I'm starting to think an argument could be made for it, that year gave us:
Predator Robocop Lethal Weapon
I'm hardpressed to think of a better trio of action films in the same year

2000s to 2023 best years for movies too, can't take anyone seriously who says any year prior to the 60s was the best.

Oh those two are better films but theyβre very different. Nic Cage and Travolta are at their campy best in Face/Off.
