Isnt T2 sci fi? And if you include T2 but not Aliens?

Hmmm my list in no particular order

Lethal Weapon
Die Hard 1,2
The Rock
Rambo series
Predator
The Last Boyscout
Cliffhanger
Speed
Bad Boys
Raiders of the Lost Ark
Aliens
T2
Gladiator
Bourne

I love Alien and even Alien 3 but.. not enough action to put them as pure action movies

yeah, i would never consider alien an action movie, it is a suspence, scifi, and a masterpiece

What? You put Predators in there but not Predator i think that's still the best one...

[–] moviehawg59 11 years ago

Sorry ... I meant the "Predator series" of movies! You are correct ... PREDATOR was FANTASTIC!

TERMINATOR 2 (the high point of effects till gollum came along)

ALIENS (sci fi with hurt locker suspense)

THE ENFORCER (the best dirty harry sequel)

TAKEN (reinvented neeson)

THE LAST BOY SCOUT (bruce willis best work on screen)

DIE HARD (rickman beats heath joker and vader any day)
