What do you guys like? Throw anything out there.

1) Roadhouse
2) Deathwish
3) Red Dawn
4) First Blood
5) Rumble in the Bronx (for diversities sake)

What else yall got? I'm a huge fan, much thanks to netflix. You could throw some Highlander action in there for me too. Most are pretty interchangeable minus #1 for me.

First Blood isnt shitty at all.

Death Wish 3 (really all of them)
The Running Man

It's got its fair share of cheeze wiz. Don't get me wrong, it's badass but I don't hold it in the top tier like a Predator or a True Lies.

Also, replace Deathwish with Bloodsport.

that is actually high art, not shitty action movie. Its a great story and very well done. Yes the acting is a bit over the top.

First Blood is a great drama. I don't know what you thought was cheesy about it, but since a lot of its elements have become Hollywood formulas, its impact has been lessened.

Also, after it was released, Vietnam vets began to be treated a lot better. Rambo's monologue at the end was a really powerful moment. Movies like this and Uncommon Valor were a big reason for that.

They had enough self-awareness to avoid being lumped in with the OP's movies IMO.

Commando, also agree First Blood does not need to be on this list. They Live is a pretty good and fun sci-fi movie.
