 | The Ultimate Matrix Collection (The Matrix/ The Matrix Reloaded/ The Matrix Revolutions/ The Animatrix)
Buy used from: $16.14 The movies that have redefined the action genre. Martial Arts, Mechs, Killer machines, Car Chases, Guns, Swords and a killer story.
|
 | The Road Warrior
Buy used from: $1.94 The action/adventure classic from down under. Released in 1981, the awesome chase sequence still remains the best ever!
|
 | Terminator 2 - Judgment Day (Extreme DVD)
Buy new: $9.49 / Used from: $0.95 *THE* action movie (at least until 1999 when The Matrix came out). This one still remains a classic and any action fan's DVD collection is incomplete without it.
|
 | Aliens (Two-Disc Collector's Edition)
Buy new: $17.49 / Used from: $4.49 Technically a sequel to Ridley Scott's sci-fi/horror classic "Alien", James Cameron's "Aliens" is more of an action epic with tough-as-nails marines battling the nasty xenomorphs.
|
 | Die Hard (Widescreen Edition)
Buy used from: $0.20 A high-rise taken over by terrorists, a loner cop to save the day... simple plot eh? The action makes up for it!
|
 | Hard Boiled - Criterion Collection
Buy used from: $17.97 John Woo is the master of gunplay! More rounds of ammunition are fired than World War II! The hospital shoot-out is one of the best shoot-outs ever, not to mention the longest I've seen in any movie!
|
 | Predator (Widescreen Collector's Edition)
Buy new: $16.49 / Used from: $2.00 Another Arnie classic. Starts out as a military movie and changes to a sci-fi/horror/survival movie.
|
 | Equilibrium
Buy new: $12.49 / Used from: $2.90 An awesome post-apocalyptic story with some amazing hyperkinetic gunfights! Trust me, you haven't seen gun battles like these! And no, it doesn't rip off The Matrix.
|
 | Versus (Special Edition)
Buy new: $34.95 / Used from: $4.17 Yakuza, zombies, immortals, cops, prisoners, zombies with guns... yes, it's all a bit weird. But this little ultraviolent shoot-em-up-slice-em-up flick from Japan is awesome and extremely funny!
|
 | The Transporter (Special Delivery Edition)
Buy used from: $1.15 The movie that made Jason Statham an action star. 5 points for the action, 1 point for the plot... but who cares about the plot? Also check out the sequel for more insanity!
|
 | Desperado (Special Edition)
Buy new: $12.99 / Used from: $0.96 Some of the coolest gunplay ever! Guitar cases with enough weapons to start a war! And did I mention Guitar cases firing rockets?
|
 | Unleashed (Unrated Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $12.49 / Used from: $0.69 Jet Li's best English movie. A bit on the slow side but once the fights start they don't let go!
|
 | Kill Bill - Volume One
Buy new: $11.49 / Used from: $1.77 Don't mess with the bride... Enough bloody martial arts action to please any action fan. Volume 2 is a bit low on action though...
|
 | Mortal Kombat
Buy new: $9.49 / Used from: $1.45 One of the best video game adaptations IMO. Might seem a little cheesy now but it's great mindless fun! Now only if it was R-rated... Note: Avoid the sequel at all costs!
|
 | The Blade Trilogy (Blade/ Blade II/ Blade: Trinity)
Buy new: $36.49 / Used from: $12.16 Half human, half vampire and all-around badass! Awesome shoot-outs and hand-to-hand fight scenes. Blade 1 and 2 are awesome... the third isn't that great, but still worth watching.
|
 | Ronin
Buy new: $12.49 / Used from: $1.00 One of the best car chases ever put on film!
|
 | Time and Tide
Buy used from: $2.21 Another Japanese action flick with extremely cool shoot-outs and fights.
|
 | Face/Off
Buy used from: $1.75 John Woo's best American film. The plot might look a little far-fetched but it works! Travolta and Cage have great chemistry.

Listmania!
