Well don't worry, there's hasn't been a single movie made in the last 18 years that's better than the matrix

I'm a big fan of The Peacemaker. Clooney is so mean in that movie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=avXk2EamFs4

I have to vote Jurassic Park 2. The movie was garbage, but the climax of the film made the entire movie worth it.

No way 5th Element is a better action movie than Face/Off. Better overall film, maybe, but not as an action genre piece. No way.

Say Watt?

The action in Face/Off is not memorable to me for some reason. I remember there was a brawl in the magnetic boot prison but nothing from the fight itself and I'll never forget the most obvious stuntmen ever flying off the boat in the end but that's it. I actually remember a lot of shots from the movie but not during the action.

I guess I don't "get" Fifth Element. I had watched it for the first time I'd say around a year and a half ago, and I can't give it more than a 6/10. I'm sure my then girlfriend annoyingly saying multipass 10 times leading up to it didn't help, but I can't say it comes anything close to being a great movie.

You don't watch The Fifth Element for the action, you watch it because it's ridiculous in the good way like you want.

That sums up about 95% of films with Luc Bessons name attached to them.

Fifth Element is trash. Starship Troopers is one of the greatest movies of all time.

There's an embarrassing number of movies on this list that I haven't seen, but I have seen Face/Off and can state that it is extremely good

I actually watch the first bit of Lost World a couple nights ago but had been feeling sick all week so I stopped it to sleep, maybe I'll pick up the rest this week

Oh, man. The Saint is dumb fun but it can barely hold its own against Air Force One or The Jackal, let alone The Fifth Element or Face/Off.
