It is one of the best films ever made, but I would not call it an action adventure film. Drama all the way, great war movie like you said and is arguably one of the best ones ever made. Does not mean it is a great action adventure film, too much drama in it honestly for me to call it that. The Hurt Locker is up there in war movies and one should not be calling that an action adventure film, Glory is also arguably better than Saving Private Ryan.

seminoles1 Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Terminator 2: Judgment Day. It's my favorite movie ever. It deserves a spot in this tournament...but I can't blame people for voting Jurassic Park over it just like I didn't blame people for voting The Matrix over it for Sci-Fi. I'll be real disappointed and confused if something else besides those 2 wins, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvert28 Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Jurassic Park will always hold a special place in my heart. So I picked that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrILL! Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 (edited) Saving Private Ryan is a war film and Braveheart classified maybe as an epic (alongside Troy, Gladiator etc). They’re the 2 best films listed but in the wrong category. Shocker. Gotta go with Jurassic Park with T2 a close 2nd. Edited May 21, 2020 by thrILL!

How is Saving Private Ryan and Braveheart not also an action or adventure film? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPR isn't an action film cuz the characters feel sad about their pew-pews and booms booms /s Edited May 22, 2020 by animaltested 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be a close one but yeah I agree. To me it is clearly the best action/adventure film in this group no question, and honestly a historic movie for the time it was made. Absolutely outstanding! Personal choice but to me a robot dinosaur looks far more realistic than a 100% CGI one. Jurassic Park looks so good and is very well done, funny, entertaining, exciting, interesting, unique, thought provoking, it has it all for an action/adventure for being made in 1993 which is crazy impressive. Looks like it will be a close call, I do not get the Saving Private Ryan as an action/adventure film at all though, no clue where that is coming from. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you not consider war films worthy of their own category? Just bcuz a film has action in it doesn't mean it doesn't fit in a better and more specific category. Empire Strikes Back has action and adventure but it won the sci-fi category where it was better suited. Ghostbusters has action in yet it's considered a comedy. There are endless examples but we've already seen so many overlaps in these polls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we’re only doing 8 genres, there has to be some wiggle room. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
