Ok, so here's yet another thread to help with the bordem of the off season. The title says it all, what movie gets your vote for best action movie of the 80's? There are many things you need to consider when picking a great action flick: people getting killed in new and unusual ways; cheesy dialogue; random boobies; cliche names; unintenitional comedy (a la Bill Simmons, who's really been slipping lately); and unbelievable endings. I'm sure there are plenty of other qualities that make an action movie great, it's just great to see how they are mixed and matched.

So, here are a few of my favorites for your consideration: The Terminator; Bloodsport; Big Trouble in Little China; Commando; Raiders of the Lost Ark; Preditor; The Running Man; basically just any Arnold flick; and so on...

My vote goes to Die Hard. It has everything you could want. A huge body count, bad German accents, an over the top plot, random boobies, the principal from The Breakfest Club (RIP buddy), and Carl from Family Matters. Fantastic. Plus, the dialogue and quotes are through the roof! "Welcome to the party!" And, Bruce Willis would have died in real life so many frickin' times that it's crazy, but NO, because he DIES HARD, see even the title is tied in somehow, and that's important in an action movie.

Well, I obviously have too much time on my hands. What time does the basketball game start?

and mods, I may need a vote once we get some more movies
