Essay21 2,385 Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Well, since you asked.. 1) Spiderman Homecoming 2) Winter Soldier 3) Black Panther 4) Ragnorak 5) Civil War 6)GotG 1 7) Iron Man 8) Avengers 9)Captain America First Avenger 10) Ant Man I should have asked, why SMH number 1? I really liked it but number 1 seems like a stretch. Link to post Share on other sites
CobaltBlue 662 Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 SMH had one of the best villains of all-time. Link to post Share on other sites
Essay21 2,385 Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Birdman? Not sure I’d agree on that. Link to post Share on other sites
BigDMcGee 3,352 Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 The reason I liked SMH is the same reason really that IW isn't on my list. I like more personal stories rather than big spectacles that rush through character development and try to do 10 things at once. I loved Vulture (who is a corny, terrible villain in the comic). He was well developed and even likable. The twist in the movie was utterly unexpected, wonderfully executed and resulted in a crazy amount of tension. One of the best movie twists I've ever seen All of the action was well executed and impactful, none of the cgi vs cgi wars between armies that are boring and lack any tension. Plus, I generally love the Tony vs Spiderman dynamic. Also PP was the first credible PP onfilm. He was perfect as Parker. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Essay21 2,385 Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 I would certainly agree that this actor is by far the best peter Parker. And the movie is really, really good. Not making my top ten is not a negative reflection. I’ve become a huge fan of these movies and love almost all of them. Link to post Share on other sites

Essay21 2,385 Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 I agree too. It’s a really good movie. I just prefer the other avengers so I like those movies more. But I will say Spidey is great in Civil War. Love him during the battle at the airport. Link to post Share on other sites
Ron_Mexico 4,219 Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Forgetting Sarah Marshal and Get him to the Greek > everything on this list other than This is the End Was Seth Rogan even in Forgetting Sarah Marshall? Link to post Share on other sites
Essay21 2,385 Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 He certainly was not, Ronald. He certainly was not. Link to post Share on other sites
Dubey 1,035 Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Was Seth Rogan even in Forgetting Sarah Marshall? No. I think I was responding to someone who said Jason Segal > Seth Rogan Link to post Share on other sites
SuitedAces21 2,722 Posted July 1, 2018 Author Share Posted July 1, 2018 Essay's Top Ten Action Movies of the 1990's 1. Speed 2. Desperado 3. Point Break 4. The Rock 5. True Lies 6. Demolition Man 7. Con Air 8. Under Siege 9. Daylight 10. Sudden Death Link to post Share on other sites
BigDMcGee 3,352 Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Face/off and The Matrix are glaring ommissions. Can we all agree that Keanu is the GOAT action hero Link to post Share on other sites
SuitedAces21 2,722 Posted July 1, 2018 Author Share Posted July 1, 2018 face/off was a tough omission for sure. the matrix, to me, is a science fiction film and not an action film, so i wouldn't put it in this category. Link to post Share on other sites
BigDMcGee 3,352 Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Shouldn't Demolition man be sci-fi, then? 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Essay21 2,385 Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Perhaps, but demolition man just has that 90s feel whereas Matrix was groundbreaking. Link to post Share on other sites
BigDMcGee 3,352 Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 That's fair. The Matrix doesn't really feel like a 90's movie. I award you one McGee Merit for making a good point 1 Link to post Share on other sites
brvheart 1,752 Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Essay's Top Ten Action Movies of the 1990's 1. Speed 2. Desperado 3. Point Break 4. The Rock 5. True Lies 6. Demolition Man 7. Con Air 8. Under Siege 9. Daylight 10. Sudden Death This is a fine list, but it's ridiculous that Point Break isn't #1. It's a much better movie than Speed, as are most of the other movies on this list.

Untilted 158 Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 True Lies was great The only time I ever tolerated Tom Arnold Loved it when he kissed a skinny lamp post after it shielded his fat body from a spray of bullets Link to post Share on other sites
Untilted 158 Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 I liked this list. Then I googled 90's action movies Fugitive, Die Hard with a Vengeance, Hunt for Red October, Jurassic Park, T2 and Total Recall Link to post Share on other sites
Essay21 2,385 Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 I liked this list. Then I googled 90's action movies Fugitive, Die Hard with a Vengeance, Hunt for Red October, Jurassic Park, T2 and Total Recall Fugitive is amazing but not an action movie. It’s a drama thriller. DHWaV is a great movie. Just missed. HFRO is a drama thriller as well. Total Recall good, but not ETTM. Link to post Share on other sites
BigDMcGee 3,352 Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Total Recall is sci-fi, but it's also better than anything on that list 1 Link to post Share on other sites

brvheart 1,752 Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 No, but seriously, there isn't a movie on that list that's better than any of the movies that Untilted listed (except for Point Break). Link to post Share on other sites
