    Directed by Kathryn Bigelow

    Without a doubt, Kathryn Bigelow knows how to craft great action/thriller movies, with Point Break exemplifying this well. It’s also a noteworthy film for Keanu Reeves, given it was one of his first opportunities to show off his capabilities as an action movie star, with such abilities being further realized through The Matrix and John Wickfilms later in his career. Patrick Swayze also gives one of his most iconic performances here, playing the leader of a gang of bank robbers, with Reeves pl...

    Directed by Zhang Yimou

    House of Flying Daggersis more than just an action/martial arts movie, as there are strong drama/romance elements spread throughout, but it’s all very well-balanced in the end. The film’s story takes place more than 1000 years ago, and involves several people who are wrapped up in an extended conflict between corrupt government forces and an army of rebel warriors. Coming out at a time when martial arts cinema seemed to be having a brief resurgence in popularity, House of Flying Daggers reall...

    Directed by Gordon Parks

    A classic action/crime film that pushed boundaries for its time, Shaft is well-recognizedas a distinctive 1970s classic, not to mention an influential one that also happened to have a pair of follow-ups in the 21st century, not to mention two direct sequels in the years following its release. The plot’s pretty simple, following the title character (first name John) as he undertakes a mission to retrieve the kidnapped daughter of a powerful criminal. The story might not be anything too out-the...

    Directed by George Miller

    Some might say Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga is a tad too recent to be called one of the all-time greatest action movies, but the spectacle and creativity on offer is just too immense to resist. It serves as a prequel to 2015’s Mad Max: Fury Road, and does contain more of an emphasis on story, character, and world-building, all the while having similarly entertaining bursts of action. Though Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga is long and not as consistently action-packed, the runtime does still allow for plen...

    Directed by Masaki Kobayashi

    Masaki Kobayashi made plenty of films that dealt with violent conflict, though his movies classifiable as action films are a good deal more patient and sparing with their action sequences than most. Samurai Rebellionis an example of this, as it’s mostly a drama with some brief spurts of intense action here and there, though the build-up to physical conflict taking part proves to be supremely tense in its own way. The story takes a critical look at feudalism and the samurai way of life, with a...

    Directed by Jack Hill

    Few actors or actresses have ever been quite as cool as Pam Grier, especially when she was at the height of her popularity in the 1970s (though she had a great comeback in the 1990s, partly thanks to Jackie Brown). Of her early films, Coffy and Foxy Brown are likely Grier's most iconic, with the former being the slightly stronger one overall, particularly for those after a satisfying crime/action movie. Coffy sees a nurse taking matters into her own hands when the drugs and crime that surroun...

    Directed by William Friedkin

    It's always hard to top a film that’s already seen as a classic when it comes to doing a reboot/remake, and William Friedkin therefore had a difficult task ahead of him when it came to making Sorcerer. This 1977 film is a reimagining of The Wages of Fear, which is one of the best movies of the 1950s. Both films are white-knuckle thriller/adventure films, following individuals tasked with transporting highly explosive material across rough terrain. It's hard to say which is better between The...

    Directed by Guy Hamilton

    Though it feels like the James Bond movies have been around forever, back in 1964, the film series was relatively new. In fact, Goldfinger was only the third of the bunch, but to this date, it’s still usually considered up there as one of the greatest movies featuring 007, and includes perhaps Sean Connery’s greatest single performance in the lead roleout of all of them. Narratively, Goldfingeris typical spy/adventure/action stuff, with the main villain having an ambitious plan that involves...

    Directed by Alfred Hitchcock

    Though he made many great movies throughout his time, few Alfred Hitchcock films can strictly be labeled as action movies. Most of the time, Hitchcock was focused on suspense, favoring the build-up to an explosion more than showing the explosion itself, for example. But then came North by Northwest, which was one of his most action-packed efforts and showed the filmmaker was more than capable of tackling that broadest and most wide-appealing of genres. North by Northwest is also a thriller, a...
