ULTIMATE ACTION MOVIE HISTORY
Then, almost as soon as they came, they dried up as time crept on into the early 2000s and into the present decade. Like the dinosaurs, or wearing hats as formal wear, action movies had their golden day in the sun and now we’re left picking up the pieces and wishing we’d bought more to keep with us until they inevitably rise again. Until then, let’s examine this ultimate action movie age to see if we can trace its roots of when (and why) they sprang up, how long they enjoyed their heyday, and when they finally met their demise.Before we dive into the ultimate action movies of the 1980s and 1990s, let’s start with what we do know. In the beginning, there were movies and they were OK. They started silent and in black and white. Over time they became musicals and comedies and romance films to entice people to their local cinemas for popcorn and cheese curds. However, for whatever godly reason that spurned it together, action movies began to appear. Sporadically at first over the decades, but by the 1980s they sprang up with full gun-blazing, chest-punching force – taking over pop culture with one explosive hit after another.
