Do you like gladiator movies? War movies? Gangster movies? Kung fu movies? Swordfight movies? Alien invasion movies?

This is a community for any movie with a punch, a kick, a stab, a shot or an explosion, or preferably all of the above and plenty of 'em.

Everything from Armour of God to Zulu, from Above the Law to Zatoichi.
