Five Great Action Movies You Should Date
Nothing can destroy the bond that is forged in the hot fires of mutual adoration for an intense and memorable action sequence. In fact, watching good action movies can raise more than just your heart rate, it can raise your mutual attraction with your date. With so many movies coming out every week, it’s hard to select the best movies to watch. Some theaters regularly show some of the best action movies, even if they’re not premieres. Here are five great ones to bring to your date.
1. Aliens
James Cameron’s masterpiece set in motion an obsession with combining science fiction and action. This second film in an initial installment of three increased the adrenaline level of the slow and suspenseful Alien (the first film) shot by Ridley Scott. Taken in a new direction, it’s not so much whether this movie is better or worse, but rather it stands on its own as a completely different style of Alien movie. However, it has stood the test of time and many viewers continue to watch it.
2. Hard to die
A cult Christmas favorite, this movie has Bruce Willis starting out as police officer John McClane, who has the unfortunate luck of being the only guest who wasn’t kidnapped during an attack on the Christmas party. Trapped in a high-rise building and under siege by terrorists, it’s up to John to save the day and his estranged wife. Filled with good action, smart acting, and some holiday cheer, this movie has become a classic during the holiday season.
3.Terminator 2
The second film in the Terminator series sees Arnold Schwarzenegger returning as a cyborg known as the Terminator. However, this time his model is the “good guy” who seeks to prevent a T-1000 model from going back in time to destroy the leader of a resistance that would give humanity hope of the apocalyptic rise of the machines.
4. The Bourne Ultimatum
What would happen if in the future the best soldiers were psychologically enhanced and manipulated to become super soldiers? What if this happened with the risk that, when one rebelled, everything would be unleashed? This is just the premise of the Jason Bourne movies starring Matt Damon as Jason Bourne. It’s a movie that tests your decision on which side to take while allowing you to agree that the action and fight scenes are top notch.
5. The Matrix
If you’ve ever wondered if your entire reality was a computer simulation, then The Matrix movie may be a little too close to home. Starring Keanu Reeves, Neo discovers that he is just an incubated human being used for fuel. Once he is freed by Morpheus, the leader of the resistance, Neo must confront what is real and what is not and decide if ignorance really is bliss.
Take your date to any of these movies when they’re playing in a theater near you for a fun, action-packed night out.
