45 Best Action Movies of All Time, Ranked by MovieWeb

"Whether it's our basest human tendencies toward competition and argumentation, an obsessive quirk of some hobbyists, or a simple marketing ploy, fans love ranking things and pitting them against each other. 'Best Of' lists are extremely popular and feed into these tendencies, so what better genre to rank than the genre solely focused on people fighting each other — action? Ranking lists can shine light on titles that more people should see, bringing exposure to a variety of films while also validating the opinions of others and celebrating the truly worthy. Now, it's tricky to list the best action films ever made, because few films solely exist within one single genre, most of all action. While many films debatably could be discussed here, the following are the most essential and greatest action films of all time." - movieweb.com
