Top 10 Action Movies

Action film is a film genre where in the story is largely told through physical action as opposed to dialogue. The action typically involves individual efforts on the part of the hero. While action has long been an element of films, the "Action film" as a genre of its own began to develop in the 1970s. The genre is closely linked with the thriller and adventure film genres.

While action films have traditionally been a reliable source of revenue for movie studios, relatively few action films garner critical praise. While action films have traditionally been aimed at male audiences, from the early teens to the mid-30s, many action filmmakers from the 1990s and 2000s added female heroines in response to the times, glorifying the strong female archetype.

I tell you why all the hate.. Die hard on 7th place... bitch please... that's the ultimate action movie of all time, it set the standards!!!

[JoshDavidReyes]

-_- this should be called good action movies but none are actually from the 21st century

[AceNHobart]

nevermind, keep the music, i spoke too soon heheh

[AceNHobart]

[Mamba144]

oh man, 31 likes and 31 dislikes, the choice is up to me..

hm, well, die hard is a little low on the list, none of the Terminator movies are on it, and Raiders of the Lost Ark is not so much an action movie than an adventure movie...

so....... ya

[mateo2711ify]

I love that music <3

[heavytom89]

good list dude but I have to disagree on some of the places you have ranked the movies, i would have put die hard an lethal weapon over all the others exept goldfinger and raiders but thats just my opinion

[Lurkingherbs]
