Movie Genre - Top Ten Action Films

I really like ’ A Perfect Storm ’
Great musical score.
Very well cast.
Just one of those movies, anytime I flick it on, I invariably watch the rest of the movie.

More Drama than Action, I suppose.

I do love a good list thread :slight_smile:

John Wick (I can’t believe it’s not on every list)
Atomic Blonde
Kill Bill 1
Die Hard
The Bourne Identity
The Matrix
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl
Lethal Weapon 1
Casino Royale

It’s a pretty broad genre to easily narrow it down to 10…I’m sure I’ve probably missed one or two that might make the list.

Good to see Big Trouble in Little China pop up a couple of times.

Fun movie.

I’m happy Big Trouble is showing up on a few lists.

Apparently Mortal Combat was totally ripped off this film.

Kurt Russell made so many good films around then.

The Thing is another classic.
