Drive Didn't consider, but after a brief think over, could have made my list (if Transporter is on the list, it should back down, apologise and give it's place to Drive
MI 3 Considered, didn't make the list

Drunken Master 2 is mostly crap, but I think that final 14-some minute fight scene warrants it a spot. Best Jackie Chan fight I've seen.

I had The Fifth Element at 14. I like North by Northwest a lot, but never considered it for this. Deadpool was decent. Don't care for Mononoke or Miyazaki in general. I don't think I've seen the others.

Huh, haven't seen Under Siege. I think the only Seagal flick I've seen all the way through is Hard to Kill, which is somewhat amusing but not good by any means.

Otherwise, more "is this action" picks that I may have voted for if I'd thought to (Mononoke being the obvious one - weird that I didn't seriously consider any animated films for this list, but again, that's on me) and, while I am still quite critical of Deadpool, I can't fault it too hard on an action level - the problem obviously being that the aggressively comedic vibe of it all effectively obscures the quality of its action (especially the relatively low-budget work on display).

Similar thoughts.

Um Fifth Elemet is sure a Sci fI Movie But Its Not Got That Much In It To Be An Action Fair least not compared too other Willis Movies. I like the movie fine but as a sci fi flick.

Raul is probably thinking what movie will show up next. Maybe Grumpy Old Men will make it since its a fishing movie and Matthew almost runs Lemon over in his little hut

I'd say it's pretty near equal parts Action, Adventure and Sci-Fi, which is a big reason why I love it despite not liking a lot of Science Fiction. Car chases, shootouts, explosions, witty dialogue. Bruce Willis is John McClane all over again, only in the future.

None of mine today. North By Northwest would've been if i considered it action, and Princess Mononoke was one i thought of after sending my list.

I think i got the whole Action side of things wrong. When i think action movies, i think Rambo, Predator, Die Hard, Speed etc...

So only Hollywood films are action?

I didn't see anything there suggesting that Action necessarily equals Hollywood. I just see a list of quintessential action films.

That said, I admit that there was only one non-English language film on my own ballot.

Indeed.

I imagine Omni, Zotis and Guap and the likes are responsible for all that anime crap. And holy smokes is there a lot of movies I would never consider action myself.

I voted for Nausicaa and Mononoke.

I wouldn't consider it crap, it just feels out of place IMO. They are more adventure than action.

Where did i say that?.

I mean't that you are from the 50's in the sense that you like 50's movies.
