    No particular order past the #1 spot.

    Predator
    Die Hard
    Die Hard With a vengeance
    Terminator
    T2
    Mad Max Road Warrior
    Commando
    Blood Sport
    Matrix
    The Running Man

    I left off anything that was, or had somewhat of a historical background, e.g. Black Hawk Down, A Bridge too Far, Saving Pricate Ryan, Braveheart). I also left off action adventure movies,e.g.. goonies, Indiana Jones

I WILL be doing a whole series of these top tens of different genres and probably eventually really specific, odd criteria (i.e. sweatiest movie or weird stuff like that lol) as well as TV shows and most anticipated of the year, best of the year, and so on and so forth. Hell we can start having CF Oscars :) anyway were gonna have some fun with it

    Santo, el enmascarado de plata

    but particularly:
    El Santo Contra Las Momias (de Guanajuato).

    ULTIMATE ACTION. Endless fights, crime-fighting, car-chases, wrestling. THE BEST of his times! R.I.P. El Santo :eek:

    I think 'this has to be on everyone's list' replies are typically lame, but this is one of the few, if only, times I'll say it.

    I don't know how anyone who's watched Hard Boiled does not include it in their top 10. I simply cannot comprehend it.
