Action Movies

[Gene_SC]

Anyone seen any good action movies lately?

[dave2288]

the new marvel movies out are pretty good...and lots of ppl liked dc's newest batman movie...what kind of action?  (example:if you like cowboy style movies, then maybe not these, lol)

[Gene_SC]

My tastes vary widely with action movies. A bit of sci fi, espionage, who done it, etc. are my favorites. Although it would be cool if they would release another good cowboy movie.. Clint Eastwood is to old now to be a real bad a@#...

I agree that Clint made the best cowboy flicks. But like you said....He's a little on the old side. The newer ones aren't that great. 3:10 to Yuma is okaaaaay, so are a couple others. But not good enough to stick in my mind.

The Dark Knight is a good flick, so are Iron Man, The Hulk, Hancock, Tropic Thunder (more of an Action/Comedy)

Death Race is a remake, but actually a REALLY good one! "Babylon AD" is a Sci-Fi/Action Flick, and another good one.

The "Transporter" series is pretty good too. Comming out next month is yet another remake (supposedly pretty good too!) is "The day the Earth Stood Still"
If you haven't seen it, then the remake of "War of the Worlds" with Tom Cruise is another one of my favorites.

"Valkyrie" with Tom Cruise is also REALLY good! I saw a 35 minute pre-release teaser with some friends of mine. It's about a group of German Officers that plot to assassinate Hitler.

I'm a big shootum up western and war guy movie watcher oh and outdoor survival type movies. Gene if you haven't seen "Into the wild" check it out. It's based on a true story , very good I thought. A oldie but still my favorite is " Jeremiah Johnson" , I've about worn out the DVD hehehe. That movie make me want to sell all except for my shooter's, grab the little lady and head for the hill's. I told her we'll end up living up there sooner or later hehehe. Ed

I recently saw the film "Shooter", I enjoyed it very much although being an avid Shooter/Hunter I picked it apart so to speak, but it's still worth a view. In fact if you have not seen it I highly recommend it.

And if that doesn't work do as I do every year or so and resort back to "Lonesome Dove"........my favorite of all times, following in a close second is the classic "Outlaw Jose Wales".........Oh and "Tombstone"........I'm ya huckleberry!

[dave2288]

that is an AWESOME movie!  i love shooter!  but yea, there are things that are incorrect with it(like, he ejected the casing after the shot...how did it magically end up in the gun again, if he removed the firing pin??)

[airgun/cuz]

One of my favorites in the past few years is definitely,,,,,TROY,,,,,,,,Great flick

[dave2288]

that was good...i really liked 300 also.

[Jaymo]

The last Rambo movie that came out this year was really good, too. MUCH better than the old Rambo movies.

[airgun/cuz]

Another really good one was,,,,,KINGDOM OF HEAVEN,,,

[tjk]

I enjoy all types of movies, but I would have to say my top two are "Lonesome Dove" (the whole movie series,...Streets of Laredo is way cool!!! ) and of course, "The Wizard of Oz"!!! But not nessesarily in that order!!! The Clint Eastwood "spaghetti westerns' are a close third!!!LOL's tk

For Sci-Fi there's Contact and Sphere, they will keep you thinkin

And if you can find FlashPoint with Kris Kristofferson and Treat Williams, thay's a GOODIN !

And The Glimmerman with Steven Seagal, will definitely keep your attention

And Shooter and Live Free/ Die Hard, look just fine to me ya just have to watch it all the time.

Hope this helps you pass the nights, it does me !
