Movies That Were Probably Made By a Spasm of Six Year-Olds on Acid: The Top 75 Action Films Poll Results Thread

Cuaron is goodecades, and That Little Princes is one of the better kids' movie of the last couple decades.

WAT? Stupid phone. Cuaron is good value, I mean.

i voted for ronin too, out of a sense of community really, its oblique nonsense is sort of endearing but ive only watched it once

driven by the quest of the Keaton character

My point exactly. That scene is pure thrill ride and all about stunts, but we agree that it isn't just a ride within the context of the movie. The second half of CoM is full of content and builds on central themes of the movie. (I don't want to get too specific sue to spoilers.)

CoM is such a fucking amazing movie.

i've stanned for it all over ilx before, but i just had to get that in here.

That Little Princes

soz guys, 1-5 will be tomorrow (feel free to speculate at will at the results)

also i saw william fitchner walking his dog near my house this morning while i was driving to work. i wanted to shout "you could get killed WALKIN YOUR DOGGIE!!!"

Die Hard and T2 for sure, what of the other three?

Distant xpost: Sorcerer is pretty good, and pretty faithful, but I don't think a widescreen version of the movie exists right now. If any home video version exists. Awesome Tangerine Dream score, good location shooting, nice and cynical and grimy, like the original.

The number of viscerally negative reactions I've encountered to Children of Men, akin to the spite that's met other fave films of mine such as Tree of Life, AI or There Will Be Blood, in a sense underscores its greatness.

Die Hard, T2, Beverly Hills Cop 3 ...

Aliens.

RoboCop.

Die Hard, T2, Aliens, First Blood

Has Robocop placed yet?

Die Hard, Raiders, Robocop, Aliens, T2

Ah, there you go. Die Hard, Aliens, T2, RoboCop, Raiders.

Rambo: First Snub.

I really dislike it! the premise is dumb! I just don't want everyone to hate me, also I forgot the more specific reasons why I dislike it.

"there is a dead man on the other end of this leash"

i didnt see com until like 2010, and it surprised the hell out of me. i didnt know about its reputation as a dope movie, i just remembered the lame trailers when it came out. didnt vote for it, think of it more as a sci-fi thriller, but still a legitimate choice unlike blade runner because at least its viscerally exciting.

Yeah, no Rambo, no Top Gun, no Lethal Weapon... not like we'll be short of the 80s or anything, but I wouldn't have expected it going in.

Someone post a recap list plz

felt for sure that top gun would have placed. guess ILX has no love for tom cruise. sucks!

it is pretty weird tbh

i feel like top gun and rambo just arent on the ilx radar i guesswwww

uh, i pressed w by accident there sorry

no Lethal Weapon wtf

lol s1ocki did u have a stroke

I don't have any particular love for Top Gun or the Rambo franchise tbh

Lethal Weapon franchise either

ILX's anti-mullet sentiment?

if this doesn't get your blood pumping

http://youtu.be/5HPrIeQFHaw

you're just not an AMERICAN, I guess

Top Gun could still place? I guess chances are slim though.

but

action movie poll

cmon

Lethal Weapon is fun & great

I would've expected 'Minority Report' to place as it made top 100 of the 2000s poll not so long ago, but not going to happen now.

I find not many people like the fourth Die Hard movie as much as I do. It's OTT on so many levels , but in a completely knowing way. The whole thing is a wink at the audience. I guess it turns some people off.

Minority Report sucks

Wait so no Crouching Tiger? /shakes head

I like Minority Report a lot, but I've seen it so many times that it's kind of like wallpaper at this point. :(

no Hero either

Never mind. I was thinking of Collateral.
