Ok, tournament time fellas. This go around... action movies. This should be a big enough genre to field a 64 movie bracket.
This is the nomination round. **nominate your favorites (up to 30) EVEN IF I'VE ALREADY NOMINATED THEM**. This will determine the seeding. The more nominations a movie gets, the higher the seeding it will get.
EDIT: ***Majority vote is to EXCLUDE super-hero movies (due to potential super-hero tournament in the future). If you can think of any other rules/stipulations that might apply. Maybe no horror for similar reasons?
Previous tournament outcomes:
Sexiest actress x 3 - Beckinsale, Daddario, and Connelly
Greatest animated movie - The Lion King
Best TV show - *I had serious health issues pop up right as the final four came out and didn't post for almost a year, sorry. Final four was Breaking Bad, Seinfeld, Cheers, and The Wire.
Best sports movie - Rocky
Let's make this another good one! Let the voting begin.
In no particular order (subject to editing):
Goldfinger
Terminator
Terminator 2
Crouching Tiger, hidden Dragon
Apocalypto
Oldboy
Kill Bill
Kill Bill 2
Inception
The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly

I see you left out Die Hard for some commie reason. The Lethal Weapon movies should be on the list. Also They Live!
And, yes, no super hero movies.

If you want to nominate some that I already have, you can do that too. It doesn't have to be movies I didn't mention.

You can't do that without pretty strict limitations..... like why not Avengers, but something that has to be on the list like The Fifth Element or Terminator 2.
Super Hero are essentially weak sci-fi movies.
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is literally about mythical Chinese superheroes.

They are. I think you exclude them because they could easily make up a tournament on their own that we could do later. I mean you might end up having a Dark Knight vs Endgame final in the Action movie tournament and the same thing if we do a super-hero movie. Just my thinking.

If you're excluding super hero movies, then I think you should exclude westerns, also. That's it's own genre.
Terminator
T2
The Bourne Identity
Raiders of the Lost Ark
IJ: Temple of Doom
IJ: The Last Crusade
ETA: Braveheart, Saving Private Ryan
