I generally like to consider myself a fairly sophisticated consumer of pop culture, but lately I've been enjoying some straight-up action movies. Back in the day, it seems, the modern requiem that any action movie must be stupider than my 8th grade science teacher didn't apply quite so much. I would nominate the following as being thoroughly awesome:
The Fugitive, Die Hard, First Blood, Lethal Weapon. I'm sure that there are some more great ones out there too, but any additional titles have momentarily escaped me. Anyway, I practically dare you watch any of those without experiencing vivid daydreams for the following week featuring yourself defenestrating Alan Rickman (actually, that one's sorta
Die Hard specific). That's not to say, however, that there aren't recent action movies that are anything besides incredibly badass:
Pulp Fiction and
Sin City come to mind.
