Total Recall, at least before the final butchery. Dreaming or not dreaming, etc. We escape from those eternal blue-grey-white-black colours we find in tons of action films, like...

...films like T2. T2 is very well made and has all its coolness despite some poor choices and ideas.  A good souvenir, the more because of the T1000 concept that foreshadows one of the greatest futuristic projects we have good reasons to believe as feasible: microbots that combine and shape into any appearance we'd program them to shape. PLUS we owe T2 the magnificent Hot Shots 2 ending !!

Commando also nominated for the decided-man-on-the-dinghy scene and what follows...

Schwarzie has an amazing career record! If I only could laugh for good, and not think about how those films would shed a positive light on soldier jobs and would encourage people to enlist for real...

Maybe it's because we are about the same age, but I share Michael's romantic connotations to the 80s action movies. For a couple of years my film diet consisted entirely of Bloodsport, Kickboxer, American Ninja, Commando, Lion the Streetfighter, Rambo, Rocky, Predator and the likes. Hell I was even a fan of Michael Dudikoff and Dolph Lundgren at one pointLOL

I remember watching Bloodsport every day for an entire summer vacation. I ended up being able to do splits and all sorts of cool manoeuvres - much to the discontent of my fellow playmates - who all were incredibly jealous.

Terminator 2 was full of effects, but Terminator I is an excellent movie.

It was original, interesting and solid while T2 was pure paraphernalia and melodramatic.

There are some very good movies here and a couple of so-so movies as well.
My boys and I (not so much my daughter) watched a lot of action movies back then and still do today.
The biggies already have a lot of votes (but I was not impressed with Total Recall).
I really liked True Lies, Eraser and End Of Days and voted for End Of Days.

T2??? really...wow.  Yet another example of never being able to account for tastes. Nothing on the original much less Conan or Predator.  Get to the Choppa!!!!

here was the best part of T2 for me.. GnR baby!!!!
