In no particular order, I'd probably pick Terminator 2, Die Hard, Robocop, The Dark Knight, Heat, Kill Bill 1+2, District 9, The Crow (been awhile since I've seen it though), Speed, and maybe John Wick.

There's probably quite a few I've missed out on, especially foreign action films.

What are your picks, either popular or obscure?

    Mad Max Fury Road. Just never stops

    Ong Bak is a stand out martial arts movie

    13 Assassins. It's directed by Takashi Miike to give you an idea of what you're in for.

    Aliens if you want to count it as an action movie.

    Die Hard.

    Hot Fuzz

    Django Unchained

    Hero

    Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon

    Dredd

    Underworld

      I came in here to find The Raid because it's so goddamn good, probably my favourite action movie, but as Hallway Scenes go, isn't Oldboy earlier?
