I've seen quite a few Segal movies over the years, unfortunately I find a lot of them so bad that they all blur together and I've I totally forgotten what they are.
But as no one's replied to the thread yet, I'll get the ball rolling by listing the ones I have really enjoyed.
1. Under Siege - Unquestionably his best film in my opinion. Tommy Lee Jones and Gary Busey are epic, Seagal genuinely kicks ass, there's some nice inventive violence and there's quite a lot of gunplay throughout, which I always prefer to unarmed combat. Seagal also finds some pretty ingenious ways of killing people. Oh and that hot playboy girl gets her breasts out in one of the most token nude scenes ever committed to film.
2. Marked For Death - Also very good. I noticed you'd seen it. Some pretty brutal hand-to-hand fighting, and it's always good to see Keith David on screen. (Love the bit where he runs past a guy who's trying to get back up after being beaten down by Seagal, and just casually smashes him round the head with the butt of his shotgun...)
3. Hard To Kill - I gotta admit, I've never actually seen the beginning of this, but what I did see was pretty good. Plot's crap, but Seagal rams a shotgun down a man's throat and marches him out of the room with it, so at the end of the day who cares?
4. Under Siege 2 - Nowhere near as good as the first Under Siege (the villains, action scenes and setting are all inferior to the original film, and Seagal's black sidekick really pisses me off with how *beep* his acting and 'jokes' are). But it's ultimately more of the same kinda thing, which is good.
5. The Glimmer Man - Keenen Ivory Wayans just isn't as funny as he needed to be as Seagal's streetwise partner in this, but the film's serial killer villain was pretty cool, and it had an awesome fight scene in a restaurant that existed solely to smash the hell out of everything breakable in the room.
They're the only Seagal film's that I can remember enjoying to be honest. There may well be others that I haven't seen, but generally speaking I think his earlier films are generally regarded as his best (before he resorted to total made-for-DVD repetitive crap).
His first feature film is awesome and has an aikido class right in the start of the film, "Above the Law". His second film "Hard to Kill" has some campy mood, but seagal was in top of his game, so I liked it. " On Deadly Ground" is not as bad as many say. And ultimately I highly recommend what I thought was Seagal come back to action "Exit Wounds" which got him back in form against Michael Jai White but that last fight kinda dissaponinted me, it could be much better but turner out forgettable
