I did make a poll including 10 of the more popular ones but you're not limited to those choices. You can name whatever other movie if it's not one of those.
For me Aliens is the greatest of the lot followed by The Terminator and then Die Hard.
I like all those movies in the poll except for The Road Warrior a movie that's always been very popular for a reason that completely escapes me.

Robocop, The Terminator and Commando, with Predator and The Road Warrior not that far behind.

I just can't decide. I will say the only movie on the list I legitimately do not like (Robocop) is currently in first place. Go figure.

Aliens is by far my favourite movie on that list, but I voted Die Hard as not only is it the best action movie of the 80s, I consider it the best action movie ever made. Aliens is more sci-fi horror anyway, and as much as I adore it, has more flaws than Die Hard IMO.
That said, I watch both at least once or twice a year! Terminator, Predator and Robocop come next for me (Predator probably slightly behind the other two, and Robocop slightly ahead in personal choice).
Best action scene probably belongs to Mad Max 2 though; the entire final chase is just incredible filmaking!

I know there's only been a few votes but I'm surprised that RoboCop is number 1. It is a good movie but if the 10 movies in the poll I'd rank it as 6th.

Die Hard was my pick. Alan Rickman, may he rest in peace, was a great villain.

Die Hard is one of the best of its genre. A textbook example of a competent action movie. Technically adequate. Shaky-cam used sparingly and only when necessary. Nowadays, such a movie either begins in the middle and flashes back or opens with a big generic attention-generating action sequence. It's a big no-no to start where most plots should start - right at the beginning. That's exactly what Die Hard does and quite successfully so. The same can be said of many action movies made up to the 00s but I'll always point out Die Hard as an example of how to do things right. And I like the other movies on your poll as well.

Aliens is down to 6th, can't believe that. I thought it'd be a toss up between it and Die Hard.
No votes for First Blood....maybe I should have gone with the sequel.

I think I'm one of the few who've never liked the Die Hard franchise.

I think I'm one of the few who've never liked the Die Hard franchise. Why not? the first Die Hard is a classic masterpiece of filmmaking. |

Yeah Die Hard is one of those few movies where I don't see much complaints for it I've seen people complain about Aliens or Terminator 2 but not Die Hard.

I honestly don't have any complaints about Die Hard. It just didn't click with me. I don't hate it nor think it's terrible. I'm just not a fan.

I'm fond of Death Wish 2. Shame it isn't on this list! The fight in the mental hospital, is one of my favourites! Charles Bronson kicks arse!
