A clear answer to this question. Have you seen the fight scenes in this in recent years? I watched it in my teens and I was bitterly disappointed. I bet it was great in its time though.

I doubt everyone will class all of these as action, but these are all absolutely spiffing:
Infernal Affairs (remade into the overlong The Departed) Terminator 2 Con Air Batman Begins Drive (the one with Ryan Gosling) Rogue One Blade Runner Kung Fu Hustle Logan Rush Kill Bill From Beijing with Love (the funniest Bond spoof I've seen) Jurassic Park Jurassic World Mad Max: Fury Road LOTR: The Fellowship of the Ring (maybe one of the least action here) Captain America: The Winter Soldier Equilibrium Riders of Justice (dark and funny Danish action film staring Mads Mikkelsen) Top Gun: Maverick Gladiator Skyfall Dr. No Baby Driver Deadpool Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl Taken Avengers Assemble The Bourne Identity Princess Mononoke Bacurau
All the recent Mission: Impossible films. See the latest at the cinema if you haven't already!

"broadsword calling Danny boy".
Where Eagles Dare.
Clint Eastwood uses enough ammunition to slaughter a small country.

'Olympus has fallen' was one of my favorite 'Die Hard' type films
I still find 'Patriot Games' gripping also

Cliffhanger. Probably Stallone’s best film after Rocky.

Taken - Big fan of anything with liam Neeson in it. Jaws - One of the truly great movies. “You’re gonna need a bigger boat.” Raiders of the Lost Ark The Fugitive Patriots Day - The endings a belter Beverly Hills Cop - Murphy’s best movie The Dark Knight - Absolute class The Man with the Golden Gun - My favourite Bond movie Star Wars - The best Duel - Superb chase movie The Wild Geese - Moore, Harris and Burton all in the same movie. Cried at the end The Great Escape - Classic Dirty Harry - The scene with Eastwood standing on the bridge as the bus goes past is epic. Great music too. Death Wish The Untouchables - Hugely underrated

I make a distinction between thrillers which I like and action movies which I normally don't like at all. I have a feeling action movies normally are filled with unjustified violence without any explanation whatsoever, whereas thrillers are based upon revenge or something you can relate to as understandable.
However, I have thought about it a lot and came up with some movies often regarded as action-thrillers or action movies.
"Harry Brown" w Michael Caine. Action or action-thriller
"Taken" w Liam Neeson. All of them. Action-thriller
"The Fugitive" w Harrison Ford. Action-thriller.
"Death wish" w Charles Bronson. All of them. Action movie.
