Some old favorites:

Cliffhanger- John Lithgow plays a detestable asshole, who I just wish I could get my hands on. :mad: That's to his credit; I love the guy in everything else.

Broken Arrow- No less than 3 helicopter explosions! :lol:

Legend of the Drunken Master- Nuff said.

I get the feeling "Kill Bill" will be high on my list of action films.

yup...me too...
At least...it BETTER be.
I'll be majorly pissed off it it sucks! (which it won't)

The Killer.. hands down..
Hard Boiled
A Better Tomorrow I and II (two is not a remake..it's a sequel.. but very similar)
The Die Hard Trilogy
The Matrix

Fist of Legend
Drunken Master II (the legend of drunken master)
Terminator II
El Mariachi, Desperado and Once Upon a Time in Mexico
Blade I & II

Saving Private Ryan was superb. You just have to see the landing on D-day

Terminator 2 and Enter the Dragon. Nothing else is close.
