It is probably the hardest list I ever put together.
The tough part is, unlike a decade thing, where it just has to be within the decade, this list really challenges you to think "when is a movie an action film?" or simply "when is it 'action' enough?"... There are a lot of films I feel like aren't really action flicks to me, so I leave them out.
I try to look at movies I watch in-part for the action and also how memorable the action set-pieces are. If it's only partly action, but driven by pure tension and adrenaline I feel like it fits as well. But a lot of films are only thrillers or crime dramas and I simply can't see them belong on my list.
Anyways, I'm working hard on it, planning on sending today but maybe tomorrow...
