I really like predator though. Predator and Terminator 1 are good runner-ups.

This. Robocop is probably the most complex and complete, but predator is probably the most exciting, and terminator has the best atmosphere and tension

Heat

only answer
some other really good ones, like The Raid, Mad Max Fury Road, Hard Boiled, 13 Assassins, LOTR Two Towers, Terminator 2, etc.... but Heat mops the floor with all of them

anyone who disagrees doesnt deserve to be here

Not best action movie of all time (Heat is)

But it IS the best CHRISTMAS movie of all time!

Predator is the most perfect description of an average action film.

Commando is, simply because everybody involved knows its ridiculous fun.

Does Heat even qualify as action film though? Compared to other movies here it barely has any action.

It's not a film, it's barely a flick.
>>
>>82317510
well, its equally thriller, but ultimately, its just a very simple action film. the story and characters are all sort of stock-elements that have been elevated through depth. but seeing how the film has the #1 best action scene ever, id say it definetly qualifies. a lot of these other suggested movies have different genre-elements as well
>>
>>82317181
Yup that's it. Anyone that says otherwise is a slack jawed faggot.

Thriller maybe, but there's fuck all action in it

Wrong.

dude it has the best action scene of all time

it just feels less cuz its 3 hours long. it has about as much action as robocop (maybe more, even)

>Shitty Gook version of Dredd
"No"
>>
>>82317675
This one is good.

But the sequel is way better.
>>
>>82317689
The heist shootout in Heat is indeed amazing but the entirety of Predator is like mainlining testosterone. I couldn't honestly say that Heat is the best overall action movie.
>>
>>82317779
My man
>>
>>82317689
I'm not saying it doesn't, I'm just saying it seems more like a thriller in my eyes. When I think action movie, I think of a movie who's plot revolves around the plot, whereas Heat's action is a by-product of the plot if you get my meaning
>>
>>82317825
when i think "best action movie" i dont think "has the most and the best action in it", i think "best movie that qualifies as an action-movie".

Heat is an actual, good movie. It has depth and interesting characters played by interesting actors. It is unpredictable in its action, causing genuine tension. Further, the action scenes (of which there arent THAT many, i know) are really well-directed, tense (as Michael Mann always accomplishes) and feel authentic, which.... how is Michael Mann the ONLY ONE who ever bothers making his action scenes feel authentic? it seems so obvious

anyway, my point is, i think Heat is the best action film because it has so much going on outside of just scenes of explosions, but everything is built in classical action movie archetypes

Predator, Hard Boiled, etc... all of these movies are great, of course, but not really from a more "mature" perspective. Heat is
>>
>>82317825
Predator first half is amazing, second half is dumb shit. It's not fun to watch Arnold and an alien sneak around each other, even if the final fight is pretty good.
>>
>>82317886
I understand what you mean entirely, but having the action be a by-product of the plot doesnt detract from it. I think the term "action movie" is a bit more broad, and can apply to more different kinds of movies. Apocalypto, for example, is definetly an action movie in my opinion (and one of the best ones ever) Further... i mean, the Lethal Weapon movies hardly have any action in them, but id say they qualify as well

>>82317181
Since everyone already agrees that Predator is the best film ever made, that automatically also makes it the best action film ever made.
It's also the best horror movie, best political thriller, best drama, and best romance (Dutch & Dillon, Mac & Blaine).

Its a tough decision, but Predator is one of those movies that I can watch over and over again without being over it.

its something thats pretty rare for me.

He also directed Die Hard.

Total Recall is better just because of the world building sci-fi element. The Running Man is definitely up there too but falls short because Arnie doesn't do enough shooting.

Not the one with the most seeds.
