What is the best action movie ever? (quote, hands)

I say Die Hard 1. You cant beat Bruce Willis running around a skyscraper against about 15 guys with no shoes and no shirt. On top of that he does those ridiculous stunts like jumping off the roof with a hose and whatnot.

I'd probably go with Oldboy or Ichi the Killer

John Woo's Hard Boiled

A 35 minute final shootout in the baby ward of a hospital

Chow Yun Fat is the best action hero ever

Equilibrium

hands down

Here's a few:

ARAHAN (Korean bonkers wi-fu)
THE MATRIX (yes the first one is still a damn great film)
VERSUS (Japanese Kung Fu zombie gangster film-bloody brilliant)
THE WILD BUNCH (best shootout ever filmed)
COMMANDO (I shit you not. 80's macho claptrap and great one liners)
FIRST BLOOD (hold's up extremely well)
BLOODSPORT (oh yes cheesy JEAN CLAUDE VAN DAMME. You will all be cheering in the end!)
ALIENS (stop your grinning and drop your linen)
DISTRICT 13 (crazy PARKOUR and MARTIAL ARTS what more do you want. a plot?)
HER0 (JUST STUNNING)
KUNG FU HUSTLE (wow wow wow)
ONG BAK (Tony Jaa doing all his own stunts)
