morbs, ilx

OK I have never seen The Hidden, but major props to any movie that dares to go with the plate glass window gag AFTER the car has already run over a guy in a wheelchair. They should have finished off with a fruit cart.

btw morbs: 5 movies pre-1971 today

I can do this (and including 1971 here)...

Jason And The Argonauts
Where Eagles Dare
Le Mans
Shaft
The Horsemen

I really enjoyed the super bowl movies they played during timeouts of the game

I also really like that movie where the popcorn and candies walk around and sing about going to the movies

was Death Race 2000 nommed btw? because its awesome.

also guys
this is another ILX poll where Space Jam could show up as the surprise winner, think abt it

what about the movie ("music video") for Motley Crue's Kickstart My Heart, that shit will knock your dick in the dirt

was Death Race 2000 nommed btw? because its awesome.

Yes! Here are the noms:

BEST ACTION FILMS OF ALL TIME VOTING THREAD (VOTING CLOSES FRIDAY FEBRUARY 10)

nooooooooooo i would have given dr2k so many first place points

can i still vote

haha we should do our own "whoops didn't vote, here are the REAL results" poll

not finished reading the thread but had to say

COMMANDO SHOULD BE TOP FIVE YOU CHARLATANS WTF THIS BETTER BE A FUCKING AWESOME LIST TO HAVE IT SO LOW

#1 is going to be "Spirited Away"

a hoy hoy otm, did that dude have the top of his head sliced off for naught?

he killed all the bullies that took his child

Most of the ones I haven't seen don't seem to be on instant view except for Le Femme Nikita. Should I watch that tonight or Election which, while I don't think it's placed yet, you guys seem to love?

in keeping with the spirit of the thread, I recommend Le Femme Nikita followed immediately by Point of No Return

o you terrible people are going to get 300 into this countdown arent you

god I hope so, that would be so lol

THIS. IS. SPARTA! *slo-mo* *music* *blood* *limbs*

it does at least have a load of action in it

so presumably won't place as high as ET

terminator 2 is basically et with more guns

So is Starman. Which should make it #1.

Oh, earlier when I said that The Fifth Element was the movie I was least excited about revisiting? Well, I actually liked that movie okay so my real answer is Sin City why because fuck that movie pretty much.

election & election 2

In retrospect, I should have voted for 300 and given it 50 points.

election, then marinate on it for a couple days w/a thousand yd stare b/c of the last five minutes, then election 2.

In retrospect, I should have voted for 300 Hobo with a Shotgun and given it 50 points.

fixed

shakey otm

Ha, I totally didn't vote for this poll, but mostly because I thought the nom list was too long. Too long, didn't vote. If there were a do-over, I would definitely do.

If I *had* voted all my votes would be for Mad Max, fyi

those weren't shown in theaters, Matt Fucking Asstrong

^still going!

like a Terminator

btw morbs: 5 movies pre-1971 today

ok, you got me. I never thought I'd see Kurosawa and Melville keeping company with John McTiernan and hallowed Commando auteur Mark L. Lester.

*breaks into heaving sobs*

Matt Fucking Asstrong

i knew you guys would be drawn to that one

like a moth to the flame, so drawn is the fucking to the asstrong

i like my ass like i like my coffee

hot, black and percolatin'?

2 out of 3 ain't bad

morbs what should the 74-39 best action films of all time look like

i am really happy with the results so far. like i didnt vote for speed because its been so long since ive seen it that i feel everything i remember about it comes from sitcom parodies of it rather than the movie itself but even if speed 2 made this list id be like 'yep, thats got a boat chase p sweet' i just cant hate any of these movies

i am torn by h4a's comments on steve mcqueen. i can see his institutional cool coming across as lame but i mean:
