Equilibrium is a great action film, but I think it lacks the heart and gravitas to be an all-time great.

If you were to rank the top five greatest action movies of all time, what would be your list?

Heat is #1. Everybody knows that.

I haven't seen it.

Heat is excellent. Not sure if it’s an action movie though.

10:33am

Close but you would be wrong. Ronin

Interesting choice with The Fugitive. I'm not sure I'd call it an action movie, but I see your point.

byujacob

Ya it's borderline, but it's one of my favorite all-time movies and has enough

I like this list but for Marvel movies though I would do The Winter Soldier

I agree that Winter Soldier is the best pure action film out of the Marvel movies.

Can't argue with that - great movie.

Hot Fuzz is a great shout

Ghost Pirate LeChuck

10:20am

I thought I was the only one who regarded Hot Fuzz that highly.

10:25am

T2 #1

I would go

How did I leave out alien and aliens. I think five is too short a list.

That's why it's hard.

Yes to Raiders

Hmmm, that is how I would describe you.

If you want to die on that hill, go for it. I like it, but it earned a whopping $5M at the box office.

byujacob

That isnt the dig you think it is.

But Dredd??

Tricky

It's practically a perfect action film

byujacob

12:10pm

Just realized I never knew that there was a remake of the original Sly flick

T2, Edge of Tomorrow

Cougar McGregor

10:26am

Edge of Tomorrow is so good. We started it again the other night, but . . .

Tricky

12:10pm

Star Wars 1 - 3, and then 7, 8, with 9 as a bonus, no question.

My top 5

Die Hard (OG) is the only movie I ever walked right over to the ticket stand to

fulano

10:38am

We went back and saw it again the next day.

1:03pm

I'm not a big movie buff. Does Gladiator not count as "action?"

Zooropa

10:38am

Aliens is on my list. Fits slots in multiple genres.

bluecheese

A lot of good movies listed above. I'd add Predator to the list.

Bar7h

Die Hard, Commando, Raiders, Top Gun, Seven Samurai. Honorable mentions:
