A list of the Top 1000 Action Movies of all time. Some of the movies on the list are underrated or Hidden Gems that don't get enough attention as well. These are movies from around the world. I will attempt to focus only on films that are still amazing and are worth seeing. Some of these films will be familiar to people and some have gone underappreciated or overlooked.

Yet all will be worth your time. But be warned some that are graphicly violent.

NOTE: I will be trying to update this list as I see new movies and it is a work in progress.
