^^ will do...

Body Of Lies was BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD!!!!! if you thought Syriana was good...then man oh man.... Leonardo and Crowe fit right in!!! To me was more realistic than Syriana...and highligthed the ueslessnes that the US is in the MIddle East..t.hey really dont know their ass from their elbo when it comes to "on the street" intel.

ALL TEN!!

Best gun fight i've seen in a while as well. Kilmer KILLED them with that "balls to the wall" shooting...(true in real life there's no way a person cud shoot like that one handed...but still...)

if yu havent seen it....download and take in some good cineatography (sp).

one of my favorites rassey, almost real and di nero and pacino oh well

For any action movie fan it's critical that you get familiar with Mr. Woo... I recommend these as they are his best work.

Hard Boiled (imo his best movie !)
The Killer
A Better Tomorrow
A Better Tomorrow II
Face Off

I also highly recommend Reservoir Dogs....it is one of the best (if not the best) Quentin Tarantino flicks. On the same level as pulp fiction !!!

...and strangely tho...I don't think anyone mentioned Terminator 2: Judgment Day.
whats up with that ?!?!

its only one of the best action movies ever made ! Saw it in high def the other day and it still looks awesome !!!

There's also Con Air, The Rock, Speed, True Lies (the set piece with the bridge still impresses me to this day), Aliens etc...

...and yes..I do think late 80s to mid 90s were the best era of action movies !

oh an heat was classic !!!

the second one in that triolgy was best...the fight with the "Parkour" guy was epic! i think that re-defined close shot hand to hand combat.
