Vote for your favorite Action movie

This is for everyone.

Each member gets 10 votes. Just post 10 action flicks that you think are the best. I will provide a large list of action movies. Feel free to use other movies not listed if you'd like.

Please just list the 10 movies you like without comment. It will make it easier for me to consolidate the votes. You can post comments after you post your votes. I encourage that.

Remember this is action movies only. I will do other genres later.

This topic will remain open until next week sometime or until I think I get a suitable number of votes. Basically, the more votes, the better.

Once again, this is for everyone. Not just the movie club members.

I will give you the list in the next post.

Any Questions?

A Knight’s Tale
Die Hard
Clash of the Titans
Inception
Gladiator
Terminator 2
Rambo: First Blood
Predator
Troy
The Warriors

Thanks bro

No problem. I had a hard time choosing just 10. There are so many good action movies.

Agreed. If you have time, check out the Comedy vote too.

Shooter
S.W.A.T.
Restrepo
The Bourne Identity
The Bourne Supremacy
The Bourne Ultimatum
The Transporter
Lord of War
Braveheart
Black Hawk Down




Can I vote for a movie more than once? Because I would give Shooter 5 votes >_>.


EDIT: Retracting a vote and replacing. Forgot about Lord of War, I LOVED that movie.

Black Hawk Down
The Hurt Locker
Dirty Harry
The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly
The Deer Hunter
LOTR Series
Gran Torino
Unforgiven
Dark Knight
Inception

Dirty Harry
Magnum Force
The Terminator
Sudden Impact
Full Metal Jacket
Saving Private Ryan
Bad Boys 2
Raiders of the Lost Arc
First Blood
Red Dawn


Wacco- I think The Deer Hunter would be more classified as a drama then an action movie. Fucking amazing non the less.

Aliens
Predator
Jurassic Park
Crank 2
The Boondock Saints
The Matrix
Sin City
Inception
Pulp Fiction
Terminator 2

Crank (series)
Goldeneye
Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the lost Ark (and Doom and Crusade)
Die Hard (1 and 2)
Lethal Weapon (series)
Mad Max (series)
Predator 1
Terminator (1 and 2)
Rambo (series)
Independence Day

Note: Kung Fu Hustle is more of a comedy, and so is Mars Attacks. Are you also going to make a "War" section? I don't see Apocalypse Now, Full Metal Jacket, Saving Private Ryan, or The Platoon on there.

*has only seen about 5 of these movies*

I agree, but I ran out of ideas haha

I can't vote simply because I am afraid of your list.

Maybe you should do best action movie by year then once we have a winner for each year they square off.

Batman Begins
The Dark Knight
Predator
Aliens
The Matrix
Robocop
Shogun Assassin
Star Trek (2009)
Blackhawk Down
District 9

Took me forever to choose the tenth one. Still not sure about it lol but it is one of my favourites.

Stargate barely got left out, and Alien would have been in that list had I not felt it was more horror/thriller than actually an action film.

...im not ignoring this thread. I just need time to think.

Ummm....

LotR series
The hurt locker
Black Hawk Down
Band of Brothers (technically an HBO, but I have it on DVD)

....

too many choices/movie I havent seen for me to make a selection

Air Force One
Black Dynamite
Cloverfield
Inception
Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
Kill Bill Vol.1
Kill Bill Vol.2
Ocean's Eleven

AND GODDAMN CON AIR BITCHES

Re: Con Air: lol, Cameron Poe! Nick Cage gets some of the best character names in films - Stanley Goodspeed, Caster Troy.....I'm sure there are others

Now my list:

Die Hard
Predator
The Matrix
Hard Boiled
Demolition Man
GI Joe - Rise Of Cobra (fuck yeah!)
Independence Day
Jurassic Park
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Shoot 'Em Up

Hard to narrow it down - got a couple of guilty pleasures on my list (so, so tempted to go for Doom.....)

Working on my favourite comedies, but I'll be watching The Hangover in a day or two and everyone's told me that's so good I might want to add it to the list!

I think I'll find it much easier to narrow down 10 comedies than 10 action films, either way.

Will there be sci-fi and/or horror categories?

I will do Sci-Fi movies and Horror Movies in my next two votes.

Now we're talking.

Ok The we go.

Aliens
Escape from LA
Independence Day
Stargate
The Matrix
Raiders of the Lost Ark
Ong-Bak
Desperado
DieHard
Blade Runner

Sweet

Ok, my votes will be the end of the action votes. Once I make my selections, no more will be accepted. We will movie to horror next.

I'm gonna flood this with a few Comic Book flicks.

Spider-Man
IronMan
IronMan2
Hulk (Norton)
The Dark Knight
Blade 1
The Watchmen
Hellboy
Inglourious Basterds
Ransom



Also, I agree that some movies may fall in other genres. You will most likely see them in a couple lists.

Also, I will be removing votes of "series". Votes are for single movies. Listing all star wars or all blades gives you multiple votes beyond 10. It screws it all up. Sorry.

Grrr... to you. Ok, I'll take one more.

Ok, due to a tie between 8 and 13, here are your top thirteen Action flicks:


Predator 6 votes
The Matrix 6 votes
Black Hawk Down 5 votes
Die Hard 4 votes
Inception 4 votes
Raiders of the Lost Ark 4 votes
Aliens 4 votes
Terminator 2 3 votes
The Dark Knight 3 votes
Sin City 3 votes
Independence Day 3 votes
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade 3 votes
Jurrassic Park 3 votes

Good list, nothing disagreeable there.

Yeah it's solid.

That is a solid list! Nice!

If any of those repeat on the Wester/War, Scifi, or horror lists I will move them over to even out the categories.

Action and Comedies are done.

We will do a Drama/Suspense, Sci-Fi, Horror, and a Western/War vote soon.

Any other must have categories?

Maybe an animated movies category? Could include anything from Pixar to Manga/Anime movies. Or perhaps they can just fit into the the regular lists ie. Ghost In The Shell being sci-fi etc.?

I thought about an Anime genre, but I dont think it's strong enough to win the tournament. Plus I know very little about that genre. I may do animated.

Good solid stuff, but action movies after the 80's-early 90's lost their charm imo. Not that material after is actually bad.

I find the fact that The Warriors were not on this list disturbing. It gave us the most iconic taunting ever, clanking bottles together for attention, and a mob of black men in karate attire....come on. :/

It was.

Die Hard
Rush Hour
True Lies
Predator
Saving Private Ryan
A Bridge Too Far
Blade
Smoking Aces
Jurassic Park
The Matrix

Little late there Milk.

Fight Club (is that action?)
Blade (first one)
Constantine
Die Hard with a Vengence
Inception
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
Lord of War
Pirates of the Caribean (first one)
Running Scared
The Matrix

It's over people. Cmon now...

Sorry... been SLAMMED at work
