Well… my Top 10 action scenes anyway. <O
</O
I've forgotten a few, I know, if not many, so throw in what you feel I've missed or your own. <O</O
Remember: scenes not whole movies.
<O</O
<O</O
10. Saving Private Ryan: beach assault Visceral and moving. The most accurate depiction of warfare put on screen, according to those who where there. Terror, violence, and above all bravery. <O</O

<O</O
9. Untouchables: Train station shoot-out Slow paced, but tension filled and beautifully filmed. <O</O

<O</O
8. Matrix Revolutions: hanger battle The sci-fi equivalent of Private Ryans beach scene. <O</O

<O</O
7. Aliens: colonist settlement attack “There's movement all around us man!” “Your not reading it right!”<O</O

<O</O
6. Blade II: final battle Blade vs. Nomak If there's a better one on one fight scene I haven’t seen it. And I'm pretty sure I’ve seen 95% of ‘em.<O</O
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifKxlJr5wv4<O</O
<O</O
5. Equilibrium: ‘not without incident’ Can Kurt Wimmer direct the next Batman? ‘cause on the kick a$$ scale Batman-Bale isn't in the same league with Grammeton Cleric-Bale.<O</O
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TbP2djP0h5g<O</O
<O</O
4. Kung Fu Hustle: the beast vs. The landlord & the landlady Leave your anti-kung-fu movie bias at the door. Each fight ups the ante over the previous ones, but the penultimate battle between the 3 masters is the best. <O</O

<O</O
3. Heat: Street shoot-out the ultimate manifestation of ‘cops vs robbers’. <O</O
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6HHr_R6Tg8<O</O
<O</O
2. Hard Boiled: hospital shoot-out The one that changed how action movies are made.<O</O
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4OPyoJgV_YY<O</O
<O</O
1. Matrix Reloaded: highway chase This is why I go to the theater. No matter what you think about the Matrix sequels, no one can argue that the Wachowski brothers cant put together an incredible spectacle. And this is spectacle of the highest order. <O</O
