16

TELL US NOW. Baby Driver 888 GRACKED Josh D. is holding his ground in the face of a sure dunking-upon Please don't roast me here but some of the driving scenes from Baby Driver are impressive. Specially knowing the stunt driver did all that on his own. — YouTube

15

TELL US NOW. Aliens CRACKED Jesse R. says you can't go wrong with Ripley in the power loader verses the alien queen. It's not a very fast paced scene, but it's still very intense. Plus, 'Get away from her you b*tch!' is one of the greatest lines in cinema. — YouTube

14

TELL US NOW. The One CRACKED Anthony L. says it don't get no better than when Jet Li fought his evil self at the end. The good Jet Li used the softer circular Baguazang style against the linear hard style Hsing I chuan. — YouTube

TELL US NOW. The Princess Bride CRACKED Nichole A. found this shining diamond of action in a classic comedy: When Inigo Montoya finally faces the six fingered man. It gives me chills every time he repeats himself and finds the strength to defeat his most hated enemy to avenge his — YouTube

7

TELL US NOW. Raiders of the Lost Ark CRACKED Edward H. appreciates Indy's Buster Keaton-esque use of props: 'The horse/ truck chase is brilliant from start to finish. Out of respect, Indy uses every part of the truck. — YouTube

6

TELL US NOW. Blade II CRACKED Michael F. says we need to get out of the way and just let Wesley act: A lot of Blade II's action scenes are marred by really bad CGI, but one of the last ones where they finally just let Wesley Snipes, the multi-martial — YouTube

5

TELL US NOW. Kung Fu Hustle GRACKED Courtney S. favors the lost art of the flip-flop slap: Without question, the sequence from Kung Fu Hustle where she's chasing him with a flip-flop. I die laughing every time. — YouTube
