Action movies
Is Action your favorite genre for movies? Well, I have listed a few of my favorites! I hope you enjoy and it’s okay if you don’t agree!
This was my favorite one out of all the Terminator movies!
Terminator 2: Judgment Day
I listed the original only because some like Tokyo Drift were not that great! But the rest I did like but not going to list them all!
Fast & Furious
I absolutely loved this movie! Personally the first one is my favorite one.
Pirates of the Caribbean (film series)
I admit I didn’t think I would like these. I was surprised how much I actually did. They’re all full of nonstop action and guessing what will happen next!
Mission: Impossible (film series)
I know this has been done so many times but I truly like Daniel Craig as James Bond. All of them are great, but his are my favorite.
The Films | James Bond 007
I’ve watched this movie so many times!
Face/Off
All of the John Wick movies are great! Not going to list them all!
John Wick
All of these are great! I was torn between cult classic and action because it’s both to me!
Die Hard (1988) - IMDb
I really liked this movie. I appreciate a good nonstop action movie and thought Alexander did a great job!
The Northman
I grew up with the original tv series so wasn’t sure about this but turns out I loved it!
The Fall Guy (2024 film)
This could go down in my book as a drama as well but it does have some good action scenes so here it is!
Man on Fire (2004) - IMDb
I enjoyed the complete series. It could be considered fantasy or sci-fi but I’m putting it down as action.
The Hunger Games (franchise)
I liked all three!
The Divergent Series
Super Hero Movies
Who doesn’t love superheroes? I have listed a few of my favorite movies here! Some may disagree with me and that’s okay!
Wonder Woman has always been my favorite super! I grew up watching the old tv series but I love the movies even more!
Wonder Woman
I truly liked this one! Bringing Cheetah in was so awesome to me! I’m honestly sad there won’t be more with Gal though, she was a wonderful Diana!
Wonder Woman 1984
This one is my all time favorite Batman movie. I love the way Tim Burton did this and Michael Keaton was great! Jack Nicholson was a wonderful Joker!
Batman (1989 film)
This is my second favorite Batman! I was honestly surprised the first time I watched it but fell in love with the trilogy and had to buy it!
Batman Begins
Heath Ledger will go down in history as the best Joker! You can’t convince me otherwise!!!
The Dark Knight (2008) - IMDb
The final installment of the Batman Trilogy! I was honestly sad there wasn’t going to be more. This one didn’t disappoint though I have to say!
The Dark Knight Rises
Robert Downey Jr definitely didn’t disappoint playing Tony Stark. He ended up being my favorite character if I’m honest.
Iron Man (2008) - IMDb
Even though I grew up with Christopher Reeves as Superman Henry is my favorite!
Henry Cavill
I honestly loved all of these. So instead of listing all I will just do this one. But all of them are a good watch if you love Wolverine

I consider Rocky to be a love story. Some might disagree but I’ve always loved the relationship he has with Adrienne.
Rocky
This one never gets old for me!

Another favorite of mine. I consider it a love story, although it could be a cult classic in my opinion.

“Love means never having to say you’re sorry”

The Conjuring
I truly liked the original one the best although the others are good too. It definitely gave me a few jumps throughout the movie!
