Is T2 the magnum opus of the action genre?

And if not, what is? The original Die Hard is the only one even in the discussion IMO

Toss Rambo: First Blood Part II in there.
And Tango & Cash as an unappreciated darkhorse.

I would go with Die Hard, but It is really close.

Yes. T 1 was awesome but considering the big budget T2 had along with the groundbreaking CGI effects at the time, it's judgment day. Die Hard was another one that's pretty close.

I'd put True Lies in the discussion.

Those 2 are up there. Cameron had not yet lost his mind. As others have said, arguably Aliens could be in this list, as could the original Terminator.
It would certainly be difficult for a "fifth" film to find traction against Die Hard, Aliens, Terminator and Terminator 2.
Other great films that "almost" get into this discussion, but don't quite make it because they are both more and less than action movies - Heat, Collateral, The Matrix, Bladerunner (my favorite film), The Fifth Element, perhaps Gladiator.
ETA: After reading the thread, I kind of agree with Raiders and The Avengers being mentioned. True Lies was borderline parody of the genre (but a good film).
Another I thought should be discussed is Top Gun.
