Action Movies I Like:

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
Mononoke Hime (Princess Mononoke)
Ghost In The Shell
Shaolin Soccer (HILARIOUS!)
Rumble In The Bronx
Goldeneye
Silence Of The Lambs

Martial arts and/or explosions. Those are what make a movie great. *grin*

Ok, I need some GOOD action movies for my DVD collection.
Here's some movies that I liked:

Indiana Jones (Don't have any yet)
T2 (Don't have yet... Is T2 Extreme Ed. worth getting? I've seen it at DDD for $15) Is T1 any good? I've never seen it.
True Lies (Don't Have)

Ronin (Have)
Predator (Have)
The Matrix (Have)
Rush hour 1 and 2 (Have)

I have enough artsy/thinking movies so I think I need an equal amount of action to balance my diet. Humorous action movies (with great one liners) are also great if you guys know any. Don't let me (and possibly others) down! ;) :)

EDIT: Blah
T1 is awesome, it's a groundbreaking true sci-fi movie... less action than the second, but you'll understand the concepts much better by seeing the first one.
(hint: pay attention to what sarah connor is thinking in the last scene of the movie)
