Movies The Gentlemen, The Man From UNCLE, Jack Reacher, Bourne Trilogy, The Guest etc.

Just good action, good acting and little downtime from the action/suspense. Need something to pass the time.

    Arnold Schwarzenegger is the king of this genre of movie.

    • The Running Man, based on a Stephen King book that is pretty good and could've arguably predicted reality TV. It's hilarious from the outfits to the one liners.

    • Commando, more hilarious Arnie stuff. This movie has a lot of his original one liners in it and is funny as hell with it's acting.

    • End of Days. This was meant to be a serious horror/action film using religious themes and the apocalypse. It's so bad, both Arnie and Gabriel Byrne are on a quest to overact each other.

      Does Predator count? It's got very little downtime, I watched it silent in a bar once and ignored my friends for like an hour I was so invested.

        I thought Predator was one of his better movies like Terminator, not so much in the 'it's so good, it's bad' category.

        Arnie movies are hilarious. Kindergarten Cop is probably my favorite for the sheer number of lines that went into soundboards for prank calling.
