Question:“What is the point of large lists?” Lists like this have a "Refine list" feature (located in the right hand side of the page), which is a powerful filtering tool. With this tool one can exclude all of the films that one has already "rated"(seen), or that are in the >>>>> "watchlist", or exclude films that have been rated below lets say 6/10 stars, etc. With this list you get the ability to filter the list any way you like... to drill down on the exact content that you are looking for. All filters can be used at the same time, in any combination.

Another top 10,this time it's for the year of 2012. Most likely will be changed. But they're good anyway!

What other kinds of films are even worth to go to the cinema anymore? Open range, speed, spec. effects.. are reasons for me to still drive an hour to a cinema.
Still doing 'research' to find more matching titles, suggestions appreciated !

*[Update Daily]
High-rise horror, action and thrillers.
The plot usually involves someone having to fight their way up to the top of a block or fight their way down and out. Common set pieces include room-to-room fighting and poorly lit corridors, so I've also included films set in larger apartment buildings, which has a very similar feel even if they aren't as far off the ground (although far enough that the fall would be lethal).
The theme has become popular for zombie films and their cousins amongst the contagiously violent, as it takes the siege element introduced in Night of the Living Dead (which was heavily influenced by The Last Man on Earth) and raises the stakes to new heights.
See also: Hoodie horror, which often takes place in tower blocks. Although it might seem the opposite of subterranean horror, there are some films that are essential set in inverted tower blocks, like Resident Evil, and there are similar action movies like Fortress. In addition, Don't Ever Get in the Elevator! is a list of lift/elevator-based films.

Fitness Inspiration and GYM Motivation Movies
Basically some of my favorite non-horror or comedy movies. Mostly older stuff because I hate CGI with a passion. If you feel the same way, you might just like my list. I will be updating this list with new titles periodically. (hopefully anyway!) Thanks for looking!
Seekers for ancient truths and artefacts. Treasure hunters, adventurers and scholars or just someone with a mission.
See also: Mummy movies, which often feature archaeologists, although they are often unfortunate victims. I also have an occult detective list, which has some crossover with this list, as well as being another well-known archetype.

This bunch of misfits are calm, cool and relaxed. They definitely know what they want and know how to get it
A fair amount of super hero's, not what I was planning but I can work with it --- not sorted
Not very diverse, but hey, there are very few films, where true pure karate is shown :).
When I thought of this I did not realise how may cop shows I would recall --- Not Sorted yet
Yep... Another top 10,only that this year is 2011. I will update this in the future
This list is what I consider to be the best movies or tv shows that involve sword and/or shield action. Movies that feature gun powder need not apply.
List of Action movies I have seen... A must see list Only 7 and above in my view... Enjoy
The common denominator here is the mafia and highly regarded movies.
The best films you'd wanna watch no matter who you are, find out about popular titles before anyone else!
The Internet Archive is well-known for the Wayback Machine it hosts and they also have a very large selection of public domain media*, relevant to IMDB are the films they have and this is a list designed to bring together the science-fiction ones. I largely made the list for myself, so I could keep a track of some of these early classics as I work through their catalogue (some are classic for being good, others for being so bad they are good and some are just bad) but I'm making it public as I'm sure there are other people out there who'd be interest - if nothing else you can grab the bad ones, some beer, some friends and hold your own MST3K (a number of them have appeared on the show).
So here we have the classic Master of the Flying Guillotine along with a couple of Bruceploitation films, some reasonable kung-fu films and the oddity that is The Impossible Kid.
See also: the equivalent lists for horror and science-fiction.
Further reading: If you want to track down other PD films outside of these genres then a good place to start is Wikipedia's list of public domain films in the US, which also explains the situation. Their page on public domain films has a wider focus. There are numerous sites offering public domain films but I can't really vouch for their checks (just Google them up).
* I can't check the copyright status of each one but they are pretty diligent (although not perhaps as careful as the Gutenberg Project, but they might be being over cautious some times) so there are unlikely to be any legal issues, although you'd want to check the copyright situation in your own country to be sure (America has longer copyright period than somewhere like Australia, for example. So if you go by what is available in the US you should be fine). There are other places online with PD films but IA is the most trustworthy source.

Movies centered around the spectacle of destruction caused by natural disasters like earthquakes, floods, tornados, volcanos, asteroids and extreme climate change.
The challenge in writing a list of best action movies is to stick to the genre. Many movies are mistakingly labelled as action movies, although they primarily belong to the genres crime, SciFi, Fantasy, adventure or war! Action scenes in a movie do not automatically constitute an action movie. Please note that these are only my absolute favorite action movies. I made it a short list on purpose. There are many other action movies I enjoyed but haven't put in here.
Kung-fu films that feature a decent percentage of the Five Venoms (to be a contender it needs 3 or more of the 6, yes I know, confusing but Wei Pai/Snake was one of the 5 Venoms in the film but doesn't usually appear in the Venoms' films. I will note a few examples with only 2 of the core Venoms). All but one are directed by Chang Cheh and they are all from the Shaw Brothers. Anything else is a cheap cash-in and, to be honest, some of the ones on the list might also be but you'll have to judge that for yourself.
List order: We include a few proto-Venom films in which the team started to coalesce before the Five Deadly Venoms films and then, following that films success, the appearance of members of the group in other films often using a similar formula (with the same actors playing similar roles). As the films came thick and fast I've also noted the release dates (at least according to IMDB, some sources vary) - HK ones unless otherwise noted.

The plot of the story or should I say the idea of the movie is so great but could not deliver because of some flaws...either by acting, scripts, visual effects..etc.

The hit-man genre isn't going anywhere anytime soon: see the success of recent flicks like Red and The Mechanic and the headlines about the movie Kill List for proof. And it's worth remembering that assassins are people, too: though their profession and methods make them seem like emotionless machines, incapable of sympathy or mercy, professional killers have feelings. Sure, they have to sleep with one eye open, sometimes sitting in a chair, but that's just a consequence of the job. Killing isn't who they are; it's what they do. Our top ten assassins have sympathetic emotional sides that contrast with their cold-blooded personae.
Car chases are a classic element of action movies, and we've seen them since the Silent Era. A well-executed chase can be extremely thrilling, even in an otherwise crappy movie. Since Drive hits theaters soon, we thought it would be a good time to take a look at some of the greatest car chases to ever go careening across the silver screen
The members of this list are all suited to it sufficiently to overlook the duplication. These are characters who are not necessarily evil to the core and in some cases you even have sympathy or fondness for the character. Hush hush... They' re coming.... ( description credited to Flamehorse's List)
Not just guns and bullets but with full of sense and story... Best action film of the past 3 decades
The best among the Action Flicks Yearly... since 2000 to so far this Year
Action movies that have their 'eccentricities' but still manage to pack some serious heat. This is not a 'I have watched this movie 10 years ago on TV' kinda list. All of these are part of my collection, and I like them. This list will be updated.
Truly entertaining, all time best movies, especially for those guys’s, who doesn’t like kids stuff! Guns, bullet, thrill, suspense, awesome cinematography, direction, strong story line and acting- made these movies different from others. Sequel of a movie and same subject’s movies are put together in the list. So no more chit-chat, just enjoy and feel free to put any comments regarding my list.
Some new movies are added, check it out. Thanks to all movie lovers, who finds time to check this list and those who shown appreciation by placing valuable comments.

THE LIST CONTAINS THE MOVIES WHICH CAST A STRONG GRIP OVER THE ATTENTION OF ITS VIEWING AUDIENCE THESE ARE NON STOP ACTION FLICKS WHICH WILL KEEP ON ON THE EDGE OF YOUR SEAT AND,WHEN ITS OVER YOU WILL BE ASKING FOR MORE.........................................
In addition to the sexiest action actress- I felt I had to make this list to celebrate the incredibly talented and SEXY real action woman behind the baddass stunts that we give the Actress's all the credit for!
Some are new to the biz and others have kicked a lot of ass over the years- And there are many that didn't have photos on IMDB so I left them out- Sorry Ladies you still ROCK!
The names appear in random order-They are all of equal hottness!
Feel free to comment some names that i should add to the list

These are mostly movies with promise/good ideas, however, once the CGI 'beginners' got a hold of it, well the results are there for you to see (or avoid).
Not in order of preference. No horrors, westerns or typical-war films.
Some movies get 'old'. To me - these never got boring and are there to stay in my movies collection.

Pow! Bam! We selected these 20 action flicks on the basis of importance, impact and popularity these rock-'em, sock-'em movies have enjoyed for the past 20 years. In the case of franchises, we went with the best in the series -- but do note that "Top" does not necessarily mean "Best".
