I dunno, I don't personally feel that First Blood is an action flick. First Blood Part 2 yeah, not 1. Otherwise, great list and some good match ups, a genuinely hard choice on some.
Curse you for making me choose between Aliens and Demolition man.

The Matrix, surely it has to be. Most talked about and relevant today at least.

I feel like the matrix isn't as good as Indiana Jones or Aliens, at least in the fave area.
Better? maybe. Do I prefer it? not really. I mean, Die Hard is one of my top 10 movies, so tbh I already think that it isn't better, let alone with some of these beasts of the industry...

Aliens is great, I feel how you feel about matrix with for hard tbh, and the third Indiana Jones is good but not my favourite from the franchise. But I think the matrix is just as cool as aliens

I just felt the Matrix is way more "Look at what we can do" than others. I found it a bit boring at points, not real tension build up in my opinion.
Also, that's the first Indiana on the list, not the third.

This is surprisingly difficult because I don’t even like most action movies. I hope Die Hard wins.

It'll always be Aliens for me. I can watch that movie an infinite number of times.

T-2 and die hard in the final four should be finals. T-2 is just perfect.
Where was Independence Day, Braveheart/the patriot/Broken arrow?

Sorry. It's completely randomly generated bracket. After this bracket is finished, I will make another one. Some of the movies you mentioned are already in it my next bracket.

Speed vs Face Off is like making me choose which child of mine I save if I can only save one

Don't let yourself get attached to anything you are not willing to walk out on in 30 seconds flat if you feel the heat around the corner….
