Nothing quite like a good 90 minutes of well-choreographed violence, nudge-wink one-liners and sharp witted bad guys...
Total Recall Aliens Predator Commando Demolition Man (old fave)

Oh man, Commando...ok???? It's classic from top to bottom, the camp, chainmail-clad miscast central bad guy topping it all off.

Robocop is great!
even Robocop 2 has some nice moments.
I quite liked Speed too.
Speed 2 had absolutely no nice moments. it was just evil.

If you like Arnold movies, make sure you check out "The Running Man." TONS of hilarious one-liners and good action to back them up.
The remake of "Shaft" with Samuel L Jackson is an amazing action movie and funny as hell too. Also obviously the Indiana Jones movies kick ass. And Fulltime Killer was a lot of fun also.

rambo1 2 & 3 all classic. The 2nd and 3rd are practically the same film, which in its self is hilarious. Stallone provides classic cheese

The Legend of Drunken Master (Jackie Chan) Jet Li - Once Upon a Time a Hero in China Jet Li - The Tai-Chi Masters Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon (alright movie not as good as the old Kung Fu flicks)
John Woo´s The Killer Zatoichi (2003) Hero (with Jet Li)
Asian movies are still the best even though when they go to the States all they do is crappy movies.

New York Pussy is a good "action" film.

Predator, man... that was awesome. I love any film that takes place in a jungle! The first Terminator was easily my favorite ''action'' flick, though... that scene where he takes on the whole police department is so convincing.
I also really like The Rock.

DJ Xammax, I agree, predator 2 deserves only head shaking. I mean what was that all about?
I few favourites of mine: Terminator 2, Eraser, Face Off, Predator, Platoon, Demolition Man, Desperado.
