stallone.
but its so great.
Dredd is excellent, and so is the Raid.
Raid notably because it proves how smaller budget action film can blow any 500-million star-face film out of the water.

haven't seen raid 2 though
Shit, almost any action flick is great and potentially a favorite.
Until the next fucking awesome one comes and kicks the previous one's ass out of the spotlight.
But overall, Star Wars, The Avengers and The Matrix are my top action films. Then again I'm more of an action-adventure type dude.

I enjoyed every single on of those :)
Man everyone hates on the Matrix sequels, but strictly as far as action is concerned, Matrix Reloaded is easily one of the greatest action movies of all time. The fight choreography going on in that shit is simply incredible.
honorable mentions:
Ong Bak
Hero
Chronicles of Riddick
The Patriot (Mel Gibson one from 2000, not the 1998 Steven Segal)
all 5 Resident Evil movies (they are so dumb, but i strangely enjoy them)
Die hard 1 2 3 4
bourne series
Fast 5 6
Terminator 2
Dark knight
Transporter
Mission impossible
B 13
Ongbak
Matrix 1 2
Rambo 123
Rocky 1 2
Transporters have some pretty good fighting scenes.
And I like Jason Statham in general, notably in Crank, but fuck if Transporters ain't the most cheesiest and cliche shit ever.

I'm still very disappointed at the complete lack of glorifying the Raid as one of the best action films ever. What the hell guys?
Most of Jackie Chan's Hong Kong stuff.
Hard Boiled, that is such a good film if you ignore a central plot point being "You need to sing my Emails".
Mission: Impossible, Desperado, Robocop, Escape from New York.
