And what, no Die Hard?

Die Hard is far too intelligent for a dumb but fun action flick. I love Die Hard - I think its one of the best action films ever made, but its not as brainless as the other films the mini-fest would be showing.

And if you dispute Equilibrium, then something like The One or The Transporter could easily replace it.
