3. Gabe Walker - Cliffhanger (1993)
Two great films in one year, 1993 really saw Stallone at his peak quite literally in Cliffhanger. Hes Gabe Walker (now there's a manly name), expert mountain climber (of course) haunted by a past mistake (who isn't?) who gets mixed up with crooked government types, briefcases of stolen cash, and John Lithgow doing an accent that makes him sound like Stewie from Family Guy. Once again, its all tremendous fun and quite breathtaking at times with the actors clinging onto the side of sheer rock faces like, well, their lives depended on it. Its much more than just Rambo in the snow though, its funny, its exciting, its everything that a proper blockbuster film should be larger than life, and thats what makes Stallone such a perfect fit. Apparently the climbing techniques are bobbins - but I'm unlikely to ever go mountaineering, so I don't care - and theres a ton of improbable co-incidences, but its big, dumb, exciting and still gives me vertigo just watching it.
