I'd have to agree with Die Hard as one of the best action movies. The first Indiana Jones movie and the first Matrix film both qualify for some sort of action hall of fame though.

But it depends how wide you set the genre. The IMDB's "top rated action movies" includes Leon, Lord of the Rings and Sin CIty - which are all very good. But I'd be reluctant to view those films as "action", as even though they may include a fair amount of action, that's hardly the primary draw of the movie.
