Seriously speaking...the 80s was the decade for Action. We're never going to pop out with as much stuff like that ever. I mean we had fucking icons for the genre. Yes, none of them will ever be remembered beyond being part of the genre for the most part.
I highly doubt this decade is worse than the 80s.

I miss Arnie, but his last few flicks were getting boring..i.e. Eraser and Last Action Hero. True Lies was his last great actioner, but even that was a bit drawn out by the end. My personal favorites are the super corny Arnolds - Commando, Red Heat, Raw Deal. Those I can watch anytime. Especially Raw Deal, just a classic. Joseph P. Brenner. Don't ask what the P stands for.

I still want True Lies on bluray, I have been watching Terminator 2 recently. I forgot how good a movie it really is. I think Arnold is too old now for the action movie genre, But Stallone is still around, and Jason Staham fits the bill pretty good for mindless action flicks.

I still enjoy quite a few 80's movies despite not liking the decade in general.
Ah-nuld's movies were better (and more violent) back in the 80's. I kinda miss that silly action movie excessive violence.
