Best ACTION Movie Ever... Round 1
I had so much fun doing the last one and since we've a sub-forum now that isn't cluttering the board, I thought I'd continue the fun...
I've gone to the IMDB's top 250 and clicked on action movies, and put the top 32 into the final. So there's no bias whatsoever. 1. Seven Samurai v Gladiator 2. Run Lola Run v Braveheart 3. Pulp Fiction v The Lady Vanishes 4. Yojimbo v The Killer 5. Apocalypse Now v Ben-Hur 6. Bridge on the River Kwai v Adventures of Robin Hood 7. Empire Strikes Back v Spartacus 8. Raiders of the Lost Ark v Return of the Jedi 9. Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon v Full Metal Jacket 10. Fight Club v Spiderman 11. Saving Private Ryan v Aliens 12. The Matrix v The Wild Bunch 13. Leon v Blade Runner 14. The Good, The Bad and The Ugly v Attack of the Clones 15. Reservoir Dogs v Princess Mononoke 16. Star Wars v Henry V You know what to do. |
1. Seven Samurai
2. Braveheart 3. Pulp Fiction 4. Yojimbo 5. Apocalypse Now 6. Adventures of Robin Hood 7. Spartacus 8. Raiders of the Lost Ark 9. Full Metal Jacket 10. Fight Club 11. Aliens 12. The Wild Bunch 13. Leon 14. The Good, The Bad and The Ugly 15. Reservoir Dogs 16. Henry V |
My picks:
Seven Samurai Run Lola Run Pulp Fiction (Haven't seen either Yojimbo or The Killer...) Apocalypse Now Adventures of Robin Hood Empire Strikes Back Raiders of the Lost Ark CT, HD (that was a d*mn tough one to call) Fight Club Aliens The Matrix Leon The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly Reservoir Dogs Star Wars |

I was giving my opinion on your opinion.
Say... whatever happened to Rollerball 2002? |
I think maybe it rolled off the face of the Earth... :)
|
McTiernan's much-delayed (and pointless) re-make of Rollerball, starring Chris Klein, LL Cool J, Rebecca Romijn-Stamos and Jean Reno, came and went earlier this year - at least in The States. Shockingly, it got horrible reviews and zero boxoffice.
1. Seven Samurai 2. Run Lola Run 3. Pulp Fiction 4. Yojimbo 5. Apocalypse Now 6. The Bridge on the River Kwai 7. The Empire Strikes Back 8. Raiders of the Lost Ark 9. Full Metal Jacket 10. Fight Club 11. Aliens 12. The Wild Bunch 13. BladeRunner 14. The Good, the Bad & the Ugly 15. Reservoir Dogs 16. Star Wars* *BTW, which Henry V, Kenny Branagh's 1989 or Larry Olivier's 1944? |
Check out Rollerball's rating on the IMDb. YOWZA!
|
I just checked the IMDb on Henry V. It must be the 1989 version, since it is in the top 250, and the other isn't.

This is so braindead.

Why is it that I've only seen one out of each of the pairings save a couple? Well, I'll throw in my 2 cents on those and hope that the ones I have seen make it on to the next round.
