Lights, camera ACTION MOVIES!!

Time to talk action movies. Shoot'em up, blow'em up, non-stop heart thumping action! I can't possibly name every movie out there so here's a few.

To start it off the "Governator" must be mentioned for his constant classic action movies he's delievered to us over the years. Pick any one you want, we all know at least one quote from it. My favorite in "Last Action Hero"? "You want to be a farmer? Here's a couple of acres!!"

Good stuff.
Jason's been making action movies for some time now and is trying really hard to establish himself as the next "true" action star. But he's really hit or miss. In the Transporter he's a hit. People must love him because he's constantly coming out with action movies left and right. But Transporter's still my favorite by him.
No one makes a action movie quite like Bruce Willis. The Die Hard movies are so entertaining I could see myself walking into theaters to see Die Hard 5,6,7,8, and 9. Jack Baurs' or 24 is the only guy who's has worse days than John McClain.
Oh Indiana, you capture the hearts of us all. I remember watching these movies as a kid when my uncle turned to us and said "Now you do know real archaeologist are nothing like this, right?" Yet when you google the word on "images" Indy pictures pop up on the first page. 

Who know's maybe somewhere out there an archaeologist is making a huge discovery and is looking over his shoulder wishing for the Nazi's to attack him. In defense, I'd like to say that even though the last one to come out wasn't as good. I'd love to see them make another. That last movie is NO WAY for Dr Jones to go out!
Finally we mention one of my favorite action stars of all time. Jackie Chan. He can do it all folks and if you've seen any of his films you know what I mean. There's a laundry list of good movies from this guy (new and old) so I'll just leave it at that.

Honorable Action Star Mentions:
1) Chuck Norris
2) Sylverster Stallone
3) Tony Jaa 
4) Vin Dieasel
5)Matt (Jason Bourne) Dameon

Please Don't Mention:
1) Wesley Snipes
2) Steven Segal
3) JVCD
4) Dolph Lundgren
5) Jet Li

JVCD- Jean Claude Van Dam. Toby'll kill me for saying that but I just don't know about that guy. I mean, I have trouble trying to think of one good movie of his.

I'm sure he had one or two I would remember but none come to mind. Suggestions?

Ok...
(since I can't leave well enough alone)
Let me tickle your comic book nerve:
While Watchmen is a deconstruction of SUPER heroes...
JCVD (the film) is a deconstruction of ACTION heroes!
(i'm done now)
:(

I really do have to agree with Van Damme. I love most of his movies.
I also really agree with Die Hard. Probably the best action movie ever made. A few others from my list.

1)Boondock Saints
2)The Rock
3)Point Break
4)Terminator 2 (Even though it's kinda Sci-Fi)
5)Black Hawk Down

OH and Toby-O, you forgot one of the best JCVD movies, Double Impact.
