Favorite Action Flick

Die Hard...the first one. Awesome action, great character...was one of the first times I ever saw a realistic hero, with real fears and who wasn't afraid to express it. Also, didn't come out unscathed by a long shot.

You deserve an ass whoopin' for even thinking that joke, Kev.

I love Die Hard and the Indy films like the rest of you. But I gotta say that two of my real faves are Tombstone and Leon.

Tombstone is also one of my favorites, it has so many great quotable lines.

Doc Holliday is quite possibly Val Kilmer's greatest performance.

No question about it. Although I do like him in Real Genius but for other reasons. In terms of acting quality, he will never be able to best his role in Tombstone. And few other actors can best that either.

Batman (1943), the best wartime propaganda movie of all time, and the only movie where Alfred expresses his love for Batman

"Batman, I want you!"
"Always when I'm interrogating people!"

Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

Yup..Indy is definitely my favorite, I only mentioned Die Hard because I was trying to avoid GL films, but that doesn't really make any sense.

Indy, to me, has always been more a project of Spielburg's than Lucas'.

I'm an Indy guy.

Princess Leia: I happen to like nice men.
Han Solo: I'm a nice man.

I'm the same way. Even though he's the exec producer, I don't even associate GL with the Indy movies. They are part of the Spielberg camp to me.
