Favorite Action movies with stereotypical terrorists
 
1.Delta Force--a chuck norris classic

2.Executive Decision--Russell and Segal (too bad he dies early in the movie)

3.Air Force One-- one of few to feature the Eastern European/russian terrorist

4.Passenger 57--Snipes at his best, what do you bet on when you play roulette?

5. Die Hard 1,2,3--Encompasses the European, and Militia/mercenary terrorists

6.Clear and Present Danger/Patriot Games---the IRA, and colombian drug lords! Willem Dafoe playing a good guy

1. Elf - Will Farrell takes 'em on.
2. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs- Disney makes a statement against evil.
3. Star Wars I - Luke and Obi won...what's not to get?
4. Babes in Toyland- this Laurel and Hardy classic says it all.
5. The Wizard of Oz- evil witches and smoke and mirrors...classic!

also worth mention...the tv show "The Beverly Hill Billies"...taking on the banking establishment.

Two of my favorites were not highly thought of but I really enjoyed them:
Nighthawks...Hauer as the terrorist
Wanted: Dead or Alive...Hauer in a rare role as the hero with Gene Simmons as the bad guy!

Good ones Somerfrost!
If I could do mine over, I'd include "Blazing Saddles" for taking on racism, and "Young Frankenstein"...for obvious reasons.

Yeah, all good choices...loved Blazing Saddles! I don't watch too many movies anymore as I'm absolutely convinced that TV is better (a minority opinion, I know), I've only been to the movies three times in the past few years...Underworld 1 & 2 and Serenity brought me out. I will see Wonder Woman and perhaps one of Sarah's 2007 movies (Southland Tales looks the most interesting). The only movies I've purchased on DVD lately are Serenity and Cruel Intentions, did get a few for Christmas last year but one I haven't even bothered to watch! As boring as it seems to others, I prefer watching DVD's of Buffy, Angel, La Femme Nikita, Firefly, Dead Like Me and a few others.
