GREATEST ACTION MOVIES OF ALL TIME

1. - FUTURISTIC SPACE HORROR ADVENTURE

The greatest futuristic sci-fi thrill will always remain - ALIENS

"Sigourney Weaver returns as Ripley, and joins a team of high-tech combat vets sent to investigate the disappearance of the space colonists!" Determined to end the recurring nightmares of her terrifying ordeal, Ripley returns to completely exterminate these deadly creatures.

2. - FUTURISTIC SCI-FI

One of the best sci-fi action flicks is without a doubt - TERMINATOR 2

Judgment Day not only continues the story of the 1984 Science-Fiction classic, but goes far beyond it. This time two Terminator's are sent into the past: one to kill John Connor, the other, to protect him.

3. - WESTERN

The are a multitude of old westerns that are classics, yet this new comer has no rival - TOMBSTONE.

Tombstone takes place just after the Civil War. Wyatt, Morgan and Virgil arrive in Tombstone, and meet up with Wyatt's friend, Doc Holliday. It happens that Tombstone is being terrorized by a band of outlaws called the Cowboys, led by Curly Bill. Eventually, the Earps and Doc end up in the famous O.K. Corral shootout.

4. - MEDIEVAL ADVENTURE

The only medieval action movie of its kind - BRAVEHEART

A true portrayal of how ONE man galvanized a small nation against brutal tryranny. The idea that 'Every man dies, Not every man truly lives' is especially meaningful in these cynical times.

Braveheart is based on actual events in the life of William Wallace. The movie takes place around the early 1300's in Scotland and in England. This movie is filled with action, adventure, betrayal, romance, and above all emotion.

4. - FANTASY ADVENTURE

This fantasy adventure not only has spectacular action senes but also excellent special effects and humor - WILLOW

Val Kilmer plays a sword happy hero that saves the day with a midget. A must see for any fantasy buff. Another story from the mind of George Lucas, this one finds Willow Ufgood and a wild assortment of supporting characters protecting a young Elora Danan from an evil sorceress.
