Top Twenty Action flicks, 2000-2022

[quickccc]

Yeah, I didn’t like the Director’s cut as much.

James Coburn, after Porter shot his suitcases: “That’s just mean, man!”

Ironically i found out a number of people have never heard of Gibson's Payback, so i guess its' one of those rare under the radar Guilty Pleasure flicks ..

I thought about putting the Incredibles on my list, but I only really liked the first one. And the Mad Max remake is so sped up it looked like claymation to me. Human beings don't move that fast. Sorry.

A max of 20 action films? During the last 22 years? My brain just short-circuited.

This will make me think for awhile. The timeframe covers the entire MCU and DCEU franchises, so my list will be dominated by such. Kill Bill: Volumes 1 & 2 automatically fill two of my slots. Need 18 more.

This will wait until later before I must take a Tylenol lol.

Yeah, it’s tough, I feel ya. There’s 20-30-something OTHER ones that could have made my list. My original idea was more reality based movies—leaving out the superhero/science fiction genre.

Maybe a “Top 50 Favorite Non-Superhero Action Flick”?

This will be off-topic but does refer to my list. This is a story I have told in the past, so I understand if anyone rolls their eyes while reading it yet again.

In April of 2003, I was in the theater watching trailers of upcoming movies. I do not even remember the movie I was there waiting to see. Nor do I remember all of the other trailers that rolled before the movie started. However, there is ONE trailer that grabbed my total attention--my soul--within five notes of Ennio Morricone's Battle Without Honor Or Humanity started to play...



The movie hit theaters in October later that year. Let me tell y'all. That was a LONG six months for me to wait.

Like many moviegoers, I have seen hundreds (if not thousands) of film trailers during my life. The one above rests, solidly and undisputedly, within my top five movie trailers of all-time. Heck. None of the other trailers made for Volume 1 OR 2 hold that distinction for me. Weird.

Crap. I have sat here and re-watched it at least seven times while making this post. Back to work DE.

Bad Boys II needs to be somewhere in here

My first thought was Enter the Dragon, but too old
