Doesn’t matter as long as it is in VHS format. That way I can unwind them and use the tape to somehow create a sail for sailing or to build a shelter of some sort…

5 action movies? Well I’m screwed, not exactly my favourite genre.

Tough to choose just 5 films given that I’d probably watch any action movie no matter how bad it is (in fact – sometimes the worse it is, the better it is). Here’s my list anyway though:
Independence Day
Die Hard
Die Hard: With a Vengeance
The Fifth Element
Total Recall (the Arnie version)

Ohhh, tough. Action covers to many genres.
1. Old Boy
2. The Raid
3. Matrix (1!)
4. Fith Element (I have already watched it enough times to be considered I have already lived on an island)
5. Terminator 2

Diehard 4.0, Sin City, Independence Day, The Transporter and A Few Brave Men(the one with mel gibson as a soldier, just stating in case I got the title wrong)
