Looking for recommendations for some kick ass action movies! (forgive me for being all american) Seen the classics, Commando/Predator/Rambo's etc etc but hungry for more, i like my action films from the 80's/90's but any time frame is fine as are genres, (except kung fu) thanks in advance.

Get some Van Damme cheese with the classic Hard Target which interestingly enough was directed by John Woo. Comes in for a lot of stick but I always found it entertaining plus it has Lance Henriksen in.
Even the trailer is win.

chuck norris is the man
When the Boogeyman goes to sleep every night, he checks his closet for Chuck Norris.
Chuck Norris destroyed the periodic table, because Chuck Norris only recognizes the element of surprise.

Aliens
Independence Day
Indiana Jones - Raiders
Armageddon
The Wild Bunch
Any which way you can
Every which way but loose
Heartbreak Ridge
The good, the bad and the ugly
The Arrival - Not outright action but a good alien thriller with Charlie Sheen
Enter the Dragon
The Thing
Starship Troopers
Leon
Westworld
Pulp Fiction
Dawn of the Dead
REC
Evil Dead
Man on Fire
Repo Man - One of Chuck Norris' first
Point Break
Taken - Liam Neeson. Awesome film which i'm amazed at how many people still haven't seen

If you dont mind reading your movies then you need to hit up the Heroic Bloodshed movies of John Woo et al like...
A Better Tomorrow Trilogy
Hard Boiled
The Killer
Bullet in the Head
Young & Dangerous Trilogy
City on Fire
Then when your done being amazed at how great they really are you can look to America for ultimate cheese along the lines of...
Kickboxer
Awol
Bloodsport
Marine (John Cena is a suprisingly good Arnie Replacement)
Crank
JCVD
Universal Soldier
Red Dawn
Escape from New York
Escape From LA
Hard Target
Face Off
Ronin
Heat
Like Nemesis said the list just goes on & on, but they should get you started

I actually think the old Punisher with Dolph Lundgren is better than the new version

I'm gonna kill 'em all, sir.
That's a rubbish film, but it scores + 10 because it has Michael Chiklis crying because Kurt doesn't like a pretty scarf he makes him, and Sean Pertwee getting blown to bits. Again. Plus KR looking so pumped he resembles a pile of swollen sausages stuffed inside a big bag of swollen sausages.
I recommend Tango & Cash. That film has everything, including KR dressed as a lady. Never have I been so tempted.
