Shoot Em Up. Because none of these others has a single carrot killing.

For Your Eyes Only - the car chase with Bond in the Citroen 2CV car was great.

The dance by Capt Eddington’s wife near the beginning was something else.

She was a very bad girl,

Pretty cheesy effects but a good depiction of naval warfare.

The Sand Pebbles, Flight of the Phoenix (both 1966)

The original Flight of the Phoenix was great; the remake not so much.

DeNiro is slime but “Ronin” is definitely up there

Two - count ‘em, two - great car chases.

Jean Reno is one of my favorite actors.

Some great lines, action sequences and gags, like when they show the same stock footage of a car going off a cliff and exploding in two different scenes.

Best war movie I’ve seen in years is “Brest Fortress”.

Is that the one with Adrienne Barbeau?

Ronin.

Outstanding movie. Great cast. Frankenheimer. Jean Reno.

Hard to beat.

I just read that they’re going to do a remake of Enter the Dragon.

Ugh!

I do agree with your verdict on "The Brest Fortress" though ...

...but to quote Steve Martin,"It's like they have a different word for everything!" (without the subtitles) ...

Can’t be done.

Not only is there not an actor as fast as Bruce Lee, there is nobody in film right now like Jim Kelly. Man, he came right out of a comic book. (Or Luke Cage was based on him)

I cannot watch anything with that poofter Clooney in it. Nicole Kidman, however.
