Best Action Flick Marathon Ever

Started by Drew Tatusko · 10 months ago

So in response to calls of heresy from my critic due to the assertion that Berry Gordy’s (Gordy Berry is the Motown guy, so I have doubts as to the guy’s real name here) The Last Dragon smelling of cheese in these latter days, I offer up the following.  I will no ... Continue reading »

  • Drew,

    A couple of things in response.

    (1) I did not show a lack of imagination; only appreciation for great movie franchises. ;)

    (2) You said: "I could watch the entire Die Hard series back-to-back with no problem. Best action movie franchise ever. Hands down."

    Well hallelujah! At least you got one thing right! ;)

    (2) When you listed Collateral (Tom Cruise), I thought you meant Collateral Damage (Arnold Schwarzenegger). I almost cursed out loud! :-P

    (3) Braveheart is the greatest movie ever and in a class all its own. I don't know that it fits a category like "action flick." Perhaps "awesome flick" is more appropriate.

    (4) Good call with Batman Begins, I forgot to include that on my list (to which I would add the original Batman and Batman Returns).

    (5) Some sci-fi flicks cross over into the action genre, so The Matrix and Alien counts (so would Predator which is also an awesome movie!).

    I could say much more but I will cut it off at the number of grace. :)
  • Collateral Damage was horrible! I never finished it.

    I agree with the Braveheart assessment. Much like the Godfather. They are all standalone (which is why Godfather 1 and 2 are not here).

    I can go with Predator. I liked it. Maybe a marathon for Sci-fi/thrillers though? I would actually include Running Man or Total Recall there. They were based on decent books at least.
  • Yeah, I enjoyed both of those,Total Recall more than Running Man (but that for a perverted reason, as I was not saved when I saw either) -- I'm sure you can figure out what that is. ;)
  • What about this pic isn't romantic?
  • Ripley's it's momma. Heartwarming. :'(
