Rambo
If you are looking for a classic action movie with a good running story line throughout the series, then this is the film for you. Sylvester Stallone plays an army war veteran through these series of movies. He is brilliant in each film and acts very well and there is plenty of action throughout the films.
Predator
This is one of the best action movies of all time. An alien from outer space lands in the jungle of Vietnam where Arnie and his platoon land. Arnie leads his platoon into action against this alien creature. If you have not seen this legendary film then you have to watch as soon as possible. Its brilliant.
Terminator
Another Arnie movie that he excels in. Arnie is a robot from the future that travels back in time to kill a woman who will give birth to a leader of a rebel force from the future where robots rule the world. The second movie of this series of films is just as good and Arnie is back to protect a future rebel leader who is called Jon Connor, the child that he was trying to kill in the first movie.
Heat
This film has everything....great cast of actors, brilliant script and excellent action scenes. It was the first movie that Robert De Niro and Al Pacino ever spent within the same film scene.
Con Air
Nicholas Cage plays an ex-soldier who ends up killing a thug who harasses both he and his wife. As a result he goes to one of America's toughest prisons and then shares a flight home with a number of dangerous prisoners upon his release. The plane is subsequently high jacked.
Die Hard
The first of these series of movies was set at Christmas and it would definitely be classed as a legendary movie! Bruce Willis plays John Mc Clain who is a cop with a bad attitude. Some brilliant action scenes in this film as well as legendary one liners.
Under Siege
If you like Steven Seagal then this is the movie for you. It also stars Tommy Lee Jones and Gary Busy. It's a legendary film.
Point Break
If you have not seen this legendary movie yet then you should buy it or rent it from your local video shop!! The main actors within the film are Keanu Reeves, Patrick Swayze and Gary Busey. Keanu Reeves is a rookie cop who is trying to track down a group of bank robbers who have robbed a number of banks wearing masks of ex-American presidents. I have to admit I was never a huge fan of Patrick Swayze due to him being associated with Dirty Dancing but he is brilliant in this film and really pulls off an amazing performance as Bodhi, who is a thrill seeking surfer.
Robin Hood Prince of Thieves
This film has a great cast of actors. The actor line-up includes Kevin Costner, Morgan Freeman, Alan Rickman, Christian Slater, Sean Connery and a number of other great actors. This film is one of those that you can watch over and over again then still love it. It has a lot of action throughout the film. The script for the film is legendary.

The Last of the Mohicans
This film is a classic, which stars Daniel Day Lewis in the lead role. It is set during the French-Indian War when the French and the English were battling for control of North America. In the middle of all of this are three men who are passing through it who are a Mohican man, his son and his adopted white son (Daniel Day Lewis). The three men end up helping an English Generals’ two daughters after rebels who are allied with the French try to attack them. There is plenty of action throughout this film and the fight scene in the woods near the start of the film is legendary. The music throughout the film is really good and is set perfectly throughout the fight scenes. The director is the legendary Michael Mann.
Banlieue 13
This is a French movie, which is set in the suburbs of Paris in 2010. The opening scene to the movie is legendary as the main actor of the movie is running from a number of gang members who are after him. The main character leaps from one building to the next and also bounces from wall to wall to avoid the gang members. The music throughout the movie is legendary too. I watched this movie in French and it didn’t bother me at all, as the action scenes are amazing. If you haven’t seen this movie yet then watch it today. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed.
