The best action movies
Chases, fights, and set-pieces built for a room that wants the volume up. These are the best action movies ever made, ranked by a weighted score that balances how highly a film is rated against how many people rated it — so a true classic beats an obscure title with a handful of perfect votes. Right now that includes The Dark Knight, The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King and The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. Pick your contenders and launch a poll in a tap.

FAQ
- How is the "best action movies" list ranked?
- By a weighted rating — the same idea behind IMDb and TMDB top-rated lists. It blends each film's average rating with its number of votes, so widely-loved classics rise above films with very few (but very high) ratings.
- Does this include foreign-language action movies?
- Yes. The best-of lists include films in any language, so acclaimed international action movies can make the cut alongside English-language titles.
- Is it free to make a poll from this list?
- Yes. Tap "Use This Template" to start a poll pre-loaded with these picks, share the link, and let your group vote — no account needed to vote.
