Jean-Claude Van Damme is back! If Mickey Rourke, who worked with Van Damme on Double Team, can do it then by the hammer of Thor so can the "Muscles from Brussels." All of his work is just waiting to be re-discovered or seen and enjoyed for the first time. This all started with hype of a film that was released late in 2008 entitled, JCVD. Part mockumentary, part drama, it revolves around Jean-Claude getting mixed up in a bank robbery in Brussels and the cops thinking Van Damme is the one behind it. I immediately began watching his old movies and finding the inner child in me, that young lad who fell in love with movies in the early 90's. In fact, Van Damme can partly be thanked for exposing me to a world of wonder, magic, triumph and defeat, mystery and utter joy. These days his work is primarily straight to video but there are plenty of great ones from his past to observe, respect and celebrate. Here is a quick list to acquaint yourselves with, whether its for the first time or the 15th. By all means, go out and enjoy some Jean-Claude Van Damme.
Essentials: Kickboxer, Lionheart, Death Warrant, Universal Soldier, Hard Target, Timecop, Sudden Death, In Hell and JCVD

I would just like to add that Jean-Claude is 5'9". I am 5'9', too. :)
One blaring oversight SMG, Bloodsport. My personal JCVD favorite gave us not only the true to life story of Frank Dux and the kumite but also the revelation of "dim mack," or to you westerners, "death touch."
