I watched Broken Arrow recently and it got me in the mood for some 90's action films. Everything now seems to rely on rubish computer effects too much and I want something a little older before the CGI took off. Stuff like Broken Arrow, The Rock, Face/Off. Anyone got any recomendations?

You can't go far wrong with the Die Hard films (reference to dead man with a .... bulge) and the legendary Rambo trilogy

Both are legendary, last quite a bit and have your usual amusing assides mixed with bad-ass villians and anti-heroes.

They wrote the book on action films basically

Jaws is also quite action packed if somewhat behind our time in terms of SFX

And if you get bored of just watching, buy Metal Gear Solid 3.

I believe he stopped posting here around about the time I posted a message from a Rabbi confirming the impossibility of being a Jewish Christian...

The bit when one of the main characters seems to be mortally wounded and then 60 seconds later is back as if nothing happened is bizarre.

Perhaps something blocked the bullet and I missed it (you know, the old lucky lighter/badge etc)?

Completly forgot about Hard Boiled. The bit in the hospital where they're flying through windows and jumping on trolleys shooting each other is insane.

The Killer and Bullet in the Head are excellent as well.
