EWB's Top 50 Action Movie Voting Thread

[Monkey D. Lars]

Action movies, every ones has their favorites, there are those cheesy ones, the ones that take themselves serious and succeed with it.

Most of them have one-liners:

And offcourse shootouts:

So I was wondering how would the EWB Top 50 Action Movies list look like? So I though let's find out. Everyone can post their top 15 action movies with number 1 getting 15 points and number 15 1 points. And so on. Are The Avengers, Dark Knight and Spider-Man action flicks? I don't really know the answer to that but if you feel like it's your favorite action movie, you can vote for that one.

The latest the voting will be closed is when I will return from vacation and that's around the 11th of June. I might close it before I go on vacation depending on how long there hasn't been voted.

I will post my top 15 later on.

I like to pretend I never watched a movie until 2013, so this is rough and not permanent. So please don't hate me for it. I'm going to try to watch enough action movies to hopefully knock Pirates off the list. I'll watch eight movies to knock off Battle Royale II for sure.

1. Team America: World Police

2. Battle Royale

3. The Lego Movie

4. Serenity

5. Pirates of The Caribbean: At World's End

6. The Hunger Games

7. Series 7: The Contenders

Damn phats you like some cheesy shit.

I'm going over the lists and seeing aot of Jackie chan.

If you've never seen drunken master 2, you've never seen his best movie. Of the top 5 rates fights, it had first and third place

Stop what you're doing and watch drunken master. Its fucking mindbending
