The Hunger Games
Pirates of the Caribbean
Mission Impossible
Terminator
MCU
Indiana Jones
Planet of the Apes
Spider-Man trilogy
DCEU
The Hobbit trilogy

I know a lot of these aren’t straightforward action but I’d still classify them as action franchises.

AKORIS · 10-29-2019, 02:41 PM

01] James Bond series
02] Dirty Harry
03] Death Wish
04] Lethal Weapon
05] Mission Impossible
06] John Wick
07] Terminator
08] Rambo

I'll stop there-- other series mentioned here I don't consider to be "action" films (more like "adventure", "sci-fi", etc)

GLaDOS · 10-29-2019, 02:47 PM

Don't have a definitive top 10, but I do have something...

Indiana Jones
James Bond
Jason Bourne
John Wick
Mad Max
Mission: Impossible
The Matrix

ImBlu_DaBaDee · 10-29-2019, 02:48 PM

These are ranked according to my preference for them as action movies, not necessarily in order of overall quality. I would normally put Planet of the Apes and The Avengers much higher.

10. Indiana Jones
9. Jurassic Park/World
8. The Incredibles
7. Planet of the Apes
6. The Avengers
5. The Dark Knight Trilogy
4. Daniel Craig’s James Bond 007
3. Fast & Furious
2. Jason Bourne
1. Mission: Impossible
