Hi folks. Back on the old site, there was a brief period of time where I put some tournaments together to pass time. I enjoyed doing it. I want to do it again. Simple as that. The focus for this edition will be as the title suggests, action movies from the 2010's. I hope to continue to previous decades upon completion of this, but for now, we will zero in on the most recent decade. I will not be limiting it to one film per franchise, so all Mission Impossibles, Fast and Furious, etc are eligible. I think at this point, it's fair to say comic book movies are almost their own thing with how they blew up in the 2010's, but I am going to include a handful that I think are good fits for this. I am looking for at least 48 films, but hopefully 64 in the vein of NCAA March Madness. Before we start, I am looking to see what else can be added to the list below. Any suggestions are welcome, and if you want to potentially replace something that's on the list for one that is not, I am open to a friendly discussion. Thanks for any and all help.
Best Action Films of the 2010's
1. Fast Five 2. Fast and Furious Six 3. Fast Seven 4. The Fate of the Furious 5. Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol 6. Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation 7. Mission Impossible: Fallout 8. The Raid: Redemption 9. John Wick 10. John Wick 2 11. John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum 12. Mad Max: Fury Road 13. Skyfall 14. Spectre 15. Captain America: Civil War 16. Captain Ameica: Winter Soldier 17. The Avengers 18. The Avengers: Age of Ultron 19. The Avengers: Infinity War 20. The Avengers: Endgame 21. The Dark Knight Rises 22. The Raid 2 23. Edge of Tomorrow 24. Atomic Blonde 25. Dredd 26. Baby Driver 27. Hanna 28. The Kingsman 29. Thor: Ragnarok 30. Elysium 31.Jack Reacher 32. The Bourne Legacy 33. Jason Bourne 34. Avengement 35. Pacific Rim 36. Man of Steel 37. Upgrade 38.The Man from U.N.C.L.E 39.The Mechanic 40. Transformers: Dark of the Moon 41. The Foreigner 42. Deadpool 43. Deadpool 2 44. Guardians of the Galaxy 45. X-Men: Days of Future Past 46. Dawn of the Planet of the Apes 47.The Expendables
So that's what I have so far. Looking for any ones that I missed to get us to 64. And again, I'm open to making some swaps as well, if need be. A lot of this was just spit balling.
Let me know what ya got. |

Ip Man 2. Haven't seen 3 or 4 yet, but they are probably worth considering. Ip Man 1 was 2008.
13 Assassins for sure, Lucy definitely, probably Olympus Has Fallen, 71' if anyone's seen it.
If we're including superhero movies we might as well include Star Trek Beyond. Kong: Skull Island?
Would Gravity qualify? How about The Grey? The Revenant?
Maybe Predators (2010) if you need to fill slots

I'll throw in A-Team for you Ian, and def IP Man 2, Star Trek Beyond, Kong, Lucy, Olympus and 71. And I'll def pull from some of Neverending's choices, which I appreciate. I'll throw Logan in as well, forgot that.
I don't know how I feel about something like Revenant, or Gravity. I guess they could, but I feel like those movies are almost entirely something different. I am open to hearing arguments for these or other ones like this.
Like Inception? Does that count? Dunkirk or 1917, or other war movies? Thoughts from the crowd.

Almost had a sweep. Logan slashes its way through F8, leaving Diesel fat, broken and sad. Have no fear Vin. You and your friends have 3 more opportunities to advance to round 2. Next battle up shortly.  |
