Ozzy Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 Enter the Dragon Aguirre, the Wrath of God How is Enter the Dragon not on here? Best action film of this decade potentially. Some other nominations do not fit the category, including Deliverance which is a thriller to me semi horror, not very action packed and not some great adventure either, same with French Connection. Apocalypse Now is an awesome film but might be more of a mystery and drama than thriller adventure but hard to call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come on, somebody. Aguirre, the Wrath of God is a cool movie and absolutely is an adventure, would not call it super action packed though but is a very cool film and has one of the best villains ever in any film. Klaus Kinski is very good in Fitzcarraldo which could have been nominated in the 1980s action potentially, it is a interesting film with some very impressive shots in it and more action arguably than Aguirre but is not as good of a film or as interesting. Too bad that Klaus Kinski is such a dirtbag human being, which ultimately takes him down a few notches in terms of his professional work he has done.
