Alien was not an action movie but neither was Return Of The King in my mind, gah! I wish we hashed this all out beforehand, but it might make for a more unique unexpected list. Hell, it might be better this way Though having said that, if Akira is #1, Ill be pissed.
The MoFo Top 100 Action Movie Countdown
→ in Movie Reviews
No way Akira is #1. Maybe 26-30 or something but i can't see any higher.
I think it will make it but just not that high, especially with some people (Iro i think?) saying they don't consider it Action earlier. And on the Animation Countdown where noone would dispute its eligibility obviously it was only #29.

Yeah, I'm not suggesting a second vote here, if that's what people were thinking.

Animated movies are "more and more being accepted into the mainstream way of thinking" because people are wising up to the fact that animated movies as just movies and many can hold their own in terms of quality against their Live-Action counterparts.
That said, I don't like Akira and didn't vote for any animation. I love animation and I absolutely agree with its inclusion here, but I chose movies that I watch and love largely for the action elements. No animated film made my top 25 under that criteria.

Akira is actually one of the nine films from the Animation list i haven't seen yet. Should do that soon especially for the Sci-Fi list.

I dont know why you did the eyeroll as there was discussion on the forum less than a year ago how animated movies arent getting the respect they deserve. My stance on it then was the same.

I think TONGO is saying he does believe they belong, think his wording was a bit off because i took it that way at first as well.

People went to Return of the King to see the Battle of Minas Tirith and the push into Mordor, Alien makes no play at swordfights, gunfights, dogfights, or even super intense games of Chess.
People can't seem to compartmentalize genres as both a gradation and an actively compelling aspect of a movie.

My eyeroll is because you seem to think they don't belong when they absolutely do.

What possible use is that? Would we then average out the lists or something?
Don't know why i'm trying to answer for him

Cripes, I don't think those are even remotely comparable. Is it that hard to divide intention from personal opinion?
