Top Ten Action Movies I Love

Today on the bus home, I was thinking about the movies I love to watched.
Making a list of them, I noticed that most of it was Action films!
To pay a special homage to action films, I'm taking time out of my studying to compile this top ten list of movies I love.



10: Nikita
Hands up anyone who has heard of this movie before.
Well, actually I couldn't think of my number 10 action movie, so this has to make do for the time being. Its a very nice movie, with lots of breakthrough scenes that inspire lots of other movies. This movie is one of those that has an actress in the leading role.




9: Star Wars
I watched this movie when I was a kid, and I was so engrossed with it, that I remember the lines of those "special" scenes. Those lightsaber fighting, the Millennium falcon, the TIE fighters. FANTASTIC man. Its so incredible, that someone can think up of the idea of Star Wars, when at that age, the ideas of civilizations in space were so far away!




8: Matrix
Another breakthrough movie. With the bullet-mode scenes, there was now a new way of filming fighting scenes. The idea of the matrix was also something refreshing from the usual Hollywood stories, and I just love the idea.
One of my favourites scenes is when Neo rescues Morpheus in the building full of agents and fights his way out.
Dodging bullets, easy peasy.




7: Saving Private Ryan
Its weird how when this movie first came out, I didn't really had the urge to watch it. I wasn't really a fan of war movies as I hate seeing the blood, the gore and the sadness. But, after seeing it, I'm really amazed.
It's such a sad and unfair ending. Out of all the soldiers that were sent to save Private Ryan, only 2 made it out alive. The first 20minutes of the movie was already such an eye opener, and it just took my breath away.
Go catch it.




6: Die Hard
One mad cop, all the bad guys that he can kill, with all the odds stack against him. Its not just Die hard that was fantastic, Die hard 2 and 3 were damn good too. 4 lost a bit of its charm, but its still good. If I had to pick a favourite, I would say Die Hard 2 was my favourite. Bruce Willis always ended up in these weird stuck in a hole scenarios, but he always managed to escape it with a bang!






I hope this post is well-received. I purposely stop halfway to see if the response is good and whether it is worth it to continue posting. Recently, no one is visiting my blog and tagging it. Not as popular as 2swanskiss. If response is good, then I will post my top 5. :D
