   Hey?? this list is real empty!!!! who can deny any Bruce Lee flick as bieng full of action??? or, how about the original first blood?? or even any Jet-li movie?? you gotta give it up to some of the martial atrs as some of the best action movies of all time!!!! yyyeeeaaahhh!!!!

2. on 20 Feb 2009 at 1:26 pm#2tripp2094

   Are there any “REAL” action movie fans out there??? how could you leave out “Independence Day”??? or any Arnold S. movie??? Damn? I could’ve sworn he was only one of the biggest action stars of ALL TIME!!!! C’mon now, the original “Terminator” is surely a classic if there evr was one!!!

   I have two additions that should have been on here: The Rambo trilogy at the very least I & II) and Rocky III and Rocky IV. As for the Rambo movies, they have a good story line in the first two giving some background on John Rambo as well as a glimpse into what soldiers from that era had to deal with when they came home. It also offers up good action sequences that are not unrealistic and well choreographed considering no CGI in the 80′s. The Rocky III & IV installments are the best because it shows a sports hero and the trying times he faces while on top. It is not all sunshine and roses and shows that you need to keep fighting for what you want. The fights are well choreographed and the script allows you to immerse yourself in the story feeling what the characters feel as the movie goes on.

6. on 02 Apr 2009 at 9:20 pm#6TyphieTee

   What the Crap? “Iron Man” “Transformers” “Eagle Eye” “Die Hard” “Jumper” and about 10 others that I could think of. Maybe those are the best movies of the 90′s but wake up people!!!!!!! Fight club was the stupidist movie EVER!!!!! And whoever mad the list was obviously some nerd that had no life liveing in his gradmas basement. REALLY? We’re counting starwars and lord of the rings????? stupidist movie list of all time!!!!!!!!!!!!!

7. on 03 Apr 2009 at 1:29 pm#7Yeahh

   “Iron Man” “Transformers” “Eagle Eye” “Die Hard” “Jumper”…?!

   No dude.. just no. Except for Iron Man, the others are all plain horrible pieces of sh*t movies that you just want to take them and shove ‘em up the directors’ asses.

   i don’t think the world’s top action movies can be summed up in a list of 10, without making everyone happy. as for me, i’m good with this list that didn’t fail to recognize the LOTR trilogy

   [ “Iron Man” “Transformers” “Eagle Eye” “Die Hard” “Jumper” and about 10 others that I could think of. Maybe those are the best movies of the 90’s but wake up people!!!!!!! Fight club was the stupidist movie EVER!!!!! ]

   Transformers? Eagle Eye? Jumper? … Jesus… three of the worst blockbuster movies of the 90s. You have a thing for terrible leading role males?

   I feel the original post may be a little off my definition of “Action Movie” I wouldn’t call Fight Club an action movie, probably not the LotR titles either. Action movies conjure up movies like Bloodsport, Terminator, James Bond titles in my mind.

    kill bill ?!

11. on 04 May 2009 at 8:54 am#11nicholas

    jumper?!?!?! omg that was the dumbest movie i have seen in a long time. ill bet you liked that movie push as well. shoot, i could go on forever about what is wrong with these lists. first off, die hard, as cheesy as a movie as it was, is a classic, along with lethal weapons. star wars???? thats not action, and neither is the lord of the rings. those were fantasy style movies. where was face off on that list? how about rambo part one and four? hell even con air has more of a spot on this list then star wars.

12. on 06 May 2009 at 9:21 am#12jason

    best action flicks of all time in only 10 choices next to impossible, 100 choices sure no probs.I can see where the person who compiled this list is coming from i am 36 yrs old to me as a boy superman original was action star wars was action clint eastwood and the like the so called “spaghetti westerns” were action.but when compared to todays action movies like wanted,eagle eye,the transporter,300 and the list goes on.what about not that long ago such greats like rambo,predator,terminator,the punisher,spawn,die hard.action genre based movies move us in a way that strikes passion and empathy anger and sadness victory and defeat and such and so forth.so forge on movie lovers and continue to push the envelope whoever and wherever you are.May the force be with you.

16. on 13 May 2009 at 6:11 pm#16j davis

    some of these obscure titles might be good in their right~for anyone who might have actually seen them???? they should not even be considered for a “best of” list if they have never been tried in the court of movie viewer opinion and found popular!
    some u forgot
    Lethal Weapon, Speed, Die Hard(i cannot believe that you left these out of action greats), Equilibrium, The One, Spiderman, etc etc
    are you sure you are old enough to be writing these types of lists?

17. on 13 May 2009 at 6:19 pm#17j davis

    Terminator, Jurassic Park, Transporter, James Bond, Mission Impossible, Rush Hour, 48 HOurs, Gone in 60 Sec, The Rock, The Mummy, Verticle Limit, Cliff Hanger,

    OK OK U Get the Picture, I’m done now!

18. on 13 May 2009 at 6:24 pm#18j davis

    Star Trek, ok now I am really done!

19. on 16 May 2009 at 9:07 pm#19ian

    i find it hard to really love the modern “action” movie. The forcing of special effects in every scene takes away from plot and character development by focusing on the next big shot. An action movie should also have an underlying theme that makes a person feel there inner strengths, not just their muscles ( an evil horde vs a few heros, standing up for the weak, loss of a loved one.) There are the occational new action movie but I tend to reflect in awe on the how the 90′s kicked butt.
    Die Hards (1-3)…Magnificent Seven (we deal in lead)…Braveheart…Last of the Mohicans…Terminater (1+ 2)…300…Pulp Fiction…Spiderman (SUCKS and after the last X-Men, those are starting to look gay too)
    ***What happened to Realism being a part of our culture. It shouldnt be underrated.
    Action movies need good soundtracks tambien

20. on 21 May 2009 at 4:53 am#20AHMAD

    LOTR must be at the top of the list and about pirates of the carribean you are telling me that the dark night is better ……………..Narnia………………Ink heart……………pan’s labyrinth what about them?

21. on 06 Jun 2009 at 9:00 pm#21rambo

    where is first blood? best action flick ever!

22. on 06 Jun 2009 at 9:37 pm#22what

    theres better actions movie ujum, yeah, this page is making me read and i dont like to read, but this think makes reading a bored… consult with the fans of movies to pick to best action and best movies ever.. dont consult with actors, they just pick the movies of the greaters actors ever, that can not be count.. everybody can act, everybody can make a movie.. we all have that talent, because thas easy, acting is not a real job and is not that hard.. so pick real and betters movie than that..

    Hello People Aliens!

27. on 20 Jun 2009 at 9:42 pm#27Kane

    Braveheart and Gladiator??? Definitely in top 5 and not mentioned!!

28. on 27 Jun 2009 at 8:53 pm#28The Creature

    I definitely don’t agree with all these movies being on an action list but I must comment on The Good, the bad and the ugly. That film is one of my favorite western films of all time! Brilliantly directed by Sergio Leone. I love his camera work and all the extreme close ups!

29. on 23 Jul 2009 at 6:22 am#29What the hell

    All i have to say is TRANSFORMERS !!!!! and I agree with the BRUCE LEE comment. GAME OF DEATH and ENTER THE DRAGON BABY!!!!! ALIENS, TERMINATORS, but not 3rd FACE OFF, BLADE TRILOGY, BAD BOYS 2, TOTAL RECALL, LETHAL WEAPONS DAMNIT WHO MADE THAT DAMN LIST U R NO MOVIE GURU!!!!!

30. on 06 Aug 2009 at 12:31 pm#30MIke Z

    Braveheart!!! If you haven’t seen it… you should. The movie will speak for itself.

31. on 14 Aug 2009 at 11:26 am#31Some guy with brains, unlike most of the retards who posted here

    For all the retards who spoke about bruce or jet lie (is that his name?), transformers, and all the crap arround, u should throw urself off a building, ur a disgrace to the human race, because of not having any pieace of brain in that cretin head of urs.
    The man here made a list of legendary movies, movies who actually are apreciated by ppl with brains, movies who got nominations, oscars, not commercial movies like lol-transformers (only a 13 year old kid who likes cartoons, gets influenced by some special effects – of poor quality actually- could like this so called action movie, again who said this movie should be in a top has to throw himself off a building, maybe in the top of “all time worst, joke and commercial movies for fucktards”).

    The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly is a bad movie? Who said that? i wanna shoot that loser for his stpudity. Kid, grow up and start apreciating some quality movies, stop wathing cartoon network.
    Fight club i agree, isnt really an action movie, but hell no to the one who said it sucks, ur one piece of a stupid retard with lack of any interligence, but no wonder, to understand the message of that movie u need a brain, no wonder it sucked for u, my bad.

    “#4Kirsten Burke

    omg no twilight is the best movie overr allll of them”

    Sweety, we are talking about action movies here, not novels.

    And i also agree that some important movies are missing, and i would replace some star wars episodes with them.
    Leon the professional
    Heat (must-see movie, simply epic)
    Die hard trilogy (one of a kind indeed)
    Once upon a time in america (idk if i can call it an action movie, but its one of the best movies in the wold imo, a real classic)
    Terminator (1 & 2 only-rest are jokes)
    A guy said braveheart and gladiator,i totally agree, especially braveheart.
    And many others, but they simply dont deserve to be in a top 10, nor top 30 and so.

    Almost forgot:

    “#29What the hell

    All i have to say is TRANSFORMERS !!!!! and I agree with the BRUCE LEE comment. GAME OF DEATH and ENTER THE DRAGON BABY!!!!! ALIENS, TERMINATORS, but not 3rd FACE OFF, BLADE TRILOGY, BAD BOYS 2, TOTAL RECALL, LETHAL WEAPONS DAMNIT WHO MADE THAT DAMN LIST U R NO MOVIE GURU!!!!!” – another example of human stupidity, go to hell retard, and play ur nerd games there, but dont talk crap
    Einstein said that 2 things are infinite in this world, the universe and the human stupidity, and he wasnt sure about the universe.
    Most of the comments here prooved me he was absolutely right.

    PS: forgive my english and gramm, i know i’ve made mistakes

32. on 14 Aug 2009 at 1:40 pm#32Ahmad

    LOTR trilogy should be in the top of the list

33. on 29 Aug 2009 at 4:47 pm#33Movie buff

    BEFORE ALL YOU BRAIN SURGEONS START RAMBLIN ON ABOUT HOW GOOD SOME MOVIES ARE….LET’S MAKE ONE THING “PERFECTLY” CLEAR!!! KNOW THE GENRE OF YOUR MOVIE YOUR BRAGGIN ABOUT BEFORE YOU GO THROWING IT INTO ANY LIST OF “TOP RATED” MOVIES??? THERE IS A “REAL” DIFFERENCE BETWEEN… SCI-FI, MARTIAL ARTS, DRAMA & WESTERNS!!! JUST BECAUSE IT MAYBE A GOOD MOVIE, WITH LOTS GOING ON IN IT, DOESN’T MAKE IT A LOCK FOR A GREAT OR CLASSIC ACTION MOVIE…

34. on 23 Sep 2009 at 11:57 am#34yusuf

    the list is not bad.. but i totally agree with Ahmad

35. on 26 Sep 2009 at 10:46 am#35K

    I agree, I will nto say these are bad movies, they are all great! .. But somehow there are many more, like even Rambo, but kudos for trying to name the top action movies. Like bubble wrapping horror into one bag, messy. There is so much more to action flicks.

36. on 08 Oct 2009 at 6:32 am#36Movie Buff

55. on 30 Nov 2009 at 5:43 am#55blair

    Yeah i agree with alot of people saying “300″.
    i gotta say that was one good action movie.
    Some action movies i think should be up on that list;
    Die hards
    Con air ( One of my favourite action packed movies)
    Fast and furious 1-4
    Daredevil ( i loved it )
    The punisher
    Kill bill 1+2
    Blade 1-3 ( Wesley Snipes was great )
    Twister
    Mr and Mrs smith ( wasnt bad, prob not top movie but thought id mention it)

    Also would “the day after tomorrow” be an action movie??? i have no idea what it would be classified. If it is action then i would vote that.

56. on 30 Nov 2009 at 5:44 am#56blair

    and independence day!!!!

57. on 07 Dec 2009 at 1:20 am#57Valiant

59. on 28 Dec 2009 at 3:41 am#59MovieFan

    You know, I read these comments and wonder what on earth makes people think there is any objective way to measure how good a movie is. I don’t think I really have to go on about how subjective any form of art is since some will like it and some will not, but arguing over exactly which ones are the best is just silly.
    So while I think you’re all idiots for having such stupid ways of getting your point across, I do thank you all for the suggestions and will be seeing many of the movies listed both in the original list and the comments that come after.
    In particular, Leon The Professional sounds good, and Se7en sounds good.

60. on 28 Dec 2009 at 3:48 am#60MovieFan

    Oh, and I suppose I should leave some personal favorites in case anyone thinks my opinion may be worth anything.
    Taken, The Dark Knight, Matrix, and there are several good martial arts films like Ring of Fire.

61. on 28 Dec 2009 at 4:09 am#61MovieFan

    One more edit and only because I was reminded of these elsewhere:
    Sin City
    V for Vendetta
    District 9
    Enjoy!

62. on 01 Jan 2010 at 3:03 am#62India

    Here’s some movies that should be on that list…
    V for Vendeta
    District 9
    Taken
    Blade Trilogy
    Die Hard
    and
    I am Legend.
    Now I like your list but maybe you should extend it to the top 15. But think of it this way…at least it isn’t as bad as the top 10 best romance movies! lol

63. on 01 Jan 2010 at 3:09 am#63India

    I forgot…
    Independance Day
    Mr. and Mrs. Smith
    300
    T2
    Jurasic Park
    and
    Gladiator.

64. on 03 Jan 2010 at 10:44 am#64indian

    Hey you people. None of you have even seen half of the real action movies made. So here i am to make you aware of some titles. The list goes as:-
    1. The Getaway (*ing Steve McQueen)
    2. Rocky Series.
    3. Rambo Series.
    4. Die Hard Series.
    5. TAKEN
    6. Gadar- Ek Prem Katha (Friends watch it and you will know the true meaning of action.)
    7. James Bond Series.
    8. New Police Story.( All Police story series can Qualify but this is the best one.)
    9. The Bourne Series.
    10. The Dark Knight.

    So if you have not watched anyone of these watch now and then you will know what true action is. I donot think any one of you will be disappointed.
    ENjOY FRIENDS.

    daredevil,hitman,killbill

70. on 09 Jan 2010 at 2:25 am#70Alex

    I actually think it’s a pretty good list, even though I probably would have put a little more weight on the quality of the action. It seems to consider how well each movie holds up as a film in addition to how cool the action is. For example, the seven samurai has pretty lame action, but it was such a spectacular film that they put it up there.

    I would have included:
    Die Hard – The only movie I consider to be a glaring omission
    Terminator 2 – The first one was great, but not one of the greatest action movies of all time. T2 had everything, though.
    First Blood
    Kill Bill

    Almost Worth it:
    Sin City
    National Treasure – This was one of the most surprisingly entertaining movies I’ve ever seen. It was impressively stupid, but boy, was it fun.
    Avatar – An extremely dumbed-down space version of dances with wolves with cardboard-thin characters. However, it was possibly the most amazing theater experience of my life.
    Legend of Drunken Master – The story is lame, and the humor that’s supposed to keep the viewer entertained between fights doesn’t quite do it for me. But there are some incredible fight scenes here, and it’s really fun to watch Jackie Chan do drunken boxing.
    Drunken Master – The original film was funnier and had more interesting characters. The fights weren’t as impressive as the sequel, but it’s a much better movie.

71. on 13 Jan 2010 at 9:30 pm#71Sangeet

    These are the best action movies forever.
    2012,X-men wolverine,path finder,punisher,terminator salvation,pirates of carrabien at the worlds end

    Where is bourne triology dude.It should be there

78. on 20 Feb 2010 at 10:33 am#78Mr hands

    this is the worst list of all time. THE GOOD THE BAD AND THE UGLY is the best directed movie ever made but to consider it an action movie is a bit much. The dark knight is great too but thats more drama. some one needs to establish a new list and god i hate star wars. And fight club is not action. Whats next on the list harry potter give me a break. DESPERADO, KILL BILL1 and2, THE PROTECTOR STARRING TONY JAA, LEGEND OF DRUNKEN MASTER, DIE HARD, PREDETOR, SAVING PRIVATE RYAN, TOTAL RECALL , T2, there are so many others that are actual action movies. AND I WANT TO SAY ANYTHING BY TARRENTINO BUT HE DESERVES HIS OWN GENRE TITLE MOVIES THAT DONT SUCK LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE HOLLY WOOD PUTS OUT.

79. on 24 Feb 2010 at 11:13 am#79Luke Gardner

    Where’s Die Hard!!! That is the greatest action movie of all time as it has everthing right!

    Not a single Schwarzenegger flick, Commando, Terminator, Terminator 2, True Lies, and more.

    I love Star Wars, but I don’t consider them as action movies. Neither should LOTR.

    And finally, The Dark Knight is vastly overrated and doesn’t deserve to be on any list in my opinion.

80. on 03 Mar 2010 at 12:24 pm#80I think this list must contain the following 3 movies

    This list must contain at list 3movies number1mission imposible 2 then wanted and then indiana jones and the kingdom of crystal skull

    I would agree that you have said a few of the top action movies here, but like many others, name trilogies as individual movies, so over half of your list is just 2 films, come on put some effort in

85. on 13 Mar 2010 at 2:16 am#85Jason Arnold

    This is the ultimate top ten right here that I’m going to give you , anybody can not dispute with my list here, and the reason why is because each and every movie here is a pure action man’s film with every ingredient you need to pump the adrenaline to another level , If you’re a real dude then you will get this list and totally respect it ,plus anybody that puts trilogy’s down as one movie is an idiot because that’s cheating a great action movie doesn’t need a sequel to back it up if it truly delivers what it came and set out to do.
    1.Terminator 2: Judgement Day (1991)
    2.Dark Night (2008)
    3.Kiss Of The Dragon (2001)
    4.Double Impact (1991)
    5.Die Hard (1988)
    6.Blade (1998)
    7.Lethal Weapon (1987)
    8.Face/Off (1997)
    9.The Bourne Ultimatum (2007)
    10.Ong Bak (2003) -TIE-Predator (1987)
    Runners up
    True Lies , Aliens , Enter The Dragon ,First Blood, TimeCop,Lethal Weapon 3 and 4, The Transporter, Under Siege,The Rock , The Matrix, Desperado, BraveHeart,Saving Private Ryan,Casino, Mission Impossible 1 and 2 ,Die Hard With A Vengeance, Passenger 57, Dragon The Bruce Lee Story and Undisputed 2

88. on 03 Apr 2010 at 6:09 am#88Ira

    People, please mind your spelling. It really is horrible to see how so many people seem too stupid to write down even the simplest of phrases.

    My list:

    1. The Dark Knight; One of the greatest movies of all time. It’s an original take on the superhero genre, which makes it a surprising feat as well. Thank you, list makers, for mentioning the already legendary portrayal of the Joker by Heath Ledger. As an actor, I’m pretty sure movies in the future will be hard-pressed to match such an amazing accomplishment.

    2. Die Hard; Especially the first and the last one were absolutely thrilling. This is Bruce Willis doing what he knows best. I liked part one for the originality and for the character portrayed by Alan Rickman ( you can see how a well acted bad guy can make a movie ). Part four I like because of the action. It was some of the most amazing action I’ve ever seen, especially when he jumps on top of a jet, spirals down in between two broken down highways, followed by a wave of fire, stands up, shrugs the dust of his shoulders and walks away.

    - Dude, you just took out a helicopter with a car!!
    - I was outta bullets…

    3. Lord of the rings; Since this trilogy has one continuing storyline I’d like to include it as a trilogy anyway. For all you nay-sayers who say Lotr is not an action movie, the movie’s got plenty of action and for me, that defines it as an action movie. Sci-fi, fantasy or drama, as long as there’s action in it, you can (also) label it an action movie.
    This trilogy is absolutely epic and a modern day classic. With amazing performances by Viggo Mortensen, Ian McKellen, Elijah Wood, Sean Bean, Sean Astin, Christopher Lee, John Rhys-Davies, Hugo Weaving etc, etc. Peter Jackson manages to create a world in which everyone wishes to dwell after seeing these amazing films. Everyone who’s read the books notices of course some errors, and many may feel it’s a shame Peter Jackson left out Tom Bombadil to name just one, but no one can deny he’s made something that will go down in history.

    4. Iron man; Amazing movie. Also differs from the normal superhero movie, because there’s nothing supernatural about it. Again, this movie’s made by the great actors. Robert Downey Jr. who’s every movie is a must, creates a legendary character in Tony Stark, the spoiled billionaire playboy with an intellect to rival Einstein. Also, Jeff Bridges, one of the most amazing actors ever to have lived (please go watch The Big Lebowski ), plays a bad guy. But not just any bad guy, he makes him incredibly realistic. This man could actually exist, which makes him all the more scary. I can’t wait for the second movie to come out.

    5. Pirates of the Caribbean and the Curse of the Black Pearl; This movie’s only on this list because of the actors. Johnny Depp and Geoffry Rush make unforgettable appearances as evil and not-so-evil pirates. Humor and sword-fights, who could ever wish for more?

    6. Independence Day; Epic movie, no denying. Will Smith is always a pleasure to look at and Jeff Goldblum creates a very believable anti-hero. Still one of the best disaster movies ever made. Beats ’2012′ and ‘The Day after Tomorrow’ no question.

    7. Shoot ‘em up; great action movie spoof. With Clive Owen, one my favorite actors, in the leading role. It’s such a cool movie, ’cause you no one actually trying to pretend it’s a serious movie. Fun action. So unrealistic I doubled over many a time while watching this movie.

    8. Avatar; Just because it blew me from my seat when I watched it. If we’re talking purely action, this movie deserves a place in any top ten.

    9. Saving Privat Ryan; It’s just a very realistic film, with believable performances and a strong Tom Hanks. I loved this film. Quite epic, but small and tender in places it should be. Small role for Matt Damon, which he fulfills respectably.

    10. King Kong (the new one); I hate all those nostalgic idiots, screaming the old King Kong was better. Wake up, people. This is one great movie. With Naomi Watts on her most beautiful and Adrien Brody, best actor in the world. Jack Black gives his best performance ever and Andy Serkis deserves a place in heaven for his portrayal of the ape Kong. I’m not gonna name all the actors in this film, but every single one deserves a medal for making such an incredible movie. Nice score by James Newton Howard as well.

    So, that’s my top 10. Let the bashing begin, but before you start, I’d like to remind you that everything on this list is subjective to me taste. If you don’t like it, go make a list of your own and I’ll discuss it with you in an orderly fashion. If you can’t do so, please refrain from saying anything… I’ll know you’re a retard anyway..

     I aggree not all movies listed are action but no doubt top of there on genre list. Except Twilight that should exist. There are loads of suggestions and a couple I haven’t seen so I will check them out. One of the best ones I have resently seen:

     Shoot ‘em Up – I think This flick nailed what action is about . . . an extreme rollercoaster ride of bullshit action that kicks ass and fun to watch.

     Take it or leave it but I strongly recoment checking it out.

103. on 30 May 2010 at 9:39 am#103YdoUtorntME

108. on 21 Jun 2010 at 11:04 am#108FEROZE DILAWAR

     i think the russian movie series NIGHT WATCH and the sequels following it ( DAY WATCH) were one of the greatest action movies ever to hit screens.The beauty in these werent only the unblievable chreography in action sequences but also a story as well as scenes that lead into the action minutes and concluded them…its thrilling, adrenalising and something rarely found in action flicks, gothic.
     it certainly stood up to its release tag…
