Favorite Action Movies

[Swinny]

I didn't include any comic book movies because I consider them a separate genre. Looking forward to this getting started, I'm a sucker for a good action film.

Good idea and that helps me out.

Last day to get your lists sent in guys. And hopefully I will get the first ones up tomorrow morning.

Well with all votes tallied up I am going to start this MoFo. I want to say thanks to those that sent in their lists and make these things possible for us to do them. I would also like to point out that we have no ties for the top 7 which makes me a happy Wang. So without further adieu:

#25​

Black Dynamite (Swinny)








From Dusk Til Dawn (Swinny)






Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol (Charlie)






Hudson Hawk (Booty)






The Rock (Fuji)






24




Heat (Swinny)






Face/Off (Charlie)






Running Man (Booty)






Gamer (Booty)


​

Well there is the first two sets of ties to break this competition out. While there is some good movies here. I loved Heat and there was one sequence with the armored trucks which was great, Running Man is one I own on DVD and love it and love Richard Dawson as that host of the show, Face/Off was one of the better performances of Nic Cage along with Travolta great movie, I loved the Rock as well another Nic Cage movie but I think Connery was still the man in that movie, Hudson Hawk was a decent film and Bruce looked the part just like Warren Beatty looked the part in Dick Tracy, Ghost Protocol was probably one of the best MI movies to date, Dusk til dawn was awesome but more in the horror genre but alot of bullets and I want a gun in the crotch, I have to admit I have not seen Black Dynamite.


I will be back with more tomorrow morning.

Black Dynamite and Dusk til Dawn are both great but I can't put them into the action category. Dusk would have been my #1 if I would have

 

[Shane]

I have literally never seen any of those movies

 

[Lover Boy]

I have literally never seen any of those movies

You're clearly not cultured like the rest of us.

 

[Wang Chung]

as promised here are some more of the list.

23



Dredd (LB)






Death Proof (Swinny)





Casino Royale (Charlie)






22




Bourne Identity (LB)





Inception (Swinny)






Taken (Charlie)





The Transporter (Booty, LB)


​

This batch has some great flicks in here. Dredd was a surprise remake that was great all hail Karl Urban. Death Proof was a great throwback gridhouse film with Kurt Russell. Casino Royale was Daniel Craigs first appearance as the great Bond which was a tremendous debut. The Bourne Identity started a franchise that has done well and the movie wasn't a bad action flick, Damon had a hell of a performance. Inception was one of those movies that you either loved or hated because if you couldn't keep up with what was happening then you would hate it. Taken showed Liam Neeson as a dad who will not stop until he found his daughter while taking out 80 guys to find her. Jason Statham kicked ass and drove a sweet car with his ask no questions about what he was transporting until he did ask a question.


Come back tomorrow to see more of this great list.

I didn't like Dredd at all. It was kinda just The Raid with nowhere near as awesome action and maybe even less plot.

I forgot about the raid while making my list.

 

[Postman Dave]

Inception is one of those films I left out since I was aiming more towards "normal" action films. Had it placed, it would have done highly, rest assured.

Yeah, I don't really consider it an action film in the strictest sense, although there's certainly action in it.
