I have noticed the 'Sideline' skewing a bit serious lately and thought I'd put in a mindless topic to follow.
I'd pick T2-Judgement Day. I watched it recently and couldn't believe how good it was, even today. What action flicks from 80s / 90s do you like?
It's hard to pick just one. Die Hard is probably my number one though.

Die Hard is a good one. I can watch that one over and over
That's a tough one, and something I'd have to put more thought into. Die Hard is definitely a good choice.
Die Hard With Vengeance for me.
Die Hard has to be up there for sure. Bruce Willis in those movies was great.
Terminator
Terminator 2
Robo Cop
First Blood
Die Hard
I think those five are definitely up there when talking about the best from that era.
Big Trouble in Little China.
Predator is definitely up there. Probably one of the ultimate man movies.
THe only other movies that really belongs on a list of movies this elite are Road Warrior, and both Conan movies
Action movies were great in the 80s/90s, much better than what are offered these days, with few exceptions, at least imho.
I think it's mostly because the 80s/90s action stars were so much better then those considered action stars today, once again, with few exceptions.
Any of the Indiana Jones movies, Lethal Weapon, Die Hard's
Never really been a huge fan of action movies. But I'd have to go with The Matrix for this one.
True Lies and Lethal Weapon are go to movies for mindless entertainment. Die Hard is up there as well.
Predator - Just really cool gear in that movie. I mean, a triple laser sight? And a minigun?!?!?! How great is that?!?!
Die Hard - The beginning of the "every man" action movie. Still looks great.
T2 Judgement Day - What's better than one Terminator? Two! Now have 'em fight each other!
Conan the Barbarian - "He did not care anymore!" Man, what a great movie this is.
Big Trouble in Little China - It was a great lark at action movies seeing as how the "hero" was more talk than action. Good time had by all.
Empire Strikes Back - Still my favorite Star Wars movie. Just coulda put in a little bit of Leia in the bikini though.

Yes. Love True Lies.

It's almost like 3 movies in 1, and the run time is just about as long. Great flick.
