None of these are action flicks but for comedies, I second Beerfest, especially if you have not seen it before.
The Hangover (the first one) is very good, but most have seen it relatively recently in the last couple of years.
Others that may work:
Risky Business
Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle
Monty Python's Life of Brian or Holy Grail

Dear lord... how about some movie suggestions from the past decade?? LOL
Avatar.
Lotsa gun action and skin. Although it's blue alien skin.
Fast and the Furious. Uhmm.. any of them.
Lotsa fast car action and skin.
The Hangover.
If you want a comedy and skin. Hilarious Asian MALE skin.
It's cool to have a "no brainer" movie playing in the background. Where people can enjoy the movie at pretty much any point. Coming and going. In and out of conversations.

So the ending could have been better...
Did you watch Titanic wondering if the ship was really going to sink, too?

John Carpenter's "The Thing" never disappoints. If they have never seen the director's cut of "Aliens," then that's always a satisfying re-watch. A little know Vietnam movie (probably the first one) called "The Boys of Company C" is "fun" to watch. "Platoon," and the original "Apocalypse Now" are always crowd pleasers too.

Straw Dogs is an excellent film. Susan George is, ahem, unforgettable.
A good black comedy/action film from the Pulp Fiction-type genre is Thursday (1998).
