Kwame safo Boateng - Top 5 Best Action and Adventures Movies

Kwame safo Boateng - I like to watch independent films. The fact that I’m multilingual allows me to appreciate foreign movies as well. As a 28 year old, my tastes are still in evolution. Although I can appreciate a wider range of movies, I find that I am willing to spend a lot of time looking for the perfect movie. I have spent as much time searching for the right film as I actually spend watching the film. Even if my efforts are sometimes laborious, satisfaction is a silver-lining.

Listed by Kwame safo boateng best 5 Action and Adventure Movies of All Time, these films are some of the best action and adventure films of the past 60 years, but each has a good, distinct approach to action within the plot.

Kwame safo Boateng's favorite Best Action & Adventures movies

King Kong' (1933)

This film is directed by Merian C. Cooper (uncredited), Ernest B. Schoedsack (uncredited) and written by James Ashmore Creelman (screenplay) (as James Creelman), Ruth Rose (screenplay), Merian C. Cooper (from an idea conceived by), Edgar Wallace (from an idea conceived by), Leon Gordon (contributing writer) (uncredited), Edgar Wallace (story) (uncredited). You can watch this movie or download the “Seven Samurai” movie, Here.

Over the years, King Kong has been one of the first three films to pioneer the giant monster movie genre along with Godzilla and The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms. What makes the film so cool is that is has a beautiful scenery featuring stop motion bugs and dinosaurs which were all done by stop motion pioneer Willis O'Brien and there would also be parts where actors and actresses performed in front of a mere projector which would be combined while having the creatures being animated at the same time which caused it to break new grounds. The music in the film happens to be a well done masterpiece in cinematic history throughout the 1930's.

Also, there's even a documentary on the two disc Special Edition which I own on DVD where Peter Jackson (who is the director of the 2005 remake) recreates the lost spider pit sequence which was a lost sequence in the film that never happens in the film. Although, throughout the years other filmmakers have been inspired by these special effects such as Nick Park, Henry Selick, and Ray Harryhausen which means the stop motion technique became revolutionary throughout the old days. But anyways, this film gets 4 stars because it features stop motion sequences and live actors.

The 39 Steps' (1935)

This film is directed by Alfred Hitchcock and written by John Buchan (adapted from the novel by), Charles Bennett (adaptation), Ian hay (dialogue). Sir Alfred Hitchcock movies are all about craftsmanship and flawless cinematography. Not to mention his ability in crafting gripping scores, which eventually adds to the tally and makes his work a complete package to the audience who are watching it. However, I wouldn't be too surprised if someone argues that the actual movie is an underrated one. Taking into account, the age at which the movie was made, everything right from the beginning till the very end seems flawless. Clever yet funny and effortless acting from Robert Donat. Sir Alfred Hitchcock has proved it yet again that he's the master of suspense forever. You can watch this movie or download the “Seven Samurai” movie, Here.

The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (1948)

This film is directed by John Huston and written by B. Traven (based on the book by), John Huston (screenplay by). This film made a huge impression on me when I first saw it at the age of 20. You can watch this movie or download the “Seven Samurai” movie, Here.

"The Treasure of Sierra Madre" won Oscars for Best Director (John Huston), Best Supporting Actor (Walter Huston) and Best Screenplay (John Huston). The film was also nominated for Best Picture but unfortunately lost to Lawrence Olivier's "Hamlet". It was another notable performance by Humphrey Bogart in a difficult role and proves once again what an outstanding actor can be if given the right material. It was a stunning performance by Humphrey Bogart - one of his best - and completely different to his spontaneous portrayal of Rick in "Casablanca". Fred C.The film has now truly become a classic and is receiving much acclaim by "movie buffs".

Seven Samurai (1954)

This film is directed by Akira Kurosawa and written by Akira Kurosawa (screenplay by), Shinobu Hashimoto (screenplay by). This movie is brilliantly crafted, excellently scored, extraordinarily choreographed, well acted and gorgeously written. This is well deserving of it's high place and I would consider it nothing short of a masterpiece. You can watch this movie or download the “Seven Samurai” movie, Here.

A veteran samurai, who has fallen on hard times, responds to the village's request for protection from the bandits. He gathers 6 other samurai to help him, and they teach the townspeople how to defend themselves, and they supply the samurai with three small meals a day. The film ends in a huge war when 40 bandits attack the village.

The French Connection' (1971)

This film is directed by William Friedkin and written by Ernest Tidyman (screenplay by) and Robin Moore (based on the book by). It’s a super cop thriller based on historical events and starring Gene hackman in one of his best performances. This movie shows us the realistic problems of life on the street and the drug trade, it also totally entertains us. You can watch this movie or download “The french Connection” movie, Here.

The French Connection is best known for its car chase scene, but this would be a great cop movie without it. With it, it becomes the greatest.The plot is intriguing.The setting is gritty and cold.There is almost a hopeless feeling throughout it. Hackman is superb, Ahab-like is his obsession to arrest the drug dealers. It is exciting and fascinating to watch the malaise of the early 70s in NYC. This had to be filmed on location. Would not work anywhere else. Please, watch this movie.
