Without further adieu... It's ado, not adieu. Shouldn't you be in school or something? Everything you post looks like it's written by a 7th grader.

So there were no great action movies before 1980?

This was a war movie; however, war = action.
One of the BEST and still enjoy watching after these many years.
“Where Eagles Dare”

Fun fact.. “New Jersey sized dumps” are actually the same size, shape and even name as New Jersey.

The Terminator gets my vote for #1.
That pulsing soundtrack and the relentless pursuit by the CSM-101 left me drained when I saw it in the theater way back when...1984? I haven't seen anything like it since.

“Where Eagles Dare”I always get a chuckle out of that one. The lead, Richard Burton, is a Brit. His character is a Brit. They both speak like Brits. Yet he was sent on a mission to infiltrate a German fortress to liberate an Allied general.
Yet at no point does Burton speak with anything but a Brit accent. Even when he is on the phone speaking with a German general trying to prove/validate his false identity.
"I'm Richard Buuuuurton, damn you. I've done Shakespeare for the Queen and I'll play this part as I damned well please."

“Heat” certainly had the best gun fight. “Casino” is a classic and Devo’s version of “Satisfaction” always makes me smile.

Yes! And they are very well organized in sections with cute little names like "Elizabeth", "Asbury Park", "Neptune" and "Jersey City"

And, one of my favorites of all time: Collateral with Tom Cruise. 2004
A very well done movie where he plays a contract killer on a big mission is LA and Jamie Fox is a cab driver.
Dont miss this one.
