Out of the ones you put up Rocky, but First Blood is his best film ever.

Great in Rocky 1 and 2. By Rocky 26 I could have throttled him. Same for Rambo.

I dunno, in Rocky Balboa (6) Stallone gave the performance if a lifetime, and the fight scene was something else. In Creed (7) Stollone bunged in another ace performance, amd when the character is diagnosed with cancer but refuses treatment because he felt he had nothing left to live for even I nearly blubbed.

Agreed. Rocky V is the weakest, but even it has its moments. I struggle to think of any other series that has been so consistent over 7 films.

I think Rambo is pretty good film and Stallone is pretty good in it. (the sequels were obviously shyte of course. Another candidate is Lords of Flatbush - Stallone in an early supporting role plays the somewhat simple / slow brother making his way as a wrestler. I was surprised to see he could actually act rather well having seen it on TV some while back. So, since neither are listed I had to vote for Judge Dredd - which I quite like and it's not nearly as bad as claimed. I'd watch it again quite happily - and I'm a huge fan of Dredd & 2000AD comic. The new Karl Urban one is better though

Cliffhanger is a work of unparalleled genius. Violence, hardened criminals, insurmountable odds, lots of wisecracking, big showdown between chief hero and chief villain. John Lithgow shot straight to the top of the nastiest villain charts with that one.I have seen a few of his films, but I really couldn't say which his best was. Cliff hanger was probably the worst I have seen.
There was talk of a remake but, as Total Recall showed us, action films should never be remade.

I can't believe that you wrote such a lengthy analysis of the finer points of Cliffhanger, but totally neglected to mention Craig Fairbrass (also seen in EastEnders and London's Burning)!
Anyway, good to see so many passionate opinions on the work of the great man. It's just a shame most if them are obviously wrong. Everyone knows that his finest work is Demolition Man - close the thread.
