A complete-ish looking list of films that more or less qualify, sorted by decade. Caveat: you'll want to filter out the films that also fall under "prohibited categories" on your own.

Who are the greatest baseball players from the time period 1980-today?

We should be EXCLUDING pitchers, because they can't hit the ball well. Also excluded:
-- Outfielders
-- Infielders
-- National League Players
-- Blonds
-- Players With Brown Eyes
-- Left-Handed Players
-- Yankees

I think I'm with hilker on this one.

p.s. But I think Yankees should be excluded.

The next time I try to come up with a fun activity, I'll be sure to run it by you first for your approval. Hopefully then you can put your energy toward something more constructive, like participation.

In summary, lick me.

Agreed.

On the one hand I see hilker's point, but I also see what you're trying to get at--straight action without the frills, not so much mixed-genre stuff. It is making it harder to come up with choices, but hey. That's the point.

I think the rules are

I think the rules are carefully crafted to exclude one movie in particular which is inarguably the greatest action movie of all time.

"Back Door Babes XIV" is not an action movie just because your mom gets some action in it.

Action, not adventure

Permalink Submitted by MandaX on Mon, 09/22/2008 - 2:11pm.

Well, yeah, it's the greatest adventure movie of all time. There is a difference, and it's a fine-grained one. Although I'd also say it's arguably a better movie than almost any straight action movie ever made.
