Starship Troopers for me. It is one of the most re-watchable movies ever made. Nigh on perfect mix of action, parody and boobs.

Really? I rewatched it fairly recently after having not watched it for ages. It is amazingly bad once they get off the bus.

There's no need to be here any longer than necessary. Let's split up, look for survivors, and get out of here.

I have a gaming blog too. Read it if you wish; if you don't I won't take it too personally. Metro 2033 is shite!

I saw this in a movie about a bus that had to speed around a city, keeping its speed over fifty and if its speed dropped, it would explode! I think it was called ... "The Bus That Couldn't Slow Down."

I'm proud to say that I've seen all of those films. Terminator 2 wins, with many close seconds.

Would anybody else call Saving Private Ryan an action movie? That was made in the 90's you know.

I'm quite surprised that True Lies is yet to pick up any votes whatsoever.
