"Spinoff: The Janey Action Movie Post"


  

          

Recommend some action flicks for our beloved janey.

A brief guideline from bignick:

In every action movie there has to some suspension of belief, just like in wacky comedies or sci-fi. But, within that world, things have to make sense. There has to be logic behind the characters behavior. If you find yourself second guessing the actions in every scene, the fault is not in you for refusing to turn your brain off. The fault is in them for not coming up with a better story. There are tons of action movies from The Great Escape to Die Hard that manage to actually be good.

Bonus points if they're in foreign languages. And don't even think about Mads. She's already seen Casino Royale.

I'll start:

Indiana Jones triology
The Matrix
Batman Begins
Terminator 2 : Judgement Day

(And you should absolutely see Die Hard and The Great Escape)
