There’s no such thing as an action film, only a James Bond film, as James Bond = action. So, in compiling my Top 10 Action movies of all time, what I am actually doing is compiling my Top 10 James Bond films of all time, and no easy task that is. So here goes, in the customary reverse order. 10. Live and Let Die (1973) – Roger Moore’s first outing as Bond is a confident affair, with an intriguing voodoo connection and a stunning Bond girl in the form of Jane Seymour as Solitaire. The stunts in this film are impressive, especially the boat chase sequence near the end of the film, and you either love or hate Sheriff J W Pepper – I love him! ... Read the complete review

OK action films aren't meant to have an especially elaborate plot at their centre, and usually only ask for a mild understanding of why things are blowing up and getting shot. But occasionally you get an action film that is more than just guns and the shooting of, sometimes there's a little bit of an interesting plot under all the fluff. Now I know this says top ten, but I want to narrow it down to five - partly because there aren't a vast number of such films I really like enough to write about, and party because I don't want to be here all night! None of these five films I've listed are especially clever in a storytelling ... Read the complete review

Ten sexy erotic, but good films you can get in Blockbusters… Guys (or girls) ever wondered around Blockbusters looking at the back of“those”18 certificates looking for pictures of girls snogging and thinking if its going to be fun for a night in. Read on if you hate plastic ones that stick up and that silly music when they get it on. Pluck up the nerve, approach the counter, and hand it over, at least the titles are not too obvious, well maybe a little in some cases. 1) WILDTHINGS…The incredibly sexy pneumatic breasted Denise Richards and Neve Campbell are the sexy stars of this twisting and groaning murder mystery thriller. ...

After sci-fi films my favourite genre must be action, and although I could probably list 10 sci-fi action films, but I'll try to keep it to action, through and through (but I can't help if some are set in the future!). So, in no particular order, here goes....... Commando -------- It's Arnie. It's violent. It's action at its best. Obviously as far as films go this isn't going to win any awards or change any lives, but as pure action films go it's one of the best (in my humble opinion). The plot is pretty bog standard involving the usual bad guy with hostage thing, but the final scene which has Arnie ... Read the complete review

I was tempted to call this 'The Top-Ten No Brainers', but looking through my list I realised that this would be something of crime to describe some of these as no-brainers. Many action movies are just that, hi-octane, brain on hold affairs and are extremely enjoyable at the same time. Screw the plot, sack the scriptwriter, move in the big name stars and watch them forget how to act for a while! Who needs anything else when we have spent $100 million on sets and stunts...and who still can deny that some of the most enjoyable movies ever produced seem to follow exactly this pattern? Well true, but doesn't it also take a fantastic script etc. to make a truly ... Read the complete review
