6. Seven Samurai - Never saw this but heard it was really good.*

* denotes movies I haven't seen therefore am unable to comment on.

 

Die Hard was a great movie. Aliens is #2? I had no idea that it was so popular.

 

Terminator 2 is way too far down the list, if aliens can get #2 place, then it should be alot higher

 

Meh, not a lot of faith in this list.

Since my relative order for the three film would be Alien > T2 > Die Hard... But I guess Alien got more votes because it was made earlier?

 

New vote should go to Transformer, Lord of the Rings

 

I would've put Aliens first on the list for sure.

 

die hard movies are the best cop/action movies ever .

 

24 for Lethal Weapon? I would imagine it'll do a little better.

 

the die hard trilogy were exellent but haven't saw the fourth yet so can't tell is it good or not.

 

nooo.. terminator all the way down the list. that movie is my favourite in the 90's! disappointing to see it all the way down there.

 

but i think batman is the best lah-batman

 

die hard movies are the best action movies ever .
