Gotta Love Them Gunslingers

Jun 22, 2009 23:18

So I just finished watching the entirety of Cowboy Bebop including the movie, and I must say that it's made it to the top of my greatest-anime-of-all-time list, which is a very short list mind you. It now goes as so: 1. Trigun 2. Cowboy Bebop 3. Full Metal Alchemist (the second series not the first piece of crap dished out). But man I love a good action show. And I've come to realize how much of an action buff I am when it comes to movies and tv shows. Take my brief but still amazing run-in with Firefly. I guess I have a thing for space cowboys. If there's a good and dirty brawl involved, I'm all for it; gun-totten' action just gets me riled up for adventure. Just to waste the potential reader's time, let me walk through a list of glorious movies that's epic on every level (with no importance in their order):
1. Glory, big star: Denzel Washington, set in the Civil War this movie tells the story of an African American platoon.
2. Saving Private Ryan, big star: need I say? World War II movies are always epic, and this one has an amazing opening battle scene at the Battle of Omaha
3. Black Hawk Down, big star: dunno but the minor stars include Orlando Bloom and Ewan McGregor, This is about the US involvement in Somalia back in the Clinton days. I bet a lot of us don't recall this on the news.
4. The Gladiator, not only does this have brutal fight scenes but also a great tear-jerker plot
5. Any of the Bourne movies, big star: Matt Damon, contains some of the smartest fight scenes ever. A good leap better than any Bond film.

I need to have something new to watch, any suggestions?
