    1990s Action Films Appreciation Thread

    Growing up, I had a favorite movie genre, '1990s Action Films'. It seemed as all of the films were very similar..

    1. Fast paced
    2. Action-packed
    3. Great music
    4. Funny scenes
    5. Drama/Thriller

    The type of movies with no crazy CGI or phenomenal director skills.. just a great plot with nice action


    My all-time favorite film:




    If you haven't seen this movie and want the epitome of '1990s action films', go watch it now. This movie has it all; a great score, awesome plot, brilliant cast, and some sweet action scenes. Even if you don't like Nic Cage, you will still like this movie. Sean Connery is hilarious as an Alcatraz tour guide per say and Ed Harris is amazing as the villain.



    Other Examples:


    Die Hard Series
    Bad Boys
    The Fugitive

    And the list goes on and on..



    This thread is for recommendations and appreciation of great 90's action films because I believe I'm probably not the only one that loves and misses this genre.

      Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and fuck the prom queen.

            Nic Cage was amazing in the 90's. When I saw this thread I immediately thought:

                  the rock was good
                  face off was good
                  die hard 2 was my fav of the series

                  but can 90s action films top 80 karate movies?

                  the rock < blood sport
                  faceoff < no retreat no surrender
                  throw in kickboxer and its a wrap.
