Best Action Movie of All-Time?
Prompted by the new Entertainment Weekly list that puts Die Hard (the original, the R rated ONE) at #1 (I don't have the full list handy).
It was funny listening to Bruce Willis on Access Hollywood last night gloss over the PG-13 issue by saying to Maria Menunos "Did you think that was a PG-13 movie?" and her response was a resounding "not at all".
He still says the full "Yippee..." line is in tact which is fine I guess, but I am let done by the whole rating thing and may not see as a result, but that is a whole other thread.
What do you think is the #1 of all-time?
I would have to agree with Die Hard absolutely!

Hard-Boiled (Being my international favorite) would be my 2nd runner-up.

One of my favorites is another JC in The Abyss. I would deem it as action, but the list did not include it. I just know I was on the edge of my seat and gasping 1st time I saw it.

I agree with Hard Boiled. And I give a nod to Ong Bak.

Die Hard is an easy #1 for me

You realize that they only picked Die Hard as #1 so they could tie that in with the article about the new Die Hard movie, right?
