Favorite Action Movies of All Time?


1. John Wick---10/10
2. The Raid: Redemption---10/10
3. Captain America: The Winter Soldier---9.5/10

4. Transformers: Dark of the Moon--(while I do not consider this a good and I believe the first half of the movie is awful...its my opinion the last hour / finale of this film is incredible and some of the best mindless action put on film)

5. Mad Max: Fury Road--9.5/10
6. Mission: Impossible - Fallout --9.5/10
7. John Wick: Chapter 2--8.5/10
8. Terminator 2: Judgment Day--10/10
9. Predator --9/10

10. Transformers--9/10( I'm in the minority here, this is the only Transformers film I actually think it's a decent overall movie and again I think the action during the film and climax are incredible)

11. Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation --9.5/10

12. Casino Royale--9.5/10( I think Casino Royale is actually a slightly better movie than Rogue Nation, both have incredible action but the difference for me came down to if you watch these two films back to back it really sticks out during the action scenes of Casino Royale that Craig had a stunt double most of the major action sequences and because Cruise did his own stunts on Rogue Nation, for me the action scenes are just a little bit better, and this is something I would not notice probably had I not watched the movies back to back)

13. Gladiator--9.5/10
14. The Expendables 2 --9/10
15. The Expendables--9/10
16. The Night Comes for Us --9/10
17. The Raid 2--8.5/10
18. The Rock--9/10
19. The Matrix--9.5/10
20. Olympus Has Fallen --8.5/10
21. The Bourne Identity--9/10
22. The Bourne Ultimatum--9/10( I feel TBU has the better action sequences but TBI is overall the slightly better movie)
23. John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum--8/10


** I also want to note that I agree movies like The Terminator,
Aliens, Die Hard, Speed, First Blood, Rambo 2, Léon: The Professional and many others are some of the BEST action movies of all time but just not my favorite

**I also would probably have the Lord of the rings trilogy ranked very high but I do not feel it fits the typical "action movie genre" I consider them to be fantasy films more than action movies but I do have the opinion that the action in the Lord of the rings trilogy is all time great

Not a huge fan of the genre, but I liked Die Hard (the sequels not as much). The Mad Max moves are all good. The first two Terminator movies. Aliens, if you consider that an action movie. Predator. The James Bond series. There are a lot of those, but Casino Royale and For Your Eyes Only are two favorites.
