108 Best Action Movies of All Time Ranked by Looper
"Thrills, spills, chills, and kills! Those are the main reasons we immerse ourselves in the transcendent world of cinema. To see big, amazing, improbable, and even impossible stuff happen on the movie screen is a vital experience, particularly when the film playing is an action movie. It just gets the blood pumping and the eyes popping to see impressive feats of stunt work and death defiance. And each year, Hollywood and other movie strongholds release tons of action movies, trying to capture that magic. While many are certainly satisfying, only a few contain that elusive combination of a great story, unforgettable characters, and an unmatched technical mastery of stunts 'n' squibs necessary to go beyond genre thrills and achieve the status of truly great cinema. The following movies have all reached that lofty status. Here are Looper's picks for the best action movies ever made." - looper.com
