Hope you enjoy these:
Hard Boiled - John Woo, Chow Yun Fat, lots of guns
A Bittersweet Life - A Korean actioner with a really tough guy forced to turn on his mob boss employer
RoboCop - Verhoeven's splatter masterpiece. Amazingly cool film.
Thriller: The Call Her One Eye - slow at times, but the stark wierdness of the Scandinavian environment and the pure brutality make this one a classic
Leon - the director's cut of The Professional. Fun.
Crank - A work of amazing momentum. I loved the completely over-the-top nature of this piece of mindlessness.
The Rundown (aka Helldorado) - The Rock, Seann William Scott, Rosario Dawson and Christopher Walken...and angry monkeys.
Magnum Force - my favorite Dirty Harry Callahan movie.
Bring Me The Head of Alfredo Garcia - Warren Oates stars (which always makes me happy) in this tale of extreme insensitivity.
Straw Dogs - Dustin Hoffman married a hottie, but the rest of the town considers her "still available" and don't think Hoffman will ever stand up to the bullying...they're wrong.
Le Femme Nikita - If you've seen the English language remake Point of No Return with Brigit Fonda, you've been had. That movie sucked ass, the original is no Shakespeare, but it sizzles with hip, nihilistic glee.
Blue Thunder - Roy Scheider, Warren Oates and a kick ass helicopter.
Escape From New York - Snake Plissken? I thought he was dead.
