Live Life Team
Each era has its own great films, and in the 1980s these were the ten best action flicks.
10. Predator
That beast which hunts the gang is pretty darn scary, I’m not sure I would ever go into the jungle again.
9. The Running Man
Talk about a public execution! Arnold must run for his life to avoid execution on a popular television show after he’s wrongly convicted of a crime.
8. Robocop
This was one really cool film, a man who’s part machine and part human. Of course he makes the perfect cop, he’s hard to kill.
7. Raging Bull
This movie was so intense some people even threw up in the theatres because the scenes were so in your face.
6. Top Gun
The movie that made Tom Cruise a superstar. Everyone wanted to be Maverick and beat jerk Val Kilmer at his own game.
5. Lethal Weapon
Buddy cops trying to do their job and somehow they always get themselves in trouble. The best part was their sense of humour in stressful situations; it gave everyone sitting in the theatre a sense of relief.
4. The Empire Strikes Back
The saga continues so of course this was a popular film, but not only that, it was really good.
3. Terminator
Arnold at his finest. This is where all his classic lines came from and what really put him on the map. Fine movie.
2. Raiders of the Lost Ark
Indiana Jones outruns bad guys, finds treasure and is charming at the same time. Who could ask for more,
1. Die Hard
Officer John McClane makes his first appearance. Bruce Willis was brilliant as the regular guy who happens to be a cop and gets into some gritty situations.
