Speed

I second Speed.

Speed

1994

I second Speed.

I'm surprised it took that long. I feel like Speed is one of the best if not the best action film. It's pure non-stop action. Even T2 can't match the non-stoppiness of the action of Speed.

[Heather19]

I'll second Dazed and Confused

HELL NO.

Are you sure?

If you want non stop action, try watching The Raid.

That shit is like Speed, on Speed.

[mae]

Okay, fair point. I should have said "best action film of the 1990s".

Hmm, I may have to start nominating some of the ones I thought people would nominate, but you guys keep going in a different direction. Hunt for Red October is good, but there's a better 90s submarine movie. Carlito's Way is good, but there is a better gangster movie.

First, we need some more comedies up in here!

Nomination #5

What About Bob?
1991
Dir: Frank Oz

There are two types of people in this world: Those who like Neil Diamond, and those who don't. My ex-wife loves him.

As for the better gangster movie, I already nominated GoodFellas.

As for the better submarine movie.... See my next nomination.

NOMINATION #22

"Little ducks, there's trouble in Russia. So they called us. And we're going over there and bringing the most lethal killing machine ever devised. We're capable of launching more firepower than has ever been released in the history of war. For one purpose alone: To keep our country safe. We constitute the front line and the last line of defense. I expect and demand your very best. Anything less, you should have joined the Air Force. This might be our Commander-in-Chief's Navy, but this is my boat. And all I ask is that you keep up with me. And if you can't, that strange sensation you'll be feeling in the seat of your pants will be my boot in your ass!"
