 | The Rock - Criterion Collection
Buy new: $30.49 / Used from: $5.21 The best dumb action movie ever made. Just pure entertainment at it's finest.
|
 | Face/Off
Buy used from: $1.75 The plot is ludricrous, but the performances by Travolta and Cage are so outstanding that you won't give a damn. One of John Woo's finest films.
|
 | Con Air
Buy used from: $2.99 Speaking of Nic Cage, here's one about criminals hijacking a plane in mid-flight with Cage's paroled ex-ranger on board ready to kick some ass. Fun for the whole family!
|
 | Die Hard - The Ultimate Collection
Buy used from: $13.00 These flicks defined action movies in the 90's. One of the finest trilogies ever. Hell, I liked them as much as the original Star Wars trilogy.
|
 | The James Bond Collection, Vol. 1 (Special Edition)
Buy used from: $15.49 God bless Ian Fleming.
|
 | The James Bond Collection, Vol. 2 (Special Edition)
Buy used from: $49.99 More Bond.
|
 | The James Bond Collection, Vol. 3 (Special Edition)
Buy used from: $29.95 You've gotta have all of these.
|
 | From Dusk Till Dawn (Dimension Collector's Series)
Buy new: $11.99 / Used from: $3.37 A B-schlock action/horror film crossed with a road movie with Tarentino dialogue and directed by Robert Rodriguez? I'm there.
|
 | Desperado
Buy used from: $0.01 I just love this flick. It's pure style, but it's good style. Not that quick-cut MTV fad junk directing that seems to be popular in Hollywood these days.
|
 | Steven Seagal Collection
Buy used from: $45.99 The Dumb Action hero to millions everywhere. I mean that as the highest compliment.
|
 | Rambo Trilogy (Special Edition DVD Collection) - (First Blood/Rambo: First Blood Part II/Rambo III)
Buy used from: $7.43 Sly Stallone's first contributions to the world of Dumb Action movies.
|
 | XXX (Widescreen Special Edition)
Buy new: $11.99 / Used from: $0.01 A new Dumb Action hero is born. 20 mil a picture is a bit steep though, Vin.
|
 | Star Wars - Episode II, Attack of the Clones (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $18.99 / Used from: $2.40 Let's face it, this was Dumb Action disguised as a Star Wars movie. It works quite well in that context.
|
 | The Patriot (Special Edition)
Buy new: $12.49 / Used from: $1.89 Dumb Action disguised as a Revolutionary War movie. One of my favorites.
|
 | Bad Boys (Special Edition)
Buy new: $12.49 / Used from: $1.47 The film that unleashed Dumb Action expert Michael Bay upon the unprepared movie industry. Quite a funny pairing of Will Smith and Martin Lawrence.
|
 | Pearl Harbor - The Director's Cut (Four-Disc Vista Series)
Buy new: $32.49 / Used from: $3.93 Dumb Action poorly disguised as an epic about the events of Dec. 7, 1941. And God help me, I liked it anyway. Directed by Michael Bay, of course.
|
 | Deep Blue Sea (Snap Case)
Buy used from: $0.08 What do you get when you cross genetically-enhanced sharks with Sam Jackson, LL Cool J, and action-meister Renny Harlin? A hell of a lot of fun, that's what.
|
 | Cliffhanger (Collector's Edition)
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $1.30 The last good Stallone flick I've seen. That was a while ago, too. Hopefully he'll make a comeback, but I don't think Rocky VI is going to do the trick.
|
 | Blade (New Line Platinum Series)
Buy new: $9.49 / Used from: $0.33 Another purely entertaining movie. Wes Snipes is a perfect Blade.
|
 | Blade II (New Line Platinum Series)
Buy new: $23.49 / Used from: $0.97 An improvement on the original with more gore and more mayhem!
|
 | Starship Troopers (Special Edition)
Buy used from: $2.85 Total tongue-in-cheek sci-fi gorefest. The special effects actually hold up really well to a lot of the stuff they've come up with lately.
|
 | Point Break
Buy used from: $1.85 Another one of my faves. It's got bank-robbing surfers, Keanu diving out of a plane (gun in hand) without a parachute, and Gary Busey. What more could you ask for?
|
 | Swordfish
Buy used from: $0.01 There are two good reasons to watch this one. And actually the movie is pretty good too.
|
 | Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $0.05 Just kidding.
|
 | Arnold: The Education of a Bodybuilder by Arnold Schwarzenegger
Buy new: $10.08 / Used from: $7.95 What's that? Where's Arnold, you say? Ahnuld gets his own damn list. Coming soon.

Listmania!
