[Milk N Cookies]

Let's not forget this gem

Damn..props to his agent.

It's good but one of the greatest of all time? Nah. Too much movie history to put him up there right now. And there have been at least three or four action classics that have come out in the past 15 years

we gonna act like bruce willis and arnold don't exist?

or hanks and deniro ? or leo da gawd?

 

[Ricky Church]

I like the Rock almost as much as the next stan but the majority of his movies are

it always looks promising in the trailers and when I finally watch the movie, it leaves me asking "what the fukk did I just watch?"

 

[Da King]

No classics


Jesse Ventura been in more classics then Rock

He's talking a 15 year run though so let's examine that: Arnold's run really started in 82 with Commando so 15 years would be to 97 and his box office definitely topped out at that point

Bruce's 15 year was from 88-2003: Die Hard, Die Hard 2, last boy scout, pulp fiction, die hard with a vengeance, 12 monkeys, last man standing, fifth element, the jackal, armageddon..etc..yeah I'd say Bruce's run of being in demand rivals Rocky on this one.

Hanks, Deniro, Pacino and Leo can definitely contend for that type of run. Not to mention Jimmy Stewart if we want to take it way way back

arnold was in batman and robin that year

his last movie to turn a major profit was end of days..shyt mad 211 mil worldwide. that was 99. after that he started going down with the 6th day and everything after. but terminator 3 was in 03 and that made a shyt ton

and rock was a laughing stock with scorpion king and that was 02 so im not sure exactly when his "run" starts

i didn't include pacino because his movies never pulled in crazy amounts of money but he's there from a critical and quality standpoint . at least earlier in his career

 

[Bryan Danielson]

While I admit, we all can laugh at that..... lets not start pretending like we cant pull skeletons out of a lot of other peoples closets

Well I'm thinking of Arnold being in demand and the aura around him. True Lies was his last really solid flick across the board where he proved he was the king of the box office. After that, it was hit or miss at best.

the raid 1 and 2???????

I agree those were really good movies (really one more so over the other) but I dont think those are classics

what about mel gibson?

 

[MartyMcFly]

what about mel gibson?

If we say Mel's run starts with Lethal Weapon..which was his first really really big hit in this country and made him a star:

A lot of hit and miss too. There are the 4 lethal weapon flicks, braveheart, conspiracy theory, payback, ransom, Maverick

Pocahontas, the patriot and what women want. oh and Signs. But there's a lot of duds in there too as far as box office is concerned

Still breh he was a legit star and had that aura for a long time. And then he dissed the Jews...
