There are some things in life that are just a given. One of those? A “best of” list that will make people argue. Our latest edition? A new “20 Greatest Action Movies” list as tallied by “Men’s Health.” We’ll just give you the list…you can take it from there.
- “First Blood” (1982) – Before “Rambo” became a walking/talking cartoon.
- “Kill Bill Vol 1” (2003) –For the “Crazy 88” fight alone.
- “The Raid 2:Redemption” (2014) – How many of you have seen it?
- “Mission Impossible –Rogue Nation” (2015) – Lots to choose from here.
- “The Bourne Ultimatum” (2006) –They should’ve ended the series here.
- “John Wick” (2014) –Never kill an assassin’s dog.
- “Enter The Dragon” (1973) –What made Bruce Lee
- “The Killer” (1989) –John Woo at his best.

- “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” (2000) –Underrated by action standards.
- “Terminator 2:Judgement Day” (1991) – Still holds a standard few can match.
- “Bullitt” (1968) – There was no keeping Steve McQueen off the list.
