Also,
Air Con
The Rock
Versus(zombies+highlander+japanese)
Equilibrium
Smokin' Aces
Boondock Saints
Hot Fuzz
Terminator 2
Rambo series
Desperado/Once upon a Time in Mexico
Keep in mind I have no idea if all these are in Netflix, they just seemed like glaring omissions
X's are next to what ive seen. Didnt like any of them except smokin aces.
Ive heard of Equilibrium, but i know nothing about it or who is in it.
Never heard of versus. But it sounds awesome.
Also there was a serious lack of John Woo cause im a serious John Woo hater.
Add John woo to the list of HATE.
Add the terminator movies to the list of Hate.
In fact, add all Arnold Schwarzenegger films that arent Predator and Red Sonia to that list.
Rambo... there is a series i liked. And saw. Damn.. cant believe i forgot Rambo. The new one was amazing.
Desperado and Once upon a time in Mexico... good movies? Any info about them?
I quite like Equilibrium. It has a bunch of really neat action scenes that are a mix of guns and martial arts, and Christian Bale before he was all famous.
Desperado/Once upon a time- are by Robert Rodriguez. If you're looking for straight action, Desperado will probably fit the bill better. Also, From Dusk till Dawn by Tarantino/Rodriguez is also pretty good.
As for other movies:
The Bourne Trilogy
Pitch Black
District 9
Fifth Element
Fight Club
Road Warrior
Stargate
Taken
Zombieland
Hudson Hawk
Big Trouble in Little China
Escape from New York
The Dollars Trilogy
La Femme Nikita
I enjoyed them. Solid action movies.
Thanks! ^_^
not a single movie on it will steer you wrong:

I'm skeptical of any list that includes a photo of a speedo-bound JCVD in the first two paragraphs (but seriously, good suggestions)
I will add to the other listed movies here:
Heat
Leon (The Professional)
Blade Runner
Tombstone
Payback
Seven
Alien/Aliens
Indiana Jones and Raiders/Temple/Last Crusade
The Man With No Name series (The Good, The Bad &, The Ugly, etc)
pretty much anything directed by Akira Kurosawa
