You really love robocop, haha. It was a good flick, but, not my favorite. I liked the crazy guy at the beginning, tormenting the man with the shotgun before blowing his hand off.

I thought it was an all-around amazng film...it had everything a good action movies needs: A great hero, and equally awesome villain, a few plot twists, great actors, crazy violence, and a simple but really cool ending. Love it.

I own the sequel, but I still havent had a hance to watch it. Is it anywhere near as good as #1?

Not really, and part 3 is just "what the hell?"

But they're all watchable IMO

Top 10 was too hard, plus some genres were marginal so I just listed my top 20. They're in no particular order. Some might not exactly be Action though.

[Despare]

There are so many...

I would add a lot like Leon: The Professional, 7 Deadly Sins, The Killer, Hard Boiled, Dirt Harry, Showdown in Little Tokyo, Big Trouble in Little China, Blade, The Mummy, Indiana Jones (any of them really) and plenty more that people would argue with (quality and some genre heh). Great picks though, has me craving an action flick now although I think I'll go with something older...

Versus
Fight Club
Kung Fu Hustle
American Ninja
