I have to start with the Govenator. An action film with the special ingredients of a tight time line in order to save his young daughter from the usual assortment of bad guys that you can't wait to see die.
True LiesTrue Lies

Another Ahnold film. Jamie Lee Curtis is great and sexy as is Tia Carrera.
Superman II - The Richard Donner CutSuperman II - The Richard Donner Cut
Buy new: $17.49 / Used from: $3.19
Three against one on the super-scale plus an encounter with the always sexy Lois Lane.

Superb acting and an incredible set of music. Did you catch 'Christopher' from 'The Sopranos' as the young server who gets gunned down by Joe Pesci? And also from 'The Sopranos' Lorraine Bracco 'Dr. Melfi' as Karen Hill.
CasinoCasino
Buy new: $10.49 / Used from: $3.77
Brutal and if you ever wondered why Vegas odds are stacked against you. 'Phil Leotardo' from 'The Sopranos' who does in Joe Pecsi, high on the list of bad guys I want to see go.
Enter the DragonEnter the Dragon

Bruce Lee at his best along with some good production values. Being a 40 year Martial Arts practioner, I still marvel at Bruce's skill.

Of course, the Duke! It's a little slow at times, but it's the swaggering Duke at his best, in a western and the best bad guy for him to go against in Forest Tucker.
To Have and Have Not (Keepcase)To Have and Have Not (Keepcase)

Bogie at his best and a young sexy Bacall.
The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938) [HD DVD]The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938) [HD DVD]

I couldn't leave out an Errol Flynn Swashbuckler. The righteous arrogance of Robing Hood towards Prince John and the Sheriff of Nottingham add to the film a comic element to the classic story.
Diamonds Are ForeverDiamonds Are Forever

The opening scenes with James Bond seeking revenge on Blofeld for killing his wife is sweet revenge and a great welcome back for Sean Connery.
Above the LawAbove the Law
Buy new: $5.79 / Used from: $0.89
The Martial Art of Aikido, with a dash of Karate demonstrated as the beautiful and deadly art that it is. A new style of violence to dispatch the bad guys who so richly deserve it.

Jason Statham as the new Martial Arts talent in a great action piece.
The Punisher (Extended Cut)The Punisher (Extended Cut)
Buy new: $9.49 / Used from: $2.41
I love revenge movies. Good guy and or family is brutally murdered by bad guys. But he survives to reap vengence on said bad guys. John Travolota is great as the bank owner/money launderer. Plus, an incredible fight between the punisher and 'the russian'.
Robocop [Blu-ray]Robocop [Blu-ray]
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $7.64
Peter Weller in the revenge role who has some pretty amazing recupretive surgery after being shot dead. Kurtwood Smith, another great bad guy you can't wait to see die a horible death.
