Top 5 action movies of all time. This one I have been thinking about for a week and I want to thank everyone who has helped me.
Action movies is a HUGE genre of movies so let me lay down a few guideline.
NO Bond Movies, Comic book movies, Star Wars, Westerns and War movies
1. Die Hard - "You ask for a miracle. I give you the FBI." Honestly, this has to be in everyone's top 5 right? No questions asked.
2. Predator - Arnold had to make the list and this is my favorite. I know this means I am leaving off T1 and T2. That will be considered a mistake by many. Any movie with TWO future Governors...come on!
3. Indiana Jones - Raiders of the Lost Ark - It was either this one or the Last Crusade. Both great. I am going with the original. Dr. Jones brings it. What can I say?
4. The Bourne Identity - Jason Bourne is one bad m-fer. This movie was intense, fast paced and loaded with action. I loved every minute of it.
5. The Matrix - Ahead of its time. Great concept. The next two were not very good but this movie had it all. The opening scene was so good.
I know I am leaving off some great movies. If you think Beverly Hills Cop is an action movie, that would be my #5. I can not believe I left off Rambos but it happens. Also I have no Kung Fu movies or any John Woo movie. Here is a list of movies that I was thinking about when making this list (just to help you out).
Lethal Weapons (may be #6 for me), T1, T2, Commando, Kill Bill, 48 Hours, French Connection, Blade Runner, Blade, Great Escape, 7 Samurai, Dirty Harry movies, Enter the Dragon, The Road Warrior, Aliens, Transformers, Highlander, Esacpe from New York, Bloodsport, Mission Impossible.
Sidenote: Any Conan movie counts as a comic book movie.
Please leave your list in the comment section. I would love to hear them!
ANOTHER NOTE: Transformers was a comic book...i dont remember that but it was a comic book. So, it can not be in your list.

I am confused. Are you considering Transformers as a comic book movie, or not? I definitely think it is considered an action movie regardless. Here is my list.
1. Transformers
2. Terminator 2
3. The Matrix
4. Die Hard
5. Raiders of the Lost Ark
Hm, not a genre with which I am most familiar, but I'll try...
1. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
2. The Matrix
3. Gladiator
4. Terminator 2
5. Back to the Future (action?) OR Die Hard
Wait, I forgot The Fugitive. That's action, right? Slide that in as my #3, and bump the others down.
Too vague. The one thing I do know- The Matrix sucked bigtime.
