15 Greatest Ever Guilty Pleasure Action Movies

14. The Running Man

I had to put only one Arnold Schwarzenegger movie on this list, because otherwise the whole list would be him. The Running Man is Arnold at his most quip-tastic. This is the type of movie he never should have stopped making. A dystopian future, an over-the-top premise and a man wrongfully accused seeking justice. They really played to Arnold's strengths in this movie, his acting is serviceable as always and his action scenes are engineered to make him look great. He yells most of his dialogue and the fight scenes are usually just great displays of his strength. All the other actors are there to do the boring stuff like push the plot forward and provide exposition. This isn't a movie you'll want to display on your shelf, but it is the kind you'll stop and watch on cable every time you see it. Arnold is there to look cool and spout some of his best one liners, like "Here is Sub-Zero, now plain zero!" Richard Dawson as the corrupt game show host is also great. His role as corrupt game master is a fun contrast to his Family Feud days.The best parts of this movie are, of course, Arnold. Best Line: "Hello cutie pie, one of us is in big trouble." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ceegnWSENQ
