10 Epic Action Sequences That You Can Watch Over And Over Again

If you go on Wikipedia – or any other analogous website of your choosing – and check the list of highest-grossing films of all time, you might make a (not so) shocking discovery: it’s an action extravaganza! Indeed, aside from a couple occasional flicks about Ice Queens, talking toys and sinking ships (the last of which, by the way, I have no idea why it’s there), the whole list is dominated by action movies.

True, the contemporary movie world might be all about massive transforming robots, grown men dressing in superhero costumes and one tiny Hobbit – but the good ol’ Indy will never be forgotten. At least if Spielberg and Lucas get to decide (I’m still waiting on that next re-re-re-re-release).

Nevertheless, the truck sequence is filled with compelling action, amazing cinematography, superb acting and most of all: great fun. It hasn’t lost its effect over these 30 years – and it probably never will.
