🏆 My top 5 action films this year keeps changing

I keep a note on my phone with the action films I've watched this year. 6 so far. Every time I open it, I swap the order. It's a bit silly, but it's become a small habit. The one at number 1 today was number 4 a month ago, and number 6 before that. I walked out of it thinking it was just okay and then couldn't stop thinking about 1 fight. The film I was most sure about in the hall is now number 5. Loud, fast, great in the dark. A week later I couldn't tell you a single line or what the villain wanted. That's the thing with big action. The theatre does half the work for it. At home on a small screen you only see what's left over, and sometimes that's very little. This year has been decent for this kind of film, better than last year in my memory. We got South films, Hindi films and the usual big Hollywood ones, and a couple of cheaper ones held up. Some of the cheaper ones had better fights because they couldn't hide behind blasts and cars. My cousin disagrees. He says if it isn't big, it isn't action. So how do you rank? Is it the hall, the story, or the fight you remember a week later? Send me your top 3 and one line on why you picked each. I'll update my note and post the new order here after the next big release. My list is not final, obviously. It never is. Don't judge number 5.

I rank by what I'd watch again. Spectacle is a one time thing for me, even if it thrills. My top one this year is a mid budget film that nobody around me bothered with. It played in a half empty hall in Secunderabad and people clapped at the end on a weekday.

Same thing happened to me, but with a film I had written off. I left the hall thinking it was fine. 2 weeks later I was still replaying one scene on a rooftop in my head while brushing my teeth. I went back and paid for a second ticket, which my brother thought was ridiculous. Now it's my number 1, and I still can't say why.

For me it's stunts. A small film this year had real jumps and falls, and I felt each one in my seat. Big ones with too much green screen make me check my watch by the 2nd hour. I'd put craft above size, so your number 5 sounds about right to me. Sorry if that's rude to anyone here who loved it, I'm sure they have reasons.
