I've enjoyed the "RED" film series. A bit lighter than some action flicks, but entertaining.

Also, "First Blood" probably belongs on the list. The sequels are debatable.

Saving Private Ryan. I like my action to be based on reality.

Glad to see Raiders #1, but does Star Wars (A New Hope) not count as an action movie? Or has the crapstorm of recent years driven it downward in fans’ estimation?

In Harm’s Way (1965). Very racy for a John Wayne movie.

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

If you want action but no real substance I suggest COMMANDO CODY AND THE RADAR MEN FROM THE MOON, or THE PERILS OF NOYOKA. It is from these movie serials came the idea for Indiana Jones and so forth.

In good action movies, I still prefer movies like GUNS OF NAVARONE and other such movies. They at least have some plot that holds the movies together.
