Loki Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 I did the same sort of thing with my Top 10, only 1 per director and trying to get something from each genre, otherwise you'd have had a top 10 that was about 30 films long!
Paid Members Thunderplex Posted February 14, 2012 Paid Members Posted February 14, 2012 Possibly the corniest movie ever made, but that is not a bad thing. Sums up the 80's one-man-army genre with a hearty helping of cheese. Love it.
Moderators Astro Hollywood Posted February 14, 2012 Moderators Posted February 14, 2012 Never seen it. Should I resign from the UKFF immediately?
Moderators PowerButchi Posted February 14, 2012 Moderators Posted February 14, 2012 Watch it tonight then. It's got him off The Warriors in it chatting up a 5/10 woman. It's spectacular.
Paid Members Halitosis Romantic Posted February 14, 2012 Paid Members Posted February 14, 2012 Never seen it. Should I resign from the UKFF immediately? No, you should watch it. Commando is pure, distilled perfection. If I'd have voted, Gladstone would've been happy - no tactical from me, Commando, Total Recall, and The Running Man would all be on there, and maybe T2. But Commando would've been top.
Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted February 14, 2012 Paid Members Posted February 14, 2012 (edited) Commando's a fantastic film. The best moment in movie history might possibly be the Strapping on the Weaponry part. Its so testosterone filled, you get an enlarged heart just watching it. Filled with one liners, beat downs, explosions and everything else that makes Arnie brilliant. It gave us as well Edited February 14, 2012 by The_BarbarIAN
Paid Members Surf Digby Posted February 14, 2012 Paid Members Posted February 14, 2012 Never seen it. Should I resign from the UKFF immediately? Worse than that, I have seen it, and didn't care for it much. I think at the time, I didn't appreciate cheeseyness and preferred the darker tone of something like Predator. I'm up for giving it another shot though.
Paid Members Halitosis Romantic Posted February 14, 2012 Paid Members Posted February 14, 2012 Shit, Predator would've been on my list too. That's 4/5 Arnie films in my top 10.

I started a thread a couple of years ago for suggestions of 80s montage/action movie tracks and this beauty made the final CD, it's a beautiful CD and it still gets played regularly when my normal music isn't giving me the right lift. Here's how the final compilation looks, a lot of guys here suggested a lot of great tracks and these made the cut. I defy any man not to love it.
Moderators PowerButchi Posted February 14, 2012 Moderators Posted February 14, 2012 Yeah, please do. That looks superb.
Paid Members FLips Posted February 14, 2012 Paid Members Posted February 14, 2012 I think Commando was my No.2 pick and I wasn't worried for a second it wouldn't appear. Never a dull moment in it.
Paid Members PunkStep Posted February 14, 2012 Paid Members Posted February 14, 2012 I know its featured in a film not as manly.as those (Flashdance), but She's A Maniac has to be added to your list.
