Includes "Never say never again" which is not an EON production but excludes "Casino Royale" (1967) which is a parody.

action list

Great works of art change you. They crawl inside of you so that, years later, you still remember them clearly. I don't claim these are 'THE definitive list'. This list says more about me, personally, which is always true with these lists. I include only films that I believe deserve 10 stars. And, as always, it is ever in progress.

Fairly extensive list - some I've seen, some not.

Movies I've seen or want to see. Mostly drama.

TV series with opening title sequences that are works of art in themselves. That tell the whole story of the series. That pull you in and make you watch them start to finish. That pump you up, make you shudder or make you cry. That are gaspingly spectacular.

List is in progress.

Movie or TV drama with either copy-cat premises, bad writing/directing/acting, mugging that's supposed to be comedy, or is just embarrassingly inane... all, in my, ahem, humble opinion, a criminal waste of time.

Not your usual list. Many are giants in their own countries.

In progress.

Don't look for great meaning—just sit back and be entertained with some damn good movies.

WWI was a war like no other ever fought in human history. The total number of military and civilian casualties was over 38 million. Right on the heels of it came the 1918 flu pandemic which killed another 50 to 100 million people—between 3-5% of the world's population. Boundaries that had defined empires dissolved and a new map of the world emerged.

You cannot understand WWII without knowing the history of WWI and you certainly cannot understand the world today without knowing the history of both wars. Movies don't have to stick to fact, but many remain very close. More importantly, the human stories give us a sense of what was won and what was lost.

Films or TV about women with courage. Not weapon-wielding amazons, but women confronting real situations - sometimes unimaginable hardships, sometimes challenges that are all too common.

Shows that were awesome but got greedy & didn't quit while the show was great. As a result, their last season spoiled their overall reputation.

All Quentin Tarantino Movies Ranked

James Bond is one of the greatest cinematic icons ever. As a huge fan of the formula, I have ranked all 23 films from worst to best. Just because I'm fan, it doesn't mean I like them all and he's had a few duds. So, here's my ranking and by the way, don't worry as most of you will likely agree with most of these.

All Christopher Nolan Movies ranked.

This list will add top 10 great sports and games movies in Bollywood. Importance of sports is relatively very low in India and hence sport movies too. Hence every sports movie made is appreciative in itself, whether it amassed critical audience or not. Numbers here are in any random order and does not suggest level of greatness in the movie. Please leave comments if you think differently and have something in mind which you want me to notice.

My favourite actin movies

What really gives a movie actor staying power? The perception that there was nobody like him or her before certainly helps, and that is a main line of reasoning as to the success of Arnold Schwarzenegger on screen.

However, the main image here is of Arnold as the Terminator on the famed motorcycle, and I believe this is a recreation -- whether on purpose or not -- of the predecessor to smoldering cinematic manliness, Marlon Brando in "The Wild One". (There might also be a parallel to Marcello Mastroianni). These kind of on-screen echoes and their bases in reason and/or chance are an intriguing aspect of studying film history: they occur all over the place, across cultures and on-camera republics. Consider Charlie Sheen in "Hot Shots", an echo of Sylvester Stallone in "Rambo", as an example of the purposeful parallel by comedy. The cinematic resonance via drama, however, is tougher, and offers more insight into the nature of drama itself. Suffice it to say that there is something inherently dramatic and comedic about Schwarzenegger, in a different ratio than it existed with Brando, and this unpredictability secured him a pivotal place in the cinematic imagination.

2013 Movies we want to see all year long

Arrange by dates

This list has been created based on my opinion only. I have neither rated these films based on critic point of view nor popularity. All I can say is these movies made my time 100% worth. Though I had seen certain classics like Citizen Kane, Casablanca, Vertigo, Rear Window, Pshyco, Gone with the wind, Apocalypse Now, Lawrence of Arabia, Bicycle thieves, 2001 Space Odyssey, Rashomon, The Seventh Seal, God Father II, Cinema Paradiso and Post 90s films like Forrest Gump, Memento, Pulp fiction, Seven, Lord of the rings, The Notebook, Old Boy, Inception etc had not been included in this list because those films are either close to my Heart or close to my Mind, definitely not both, apart from that there is no other reason for not including them in this list. As a movie Lover I respect each and every person's opinion and thoughts about any film which has been made so far in the film industry.

Fitness Inspiration and GYM Motivation Movies

Seekers for ancient truths and artefacts. Treasure hunters, adventurers and scholars or just someone with a mission.

See also: Mummy movies, which often feature archaeologists, although they are often unfortunate victims. I also have an occult detective list, which has some crossover with this list, as well as being another well-known archetype.

Comments: As I don't have a Facebook account I cannot interact with the new comments system, so have switched it off. I will start a thread on the message board and link it in here shortly.

This is random list & there's so many more :)

A fair amount of super hero's, not what I was planning but I can work with it --- not sorted

Not very diverse, but hey, there are very few films, where true pure karate is shown :).

This list is what I consider to be the best movies or tv shows that involve sword and/or shield action. Movies that feature gun powder need not apply.

List of Action movies I have seen... A must see list Only 7 and above in my view... Enjoy

The common denominator here is the mafia and highly regarded movies.

shitty movies but good

The Internet Archive is well-known for the Wayback Machine it hosts and they also have a very large selection of public domain media*, relevant to IMDB are the films they have and this is a list designed to bring together the science-fiction ones. I largely made the list for myself, so I could keep a track of some of these early classics as I work through their catalogue (some are classic for being good, others for being so bad they are good and some are just bad) but I'm making it public as I'm sure there are other people out there who'd be interest - if nothing else you can grab the bad ones, some beer, some friends and hold your own MST3K (a number of them have appeared on the show).

So here we have the classic Master of the Flying Guillotine along with a couple of Bruceploitation films, some reasonable kung-fu films and the oddity that is The Impossible Kid.

See also: the equivalent lists for horror and science-fiction.

Further reading: If you want to track down other PD films outside of these genres then a good place to start is Wikipedia's list of public domain films in the US, which also explains the situation. Their page on public domain films has a wider focus. There are numerous sites offering public domain films but I can't really vouch for their checks (just Google them up).

* I can't check the copyright status of each one but they are pretty diligent (although not perhaps as careful as the Gutenberg Project, but they might be being over cautious some times) so there are unlikely to be any legal issues, although you'd want to check the copyright situation in your own country to be sure (America has longer copyright period than somewhere like Australia, for example. So if you go by what is available in the US you should be fine). There are other places online with PD films but IA is the most trustworthy source.

Kung-fu films that feature a decent percentage of the Five Venoms (to be a contender it needs 3 or more of the 6, yes I know, confusing but Wei Pai/Snake was one of the 5 Venoms in the film but doesn't usually appear in the Venoms' films. I will note a few examples with only 2 of the core Venoms). All but one are directed by Chang Cheh and they are all from the Shaw Brothers. Anything else is a cheap cash-in and, to be honest, some of the ones on the list might also be but you'll have to judge that for yourself.

List order: We include a few proto-Venom films in which the team started to coalesce before the Five Deadly Venoms films and then, following that films success, the appearance of members of the group in other films often using a similar formula (with the same actors playing similar roles). As the films came thick and fast I've also noted the release dates (at least according to IMDB, some sources vary) - HK ones unless otherwise noted.

Further reading: Venom Filmography.

Key:

Centipede - Lu Feng
Snake - Wei Pai
Scorpion - Sun Chien
Lizard - Kuo Chui/Philip Kwok
Toad - Lo Meng
Last Student - Chiang Sheng

2011 already has some finest movie hitting the big screen and the box-office..., but rest assured that there were a lot of movie I mean BIG Movies to see next year and here they are.......

This list is an action-packed film involving crime thrillers.
Rank from from best to least.


This list does not includes crime-drama-thriller(e.g. Godfather Series, Shawshank Redemption, City of God etc.)

This list is the “gangster films” as a genre that centers on organized crime or maverick criminals in a twentieth century setting.


This list is full of Pacinos, De Niros, Scorseses, Tarantinos, Ritchies, Coppolas... et al...

Gathering data and reviews to every internet reviews (listverse, AFI, AMC Filmcritics, TopTenReviews.com and user's review here on IMDb.com)

Car chases are a classic element of action movies, and we've seen them since the Silent Era. A well-executed chase can be extremely thrilling, even in an otherwise crappy movie. Since Drive hits theaters soon, we thought it would be a good time to take a look at some of the greatest car chases to ever go careening across the silver screen

Not just guns and bullets but with full of sense and story... Best action film of the past 3 decades

Action movies that have their 'eccentricities' but still manage to pack some serious heat. This is not a 'I have watched this movie 10 years ago on TV' kinda list. All of these are part of my collection, and I like them. This list will be updated.

THE LIST CONTAINS THE MOVIES WHICH CAST A STRONG GRIP OVER THE ATTENTION OF ITS VIEWING AUDIENCE THESE ARE NON STOP ACTION FLICKS WHICH WILL KEEP ON ON THE EDGE OF YOUR SEAT AND,WHEN ITS OVER YOU WILL BE ASKING FOR MORE.........................................

These are mostly movies with promise/good ideas, however, once the CGI 'beginners' got a hold of it, well the results are there for you to see (or avoid).

These are all classics, do you agree?

The main criterion is the action scenes.

The best "wuxia" or "kung fu" or "wushu" movies filmed in Hong Kong, China and Taiwan.

Good Movies For Just A Relaxing Evening and for Harry Potter fans to have all the movies in one spot to see what year they were made & years between movies & other HP trivia.....Notice Emma Watson is not in top 4 billing in first movie...then moves to 3rd then up one in the third movie to 2nd (She deserves it) .....enjoy

Some of my favorite Action Comedies of all time.

Pow! Bam! We selected these 20 action flicks on the basis of importance, impact and popularity these rock-'em, sock-'em movies have enjoyed for the past 20 years. In the case of franchises, we went with the best in the series -- but do note that "Top" does not necessarily mean "Best".
