Aww, I like Assassins as well... bit of no-brainer that wants to have a brain but that's kinda the point...
... good actioner really.

I love me some Stallone action! I'm a really big fan of him and his movies. Indeed through watching the Rocky movies loads of times as a kid he was probably the first of my favourite actors. And from Rocky on I kept discovering his films and I'm struggling to think of a single film of his I actually don't like (well maybe Rocky V)
I love the Rocky films (particularly the first and fourth) and the Rambo series (especially First Blood). Also a huge fan of Over the Top, Tango & Cash, Cliffhanger, Cobra, Demolition Man, Assassins and Cop Land. And I can't believe no-one has mentioned the brilliantly ridiculuos Escape to Victory. I mean come on, Stallone and Pele in the same movie? Epic!
This has just reminded I still have a few of his to check out - Death Race 2000, Nighthawks, Lock Up, Specialist

Nighthawks is really good. Death Race 2000, as you should know, is bloody brilliant.

After watching Cop Land the other night, Stallone is now held higher in my regard. He was really, really good in that, even upstaging De Niro and Keitel!

And definitely check out The Specialist, JayDee. It's one of my Stallone favourites (it's a pretty bad movie, though). It's well directed and James Woods is great as the villian. Plus, you get to see some early 90's Sharon Stone

As I said he seems like a really good guy, nice and very honest about his shortcomings in terms of acting ability and some of the films he has made. Reminds me that I'll need to give his terrific interview with AICN from a few years back another read.

I have always found the first 4 ROCKY films and the first two RAMBO films totally watchable. I thought he was amazing in COPLAND...possibly his finest performance. For mindless fun, you can't beat TANGO & CASH and I'm also a big fan of a rarely-talked about film of his called DAYLIGHT.

Nothing but utter respect for Sly - he was never given a chance, and did it all on his own. The man is proof that if u want something bad enough u can achieve it. I mean, he can't act for toffee, but he has bags of charisma. Kudos to sly. Plus he looks great for his age, unlike poor old Arnie.

I mentioned COPLAND in the under rated thread, and I'll mention it again, not only is it a great movie, with a great ensemble cast: Ray Liotta, Harvey Keitel,Robert DeNiro,Robert Patrick, Cathy Moriarty, and more. But what was great about the movie is you got to see the "vulnerable" Stallone, he gained weight/fat for the role, played kind of a bumbling love struck sheriff who was deaf in one ear, etc, just a great watch.
Other then the obvious ones mentioned, Expendables 1 and 2 are great because they know they are "Bad," good movies, if that makes sense, its one of those, so cheesy its good type things.
However, Bullet to the Head was very disappointing.
I really enjoyed the remakes of Get Carter, just a great melancholic revenge movie, kind of Sly's answer to Mel Gibson's Payback, which I think is great as well.
Was disappointed with the new "Rocky," however, as a mindless action movie goes the new "Rambo," succeeded on all levels. I laugh whenever i watch this movie, because here's John Rambo/Sly living in Burma, like so distant of a place, its not even considered third world, living off of just snake meat, and the guy is like 230lbs all muscle, jacked, all of snake meat.
Enjoyed his smaller role in SHADE as well
