New, old, obscure, favorite , or whatever. I like these cause there will be some good ones to watch that I (we) knew nothing about.

Ill start with, "The Professional (1994). If you havent seen it in a while its worth a re-visit, or if you havent seen it at all, its worth considering. 0h, almost forgot, got some badass stuff in it!

Falling Down was bad ass back in the day. Some of the struggles might not be relevant for younger viewers.

Ronin is one (DeNiro) and Outlander (Sean Connery). Pappilion( Steve McQueen) Jeremiah Johnson (Robert Redford). Lonesome Dove (Tommy Lee and Duval). If you just want crazy tough then Raging Bull (DeNiro).

Ditton on the Bourne movies. And if you like those, check out Jack Reacher. Not a huge Tom Cruise fan, but this one's good. Robert Duvall helps.

Ironically, the movie Bad Ass wasn't that at all.

I forgot about a lot of these, like Cobra. Hadnt thought about that ine in a long time. I just watched Manhunter a couple of weeks ago. I never knew it existed, especially the Hannibal tie in.

McGruber is quite possibly the best movie in all genres!

Man on Fire is another film featuring a badass.
Tony Scott originally filmed it with Creasy having an affair with the girl's mother, but the production company forced him to take it out.

Old Boy is no joke. Japanese version is the better one but you have subtitles. The american w/Josh Brolin is good. I think this one may be the biggest surprise to those that dont know about it or have not seen it.

Ive wondered about Sicaro. So its good?

Outlaw Josey Wales is an all timer.

John Wick was a surprise to me. Figured it was a run of the mill Tom Cruise movie but it is really good.

Dont forget some British movies like Layer Cake (it was mentioned), Lock, Stock and two smoking barrels, Bronson and Snatch.
One that many might not know about is Sexy Beast.

Oh yeah, Enter the Dragon.
