Best action film ever made?

Im still convinced after all these years that Hardboiled by john woo is the best actioner ever, nothing for me has ever come close. Whats your fave?

Aliens or Raiders of the Lost Ark

I love that sort of no-nonsense, silly action movie.

T2 without a shadow of doubt

i thought Die Hard when i saw the thread title, but thats the one that springs to mind - im sure there is better out tehre though.

and i agree films like Commando rock

"let of some steam"

or True Lies stylee... "You're Fired"

Bah! I really wanna watch this, so I bought it from Hmv the other day only to find no subtitles!! It even says "English Subtitles" on the back! Its got dubs but I just can't watch them they drive me insane.

So until I've watched that, I'll have to say either Terminator 2 or Die Hard.

But no, not homogay at all.

Rocky!

It's a bit of a toughie to choose just one but I think my best actioner of all time is John Woo's A Better Tomorrow

Simply the best of the Heroic Bloodshed movies IMO

Fantastic story, brilliant directing & some of the best gunplay I have ever seen.

It's very closely followed by Hard Boiled & God of Gamblers.
