"With so many films released every decade and every passing year burying the previous ones further down, it's not surprising there are literally hundreds of worthwhile films that have become forgotten as time passes. But new is not necessarily better, and as films are tied closely to the current culture of any given year, many films made in the past simply wouldn't be produced today for various reasons.
Which is unfortunate, as films made just a decade or so prior are ignored by future generations who overlook a film simply because it was produced some time ago. For action film fans, while there is at least one dominant current franchise (John Wick), the genre itself has been notably slipping in prominence in the past 10 years. For fans of the genre that are coming up short on contemporary action films to enjoy, please consider the ten on this list to rediscover. Each offers something new and different, despite how long ago they were made."
