  1. Die Hard

I think Die Hard may be the best action film of all time.

Although there are plenty of bad movies from back then also.

Did you see the documetary on TCM on 1934 and all of the movies that were released that year? There were proabably 150 to 200 movies released that year and at least half were really 'terrific' movies ...

I did not see it.

I quickly found two of my favorites from 1934. I love The Thin Man, and It Happened One Night. What others were from 1934?

Another great movie from 1939 was THE FOUR FEATHERS, directed by Zoltan Korda, and starring John Clements, Ralph Richardson, C. Aubrey Smith, and June Duprez.

Much better than the novel to my way of thinking.

Aprillis: Sure you don't mean 1939? (Never mind.)

At first Ford had formed a theory to account for this strange behavior. If human beings don't keep exercising their lips, he thought, their mouths probably seize up.
After a few months' consideration and observation he abandoned this theory in favor of a new one. If they don't keep on exercising their lips, he thought, their brains start working.

Wellll...... there was The Empire Strikes back. But I can't argue with this. Die Hard most certainly ranks as the greatest "heist" movie of all time, with the twist that you don't realize it's a heist movie until halfway through. It also is probably the greatest "guy" movie ever. It not only has great action but great, INTELLIGENT writing and razor wit. It's only rival among "action/guy flicks" may be The Great Escape. Errrrr.... and Lawrence of Arabia, if you consider it an "action" movie as well as a biopic.
