Thought about putting both Kill Bills on my list but decided not due to other favorites. Did have Predator at #16 though. Great flick. And I just happen to be wearing a "Get to da choppa!" t-shirt. For reals.

Predator (1987) - I don't think I've seen this movie, but I seem to remember something about invisible creatures in it, so maybe I saw it a long time ago, but I just don't remember it. Or maybe I'm thinking of a completely different movie.

Kill Bill Vol. 1 (2003) - I hated both of the Kill Bill movies.

Honorable Mentions:
From Dusk Till Dawn (1996) - Never heard of it.
Bullitt (1968) - Good movie, but it wasn't on my list.

Raiders was my #1. It's been a favourite for as long as I can remember watching movies and revisiting it for the umpteenth time last year shows that it holds up just great not just as an action movie but as a movie in general (but I could still take it to task if I felt like it).

The Matrix was my #9. Another long-time favourite and, while I don't love it as much as I did when I first saw it, I can't deny its strength on an action front.

The Boondock Saints used to be a major favourite that I've seen more times than I'd like to admit, but hoo-boy it is hard to summon much enthusiasm for it these days.

I tried to make a diverse list by limiting voting to one from each franchise and Crusade was already on my list. Raiders is a close close second to my favorite in the franchise though.

The Matrix is really good, but I admire it more than I love it. I'm not a Die Hard fan like some other people are.

Boondocks Saints is fun, but I don't have a desire to watch it again...

I had both Raiders and The Matrix on my list, at 12 and 17 respectively. While Raiders is one of my all-time favourite films, I didn't put it higher on my list because I don't really watch it for the action per se. The Boondock Saints almost made my list, and if I had my time back I might've snuck it in the bottom 5 in place of Crank, Taken, or Fast Five because I like it way more than either of those films.

Seen: 88/96
My List: 15
3 honourable mentions

01. Dredd (2012)

__________________

Its the same franchise as Temple of doom. Hating Raiders does not make any since.

Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is also in the same franchise though. Just because you like one or more films in a series, doesn't mean you have to like all of them.

I never said I hate Raiders. I said it's my least favorite of the original trilogy.

Least favorite ≠ hate.

I do hate The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and it's from the same franchise as well. Are you going to tell me that doesn't make sense too?

Raiders was my #17, just one left from my list my #3. Raiders is my second favourite Indy behind Temple of Doom, The Last Crusade is fine but if i'm honest those are the only two i'd rewatch. I hate The Matrix, i just don't understand what anyone else sees in it and i never have. I'm sure that will result in someone telling me the reasons why they like it which i've heard a million times before, still meh though.

01.Once Upon A Time In The West
02.Seven Samurai
03.Still To Come
04.The Wild Bunch
05.The Dark Knight
06.Empire Strikes Back
07.Star Wars
08.The Bridge On The River Kwai
09.Temple of Doom
10.Hero (2002)
11.From Russia With Love
12.The Good, The Bad and The Ugly
13.For A Few Dollars More
14.Shogun Assassin
15.Leon
16.Oldboy
17.Raiders of the Lost Ark
18.Heat
19.The Terminator
20.First Blood
21.Ong-Bak
22.Predator
23.Once Upon A Time In China
24.Enter the Dragon
25.Robocop

I haven't seen Crystal Skull for the record and don't really have any intentions to. I love Temple of Doom and like Raiders a lot but i don't care about franchises any more, so the only way i'll end up seeing it is if a gf wants me to like my ex wanted me to see Skyfall pretty much.

Edit: I should add partially because of its reputation, this sounds to much like a douchey too for school post for my liking

The Matrix Think I'm with MM on this. Good movie, but admire it more for what it is rather than a true love of the movie. No question that it deserves it's place on the list.

Raider of the lost arc My second favourite after Crusade, it takes all the elements of a enjoyable adventure and creates magic. The melting nazis are still the best effect in the whole series imo.

Boondocks Another one I forgot that would've made my list. Love both movies, but the first one is my favourite. Rocco's hilarious and Agent Smecker is awesome, one of my favourite Willem Defoe roles.

Why not just kill them? I'll do it! I'll run up to Paris - bam, bam, bam, bam. I'm back before week's end. We spend the treasure. How is this a bad plan?

And that'll be all the films from my list, unless that last Honourable Mention just so happens to be one of them. I'm a little bit disappointed that only ten films from my list made the list proper, and that my #1 didn't finish slightly higher, but, then again, this countdown didn't quite turn out as people expected, did it?

My list so far, with predictions:
1. The Matrix (#6)
2. Kill Bill: Volume 1 (#8)
3. Kill Bill: Volume 2 (#60)
4. Bullitt (H.M.)
5. The Italian Job (H.M.)
6. Won't make it
7. Mad Max (#99)
8. The Crow (#31)
9. Big Trouble in Little China (#54)
10. Rumble in the Bronx (D.N.P.)
11. Heat (#34)
12. Goldfinger (#73)
13. Won't make it
14. Alien (H.M.)
15. Ip Man (H.M.)
16. Beverly Hills Cop (H.M.)
17. Won't make it
18. Won't make it
19. Won't make it
20. Casino Royale (#53)
21. Shanghai Noon (D.N.P.)
22. Won't make it
23. Won't make it
24. Taken (#91)
25. Headshot (one-pointer)

Wooh! Finally got two in the same picks, three if you count Honorable Mentions. Only other time two in the same group was #70 and #69.

Had The Matrix at #9, Raiders of the Lost Ark at #2, and The Boondock Saints at #20.
