10 Best Action Movies 2009 ...
By Mercy • Feb 17, 2008

Just the genre I love. If it has bombs, gore, guns and games, then that’s my movie! Here are the 10 best action movies that I’ve seen. You can’t miss even one of these if you’re an action buff. Read on!
Independence Day
Add a few aliens to the above list of bombs, gore and guns and you have a super science fiction film based on alien invasion. The special effects are amazing and will leave you open-mouthed.

The Bourne Ultimatum
Although I hadn’t seen the earlier movies, this one was a pleasant surprise. Matt Damon plays the role of Jason Bourne a CIA assassin. This thriller has all the right ingredients to keep you rooted to your seat.

Poseidon
Don’t you just love it when you have a ship, a tidal wave and mindboggling special effects? Well, I do! Although a remake of the original, Poseidon tells the sad tale of a sea vessel that turned over! Truly thrilling!

Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle
This 2003 comedy/action flick stars Lucy Liu, Drew Barrymore and Cameron Diaz. The three leading ladies keep the movie action packed with kickboxing and karate. Although you need to bend your imagination backwards to believe some scenes, it sure is entertaining!

Vertical Limit
Alpinists take on K2 but soon an avalanche causes disaster and claims the lives of all the members except a few. It’s a beautiful movie that journeys through hope, frustration, will power and faith.

The Mask of Zorro
Apart from the fact that Catherine Zeta-Jones looks like a million dollars and that Antonio Banderas shows off his accent, this movie has plenty of action scenes replete with sword fights. It’ s a complete entertainer! Perfect for the entire family.

Armageddon
It may sound strange that NASA will send blue collar drillers into space to blow up an asteroid. However, Michael Bay can make the unusual seem ordinary. This action movie is especially beautiful as it has a lovely story finely woven into it.

Face/Off
When you have Nicolas Cage and John Travolta in the same movie, you know it’s going to be a blockbuster! Identity theft of the worst kind is what you can expect from this mind-numbing thriller.

Con Air
Nicolas Cage is grouped together with a bunch of hard core criminals on an airplane. Well, he’s the good guy here wrongly convicted of a crime. So all hell breaks loose when the airplane is hijacker by Sirus the Virus!

Die Hard (all the movies)
Why do they keep coming after Bruce Willis? In a way I’m glad they do, as we get to see some heavy-duty action scenes that cover sea, air and land. What is it with this guy? He’s a super hero alright!

Those were the 10 best action movies listed for your viewing pleasure. Keep your eyes open for new ones that will be released this year!

i like your taste.i like the movies too.

well, to me you tried but this are not the top 10 action movies you can do better than this please i want to see some real action movies.n Thank you and free me right now............

My all-time favorite is 'Festal City - The Burning Darkness', 1997. The way the bombs and zombies get together is a spectical unbeleived. I would have thought that ice would melt at 35 degrees F. Drinks would require constant attention and refreshing. Cheers.

To: Olga Moore, Thank you Olga. I used to save the list of movies which I have as collection in an excel sheet. I thought of sharing it along with the rating to give an idea about the film for some to pick and watch and I did it. Regarding the slumdog millionaire rating, I was over-cautious not to be biased for a film that partly belongs to my country and which fetched 3 academic awards to Indians. Like you, I enjoyed the movie very much and no doubt the director Danny Boyle has to be appreciated for the trust he had on Indians because well established Hollywood directors never ever imagined about shooting their full film in India.

There should be "Shoot em up" on that list. that is the current most talked about action movie. SHOOT EM UP. hillarious.

Vertical Limit? Independence Day? Poseidon??? This has got to be the WORST movie list I've ever encountered.

Well certainly for a woman's list, this cannot be a good list. It's loaded with action crap, woman don't want to see. I think mr. Bruckheimer is behind this list along with his pall (which is one of the worst directors) Michael Bay...It their site right???

To Olga Moore, When posting my favorites, I was little hesitant on seeing a lot of negative comments in this page but I am happy to see yours. No doubt, you are very gentle. I will definitely try creating a blog in the near future.
