Who was just like: Terminator 2 judgement day

Just here to make sure Terminator 2 is at its rightful top spot. Carry on.

So happy to see people appreciating Seven Samurai! What a masterpiece and truly one of the greatest films ever made

I was hoping to see Edge of Tomorrow on this list... but I must admit it was a well-crafted list

Keanu is an action star legend: speed, point break, john wick, the matrix. All fantastic movies

80s was the golden era of rated R cgi free blow up steroid action flicks. Good times

I’ve probably watched Terminator 2 more than a hundred times, from VHS to digital copy. Apart from the great story, action packed scenes, and iconic musical, it has so many memorable one liners. Absolute Masterpiece from James Cameron and Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Watchmojo: *Makes a top 50 list of action movies* Michael Bay: “Show time.”

Man they really disrespected Gladiator on this one.

I don’t know if it’s pride or depression I feel knowing that I grew up in the 80’s and 90’s where most of the top 20 of this list takes place. I’m starting to realize that’s it’s not just my opinion that this was the peak of action movies.

And honestly, Heat is definitely in the Top 10 range. Although it starts really slow, when they walk out that bank, Heat is one of THE BEST SHOOTOUTS in movie history.

Mission: Impossible - Fallout deserved a much higher place on this list

MAAAAAAAN. i have MAJOR issues with this list!!!! HOW IS "CON AIR" ON THIS LIST AND "LEON:THE PROFESSIONAL" IS NOT?????!!!!!!!!!

Good list. Obviously everyone has their opinions and they all differ from person to person but overall these were 50 great movies. That being said.... Leon the Professional, IP Man, Hero, Saving Private Ryan, Tombstone, Mad Max Fury Road, Kingsman, and my personal addition that I love that people don't often talk about Atomic Blonde.

So happy you added mad max 2 to the list, well done

Did I miss True Lies???

"I Didn't Kill My Wife! . . ." "I Don't Care . . ." (The Fugitive, is one of my all time favorite Action movie)

Big Trouble in Little China should’ve been on here!

I’m pleased to see the respect shown to the Asian films included on this list esp Hard Boiled, Police Story and special mention of the Killer as those movies influenced an entire era of Hollywood action movies, loved that Aliens made it so high and I’m in agreement, Leon the professional should’ve been here . That said Yippee Kiyaye 💪🏽
