Sylvester Stallone - pick your 5 favourite films poll!(non Franchise Movies)

Pick your 5 favourite Stallone starring movies..I excluded the Franchise movies (Rocky, Rambo, Expendables & Escape Plan) and that early one The Party at Kitty & Studs for obvious reasons!

I had to combine the first two to one choice as there was one too many movies to fit in the 25 spaces you are allowed to fill.

 

Escape to victory
Cobra
Cliffhanger
Daylight
Demolition man

 

cannot pick just 5!

1. No Place To Hide / The Lords of Flatbush
2. F.I.S.T.
3. Paradise Alley
4. Nighthawks
5. Escape to Victory
6. Rhinestone
7. Cobra
8. Over the Top
9. Lock Up
10. Tango & Cash
11. Oscar
12. Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot
13. Cliffhanger
14. Demolition Man
15. The Specialist
16. Judge Dredd
17. Assassins
18. Daylight
19. Cop Land
20. Get Carter
21. Driven
22. D-tox
23. Avenging Angelo
24. Bullet to the Head
25. Grudge Match
26. -Rocky Franchise
27. -Rambo Franchise

 

'copland' was oscar worthy IMHO.

 

Hard to pick just 5. I loved Escape to Victory.

But as to quality:

Oscar

Cliffhanger

Demolition Man

Cop Land

Bullet to the Head

Stallone's an entertaining actor who's downright good given a good script and direction.

And I don't care what anyone says, Oscar is a slapstick, comedic gem.

 

Nighthawks
Lock Up
Cop Land

 

Cop Land is Sly's finest hour.
Nighthawks is very underrated.
Cobra is cheesy 80's fun.
Judge Dredd for the War robot and Ian Dury.

I also have a soft spot for Rhinestone due to my love for all things Dolly. Budweiser you created a monster, and they called him Drinkenstein.

 

1. Assassins
2. Cliffhanger
3. Over The Top
4. Cop Land
5. Bullet To The Head

This scene from Over The Top should have him an Academy Award.

 

I liked ' F*I*S*T ' but it 's almost unknown today.

 

Couldn't get further than 3 movies:
Nighthawks
Lock Up
Cop Land

Guess i'm not a Stallone fan. 5 or 6 movies in that list i've never seen but most of the others are crap IMHO.

 

No Death Race 2000?

Definitely Cop Land at the top for me. I also like The Lords Of Flatbush.

 

Cop Land remains his best dramatic film Imho.

 

For all the scenery chewing in Cliffhanger, the opening sequence of that film is still one of the best opening scenes of all time.

Demolition Man is painfully on-the-nose satire.

 

Lords Of Flatbush and Cop Land. That is all.

Edit: Cliffhanger was pretty good too.

 

Nighthawks
Tango & Cash
Cliffhanger
Demolition Man

and for 5...Cobra

Felt Cop Land was a bit overrated myself. Stallone plays...normal guy! Is that really a stretch for an actor?

 

Stallone had 2 great years, 1982 and 1993. My favorite Rocky film (III), First Blood, Cliffhanger and Demolition Man. Outside of that, films like Over the Top, Cobra and Tango & Cash are fun, but also the dumb epitome of what Last Action Hero was satirizing.

 

Only Rocky & Rambo for me. And no, to either of them past III

Tango & Cash was ok........

 

Ok, I'll play...Cliffhanger- Daylight- Copland- Driven- F.I.S.T.

 

Nighthawks
Tango and Cash
Cliffhanger
Demolition Man
Cop Land

 

Cop Land is the one that was a no brainer. Much further down: Cliffhanger, Nighthawks. Then...hard to pick two more...But I'll take Lords of Flatbush. And pass on #5.

 

Cop Land, without a doubt. I have not watched Lords of Flatbush yet. The trailer makes it look a little too low budget/amateur . Is it worth a watch?

 

I guess I don't get out enough, because Rocky is the only one I can name!

 

It’s nice to see Cop Land getting so much love, Stallone really impressed me in that one. Now I’m going to have find it streaming somewhere.

 

Evidently I'm not the only one that thinks Nighthawks is a forgotten classic.

 

Cliffhanger has one of the best opening scenes of ANY movie....
