The latest mad max movie

First blood

Jurassic park (does this count?)

Jaws (action?)

[edjr 5,547]

Aliens

The Dark Knight

Star Wars ESB

Terminator 2

 

 

I honestly am struggling to to pick 4, but I'll do with these

[iam90sbaby 2,121]

Does The Matrix count?

[dain11279 927]

Die Hard and T2 should pretty much be cemented in everyone's list. The Dark Knight is a good one but is that an action movie or a superhero movie or are they the same?

[wiffleball 4,631]

To those who voted for Jaws , I would respectfully submit deep blue sea instead. Much more action. Less of a psychological Thriller and more of an action film.

 

Plus, 100% less annoying little Jewy guy.

The lobby scene alone should at least be considered one of the baddest a$$ gun scenes in the last 20 years.

Heath Ledger was focking terrific in that movie

[wiffleball 4,631]

That secondary explosion was a real screw up. Ledger's reaction? Was a one time improvement that was so good and seamless, it made the cut.

admit you're racist and you like DBS because

 

[Cruzer 1,992]

The Fast and the Furious saga has grossed over $5 freaking Billion worldwide.

 

I'd have to put the original one on the Mountain.

[MDC 5,877]

My Mount Rushmore:

 

Die Hard

Commando

Raiders of the Lost Ark

Aliens

 

Honorable mention to T2, Robocop and Road House. If we're opening this up to martial arts movies, Enter the Dragon, Fist of Legend, Ip Man, The Raid: Redemption and Ong Bak 2 top my list.

[wiffleball 4,631]

...that WAS good, but Scream pulled that stunt first.

 

 

Plus, much bigger fan of Rachel? In wet white bikini bottom.

[wiffleball 4,631]

All right, then I definitely have to put in one of my all-time favorites. Not only did it kick ass, but it is seriously and always underrated and underappreciated.

 

 

THE REPLACEMENT KILLERS

[MDC 5,877]

Since were on the subject, if you his like action movies do yourself a favor and watch THE RAID: REDEMPTION. It's subtitled but don't worry, there's not much story. This movie is awesome.

Is Smokey and the Bandit considered an action movie?

 

If so, it's def on my Mountain too.

No, but the Flying Nun in that movie was major fockable. GDamn she was tiny spinner hot.

[Reality 2,710]

A lot of good ones listed so I won't repeat those.

 

Where does Man on Fire land in the genre talks? If that movie is on I'm watching it.

 

I really enjoy the John Wick's as well.

Great call on Man on Fire.

 

Actual conversation between the wife and I just last week;

 

"You're watching Creasy again?"

"I'm watching Creasy again."

[Electric Mayhem 35]

You really have to lock down what can be included as 'Action'.

 

Depending on classifications, I would also throw in for consideration:

 

The Professional

Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid

The 5th Element

Independence Day

I've never seen it; need to put that near the front of the "wife is out somewhere" movie queue.

Watch it with her, she'll enjoy it.

 

Such a great movie.

My wife likes it a lot actually. She was just busting my balls because we had just watched it not long ago.

I assumed westerns were off the table.

[Electric Mayhem 35]

 

I assumed westerns were off the table.

I guess - but 'Action-y' westerns?

 

I would also put up there Silverado. One of my favourite movies across all classifications.

[cbfalcon 824]

Dude - She was 12 when she shot that. And a young 12 at that.

 

Damn man....

 

uck, I feel sick.

I wasn't lusting after Jenny Matrix...But when you watch Commando, you are reminded that an all time great ass grab in film history is only 11 years after this. It's a reference point.

Love Silverado.

 

The Long Riders would be another actiony western.

[cbfalcon 824]

I concede I shouldn't have listed Rock IV. It's not an "Action" movie. But neither are movies like Star Wars (SciFi), Raiders (Adventure), Private Ryan (War), The Dark Knight (Comic), etc...........Action movies are defined by a a hero beating the helll out of and/or killing way more guys than he should be able to kill by his/herself, and doing so in an extremely loud manner (shootouts, explosions, karate kicks, etc.....as opposed to poisoning them or something unspectacular).

 

As thread creator, Bunny needs to reign this thing in and set some boundaries. Otherwise we risk getting so far off track that we never successfully and definitively answer the question at hand...that being "What 4 films belong on the ACTION movie Mt. Rushmore?"

[Kopy 489]

Anything Jason Statham is in.

Hashtag man crush!!!

[TD Ryan2 314]

action movie (to me) refers to Stallone, Schwarzenegger, Van Damme, Segal... they are the 4 "Action Movie" stars that would be on the Mt.

 

I kinda feel like you just have to pick one best movie from each of them and then you have Action Movie Rushmore

 

 

a bit flawed? sure... Die Hard, Martrix and probably some Jackie Chan deserves mention.

[vuduchile 1,940]

Action

 

Die Hard

Dirty Dozen

Dirty Harry

Terminator 2

 

 

Adventure

 

Raiders

Star Wars

Back to the Future

Jaws

[giraldi02 470]

Not on the mountain, but I focking love Kiss of the Dragon

[vuduchile 1,940]

 

I assumed westerns were off the table.

Yeah.

 

Westerns should be a separate Rushmore.

[wiffleball 4,631]

Segal?

 

Jeesus.
