Of course they are; the '80s and '90s were the glory days of action movies. The person I was replying to didn't ask for new films with strong leading men, they just asked for films with strong leading men, so I mentioned some of my favorites.
That said, there are still many modern films with strong leading men, they're just - IMO - not as good as the heyday of Ahnold, Bruce Willis, etc. Jason Statham, Vin Diesel, and more are modern action stars, and all have tons of movies to their names. A lot of other guys do both action and "normal" films: Clive Owen, George Clooney, Brad Pitt, and more. There are tons of current strong male leads in films, you just have to know which films. =o)
I, however, love butt-kicking girls. Buffy FTW! Katniss FTW! Heck, even Hermione FTW! I don't object to the idea of physically or intellectually adept female protagonists, because it's about darn time, and when I was a kid, the only physically strong women I had to look up to were the Power Rangers.
