In the wake of the AFI America's 100 Greatest Movies, I am opening nominations for the2scoops 50 Great Movies That Kick So Much Ass They Should Be Arrested For Assault. Movies that make you pump your fist in the air, you quote relentlessly, that leave you looking for any other word than "awesome". The ones that turn you back into the kid who first fell in love with movies and yelled out when Han came back to save Luke.
Preliminary Nominees:
"The Man Who Would Be King" (1975) with Michael Caine and Sean Connery
"Big Trouble in Little China" (1986)
"Night of the Living Dead" (1968)
"Die Hard" (1988)
"Seven Samurai" (1954)
"The Blues Brothers" (1980)
"The Italian Job" (1969 version)
"Heat" (1995)
"Cool Hand Luke" (1967)
"Kung Fu Hustle" (2004)
"Evil Dead 2" (1987)
"Red Dawn" (1984)
Start adding in comments. Once we get enough, I'll send out the ballots

I vote for Blues brothers and the most awesome car chase/ crash scenes of all time!
First one that jumps out to me is Big Trouble in Little China.
What a great flick!
Blues Brothers is another great one, one of the best moments was the bar scene with the never-ending "Rawhide" number.
Die Hard, for the everyman with job woes and woman troubles caught up in the middle of a heist.
So many great nominees to chose from...

Goonies
