is it

STEALTH

lol xps

btw the The Hidden/Funny Games joke was pretty bad, guys

lol the movies i have not seen on this list

#72 VANISHING POINT
#71 DIRTY HARRY
#67 (TIE) BRANDED TO KILL
#66 ASSAULT ON PRECINCT 13
#52 GET CARTER
#47 THE WILD BUNCH
#46 THE GREAT ESCAPE
#39 LE SAMOURAI

I really liked IB. Better than DP I think but they're pretty different movies so it's tough to compare.

i mean STEALTH is not very good but its mentalism is gung ho and hilarious which is more than can be said for some of the o_O movies on this list

xxp

OMG WATCH DIRTY HARRY FIRST CHANCE U GET

Get Carter too but it's not as urgent

im gonna watch them all swear plz dont me mad at me everyone its not my fault

nah there are things i haven't seen that i didn't vote for that i know i wd have voted for if i'd seen them, also i shd've rewatched some stuff i hadn't seen for a long time

i rescreened collateral yesterday

i watched to live and die in LA for the first time last nite-- wish i had done so before making my ballot

I watched Akira yesterday, but didn't have the heart to mention that there's a shitload of action throughout the film

friendship in action

The Wild Bunch deserves a better defense than given on this thread so far. really changed the way I thought about/watched films in general and westerns in particular.

live n die in la is great, similar vibe to the hidden but no thrash aliens

also while we're updating this thread with how it affected our daily lives:

i thought about the akira cartoon ade posted while i was driving home from work, about 8 hours after i had first seen it, and laughed out loud

i can't remember if i've ever seen The Hidden 2 or not, i shd put that right

for cartoon fans can i point out there's a load of violent action in the Road Runner series

without the twee bullshit

lol yeah this happens to me sometimes

those arent movies, NV!

if id of voted i wouldve voted for 'the hidden' most def

fucken hell guys The Hidden cd've placed if y'all had got yr shit together

yeah H4Ass i know they aren't movies i am just pissy about Akira being on this list at all

it belongs there more than T5E imo

well yeah but i didn't vote that either :D

when i first saw this thread i thought to myself 'i wouldve voted for the hidden' true story

tb totally honest The Hidden loses a bit of steam and the budget obviously didn't allow for the whole thing to have the total owning intensity of the first 15 minutes but it's still conceptually perfect

for you poor rubes who've never seen it

I like Tarantino a lot, but the dialogue really detracts imho

Fixed

One of the few moments I loved in IB: when dude pulls out the ridiculous pipe.

for cartoon fans can i point out there's a load of violent action in the Road Runner series

those arent movies, NV!

they sure as fuck are/were.

"shorts" as opposed to "movies"

keeping up with this thread is hard! I need to strap myself into this bomb-bus, clearly

dr. morbius schools us on action films yet again

shorts as opposed to features

One A.M. is just as much a "movie" as Sex & The City 2, ugh

I have never seen Fifth Element or Dirty Harry. I will correct the latter this weekend, but I dont think I care about 5E

blowing my mind here, morbs

I know you guys have already been to school with Dan Kois

i also wouldve def voted for scott pilgrim so ¯\(°_o)/¯

yeah im positive i dont care abt 5th element

btw morbs: 5 movies pre-1971 today

the hidden owns throughout u savage

i'm pretty sure i've never seen 5th element because i always get it memes mixed up with run lola run and tank girl

FTW, regardless: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hz65AOjabtM

all i remember about The Fifth Element is finding Chris Tucker really annoying

you are all horrible monsters

xp

i am not denying the owningness of the hidden just saying they could've destroyed more cars maybe instead of that bit when kyle mclachlang gets all sad cos he has no family

oh god that wile e. bit

they sure as fuck are/were.
