also shouldn't it be the top 77 action movies

no

the jazz zinger (s1ocki), Monday, 13 February 2012 20:52 (fourteen years ago)

you've been gone for a while, old man

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s1tAYmMjLdY (dayo), Monday, 13 February 2012 20:53 (fourteen years ago)

not long enough to forget that this ain't 77 and never damn was

the jazz zinger (s1ocki), Monday, 13 February 2012 20:56 (fourteen years ago)

maybe omar's heart will blow up if he doesn't drive a muscle car up an escalator and then have some public intercourse, but surely he could do that while posting form zing

You're an impatient lot. I think it's nice when the reveal threads take a while so people can talk about them. When they're posted too quickly it's all a blur and over too quickly and then I get sad.

wolf kabob (ENBB), Monday, 13 February 2012 21:07 (fourteen years ago)

Hthe fun of anticipation is the stimulation that causes the feeling of impatience.

beware of greeks bearing petrol bombs (darraghmac), Monday, 13 February 2012 21:14 (fourteen years ago)

yeah we established in the noms thread that shots of the lead just sort of wandering about doing mundane stuff helped make 70s action films great, & this is the thread equivalent.

woof, Monday, 13 February 2012 21:20 (fourteen years ago)

wandering around doing mundane stuff to random jazz horn riffs

randomly coming across the original Assault on Precinct 13 on late-night TV was like being ambushed

demolition with discretion (m coleman), Monday, 13 February 2012 21:53 (fourteen years ago)

same but with They Live - easily the most significant running-across-a-random-movie-on-tv experience of my childhood

RudolfHitlerFtw (Hungry4Ass), Monday, 13 February 2012 21:54 (fourteen years ago)

for me it was probably the flesh eaters. or don't look in the basement. or children shouldn't play with dead things.

scott seward, Monday, 13 February 2012 21:57 (fourteen years ago)

'duel' was always on iirc

i hope #1 is 'inglourious basterds'

am0n, Monday, 13 February 2012 22:38 (fourteen years ago)

I just know omar is going to post the rest as soon as I leave the office, dammit.

one little aioli (Laurel), Monday, 13 February 2012 22:42 (fourteen years ago)

unfortunately the rest will have to wait until tomorrow, i'm stuck in meetings all day and i'd hate to have my boss glance over and see me posting a still for *~SPOILER ALERT~* an action movie

omar little, Monday, 13 February 2012 22:58 (fourteen years ago)

could probably get a good fight scene out of it tho

Steamtable Willie (WmC), Monday, 13 February 2012 23:00 (fourteen years ago)

thanks omar!!

by only beef tho is that you didn't bump the nominations thread w/ a link to this one so i missed all the fun today :(

sorry gr80. i was being shot at, so i was pinned down in this thread and couldn't get over to the other one to bump it.

omar little, Monday, 13 February 2012 23:33 (fourteen years ago)

results will commence again tomorrow morning at 7 AM PDT, 10 AM eastern. going to try to get 20 films out before i head to work, to catch up to the pace.

omar little, Monday, 13 February 2012 23:34 (fourteen years ago)

^^ best shot in the movie. Just watched this the other night and it really stood out as a spectacular shot.

Matt Armstrong, Tuesday, 14 February 2012 00:05 (fourteen years ago)

I remember going to Gatorland in Florida, where they claimed they trained/sourced the alligators used in this movie.

Shit...voted in the nominating poll but not the actual one.

Temple of Doom is only the third best of the 80s Indys but still pretty damn good. Took me quite a long time to warm to, though. Didn't really get it til I started to see it as the "disreputable" Raiders. Like a tribute to those 40s serials with the racism and low taste in tact.

The Hurt Locker is awesome and definitely not Oscar bait. Every now and then the academy just gets it right.

Die Hard With a Vengeance is simply a joy. The ultimate ridiculous popcorn action flick. Really, only Raiders keeps it rom bing my fave action flick of all time.

I really need to finally see Branded To Kill and Con Air.
