50 Greatest Action Movies Of All Time

10. The Fugitive (1993)

Crank 2
Warner Bros.

Andrew Davis' high-octane chase movie was a critical and commercial smash hit, earning almost $370m at the box office and landing seven Academy Award nominations including Best Picture, with Tommy Lee Jones picking up the trophy for Best Supporting Actor.

Tightly-plotted and packed with action, thrills and suspense, The Fugitive is genre filmmaking at its most efficient, bolstered by a great script and two brilliant lead performances from Jones and Harrison Ford.

I don't do social media, so like or follow me in person but please maintain a safe distance or the authorities will be notified. Don't snap me though, I'll probably break. I was once labelled a misogynist on this very site in a twenty paragraph-long rant for daring to speak ill of the Twilight franchise. I stand by what I said, it's crap.
