>tfw I can't even remember watching any action movies in my childhood
Fuck, the closest thing I had was...I dunno, Star Wars episode 3?

I'm 18 now and trying to catch up on things I've missed. I fucking love watching action now, but as a kid I didn't see much at all.

Side note: Here's the B-Roll for Edge Of Tomorrow. Surprising how many practicals were used in this.

Cyborg
The first terminator movie
They live
Aliens
Rambo 3

Darkman. I don't care what anyone else says. This is one of both Liam Neeson's and Sam Raimi's best movies.

This movie still rocks my socks. Pretty much destroys every other action movie of the 90s for me, and there's a ton of great stuff.

verhoevens films always have based soundtracks and very nice violence and gore.

A couple of years back, Stallone cited 1989 Batman as the beginning of the end for action heroes.
