80s ultimate decade for action/scifi/scifi comdedy/adventure/cartoon /romantic genres….all the movies mentioned in the list is awesome. Robocop was just a surprise when i watched first time in theater release.. So as Predator.. .I know this is a list of action genre, butbstill want to add- honey i shrunk the kids, who framed roger rabbit, ghostbuster, , the thing, ] &romsnving the dtone…
Was hoping to see Highlander on the honorable mentions at least 🙂
#10, yea if you like an ost with like 2 songs
what about mad Max 2
I'm 10 and I watch these type of movies
no Sylvester Stallone on this list meaning he didn't crack the top ten was a shame plus if aliens would make the cut of the top ten id have it #10 but I would have had tango and cash 10th or 9th
what about all the other Hong Kong classics? Hard Boiled? Killer?? cmon they deserve an H. Mention. And Police Story should've been on the list its a masterpiece
The key is which one to pick?
Over
Watch enough of this kind of crap and you can lost your mind
The predator isn't a soldier he's a hunter
back to the future!!!!!!!
aliens better be number 1
Aliens….
Really sigh
its more horror than anything
What about raiders of the lost ark!!?
Action movies of the 80s are the best
Escape from new york?
I love Predator, Commando, Terminator. They are freaking amazing!
I never felt that First Blood is an action film. It's sequels are though (I personally prefer Rambo 3). LW2 is a better than the first.
My List would be 10- Commando 9-Aliens 8-Predator 7-Rambo First Blood!6 Star Wars Empire Strikes Back 5- Raiders of the Lost Ark 5- Termanator 4- Mad Max 2 Road Warrior 3-Waterworld -2 James Bond 1-Robocop
I'd knew there was a boxing, fencing and professional wrestling match in Commando.
i love old movies
How the hell did Above the Law make this list? Good movie but would of taken Missing in Action 2 , Police Story , Big trouble in little China.
Great list. Although I don't agree with the order and would've had Predator as my #1 hands down, it's still a list with all the meat and potatoes. Cobra would've made my honorable mention
