Or, in that category anything by Sergio Leone. One of my favorites beyond the ones you mentioned is C'era una volta il West {Once Upon a Time in The West}.

I tend to go for certain "Guy Movie" directors rather than specific Action stars, and movies whose plots are not dumbed down to mind-numbing.

Directors whose movies I tend to like;

• Sergio Leone<>
  
• Akira Kurosawa<>
  
• John Carpenter <>
  
• James Cameron<>
  
• Paul Verhoeven<>
  
• Quentin Tarantino<>
  
• Luc Besson<>
  [st]While I can enjoy mindless blow things up, run away from falling buildings, high speed chase shoot em up with mini-gun type movies. They tend to be formulaic, and id satisfying in a grunt, snort and vomit blood sort of way.
  
  I find now I prefer movies whose outcome is not predictable from the first 20 minutes. Typically, once the characters are introduced and I get a feel for the protagonists, the plot challenge is revealed, I quickly deduce the formulaic "Hollywood" solution and quickly become bored as my predictions slowly are confirmed. *Yawn*
