Die Hard is a great movie though. In all respects.

If you're going to go all the way back to Bruce Lee you might as well include Guns Of Navaronne of The Dirty Dozen too.
Die Hard struck the template which all action movies have followed ever since. Not saying it's the best or the only, just saying it's the true ground breaker of the recent cinematic era of action films. |

When I first saw "Raiders of the Lost Ark" it had me on the edge of my seat.

I like the Crystal Skull okay enough right up until the aliens. I do like his reaction when the commie elf-queen first tells him about the aliens though.
A space ship has no place in an Indiana Jones movie.

The Matrix Trilogy. Groundbreaking action when it came out...

I have to recommend Hobo with a ShotGun. I saw it because I loved the title of the movie. Turned out to be a surprise and very violent.
Others I would have to list: Robocop- A movie that no real man should be without. Rambo Braveheart Passion of the Christ- It may not be an action film the all that tourture was super violent and graphic. Super Grapich and violent is one of the elements of action for me. The movie may not be action but you can argure a lot of scense were action like. Quentin Tarantino Movies The Professional Aliens Heat Leathal Weapon |

What I didn't like was they made it more about Shia than Indy and plus I just plain don't like Shia. don't know why. I don't like him either but I did like how they ended the film with Indy not letting him take his hat. I chose to interpret that as "Oh, you thought we were gonna' pass the torch? Nope! Chuck Testa."
