I'm very fond of action/adventure movies. I like the thrill, the mystery, the action, and of course, the sexy, rugged, adventurer who is usually bigger than life, and despite insurmountable odds, fight the bad guys, find the treasure and win the winsome lady.
Topping my lists are the following:
Harrison Ford's Indiana Jones (The Indiana Jones movies)
Brendan Fraser's Rick O'Connell (The Mummy movies)
Matthew McConaughey's Dirk Pitt (Sahara)
Michael Douglas' Jack T. Colton (Romancing the Stone movies)
Nicholas Cage's Ben Gates (National Treasure movies)
Richard Chamberlain's Allen Quartermain (Allen Quartermain movies)
Are any of these guys on your list? If so, cast your votes on who is your fave. Or if you have other names, you would like to add, feel free to do so.
The poll is on!

You have a lot of good choices listed. I guess I would add: Jason Bourne (Matt Damon from The Bourne trilogy), Neo (Keanu Reeves from The Matrix trilogy), and even though he is made fun of now, I'd still add Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise of The Mission Impossible movies).

My favorite action movies have been the Indiana Jones franchise, the Die Hard franchise and the Lethal Weapon franchise....Ironically, all three of them started out to be trilogies and added a fourth later on (maybe that gives us some hope that the Pirates of the Caribbean are not done yet either?). I don't know what the reasoning behind the fourth Indy and the fourth Lethal Weapon movies were but I saw an interview with Bruce Willis about why he agreed to bring back John McClane and he said it was because Hollywood has come to rely too heavily on computers to create action and forget to employ real explosions and real stunts so he wanted to give Die Hard to a new generation of action fans.
So....to explicitly answer the question at hand:
Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford)
John McClane (Bruce Willis)
Martin Riggs (Mel Gibson)/Roger Murtaugh (Danny Glover)
Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp)/Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) (it all depends on which one you consider to be the hero, I suppose)
