Can Anyone Recommend A Movie Series...

Post by Iron and Light »

That's somewhat like the Bourne series? \:D/

I use clearplay, so language and all that doesn't matter.

The Transporter

Bourne Trilogy

That's all I can think of right now. They're both massive action movies! \:D/

Yeah, I've already seen the Bourne trilogy.. and all I can say is.. they were the best action movies I've ever seen :inlove:.

That's why I'm looking for movies that are like them, because.. you don't run across movies that are that good very often!

Ocean's 11, 12, and 13 are pretty cool.

...It seems like there's something else too, can't think of it though.

It's not a series, but I've heard Taken compared to the Bourne series. I haven't seen any of the Bourne movies in ages so I can't verify that, but I did see Taken and I'd highly recommend it regardless! \:D/

I'm sure there are others but thats all that is coming to mind at the moment.

I can't recommend too many action series, but the BBC "Brideshead Revisited" series is very good.

I'd also highly recommend LOST which, although a TV series, plays like one very long film. ;)

Other than that, a couple off the top of my head:

1. The Chronicles of Riddick/Pitch Black
2. The "Ocean's" series
3. The newer Bond movies are pretty decent
4. Star Wars Trilogy

Hope this helps!

as far as movies go? heard oceans was good.

echo the Taken-Bourne-similarities in awesomeness, saw the former a few weeks ago. excellent.

tv series? shameless plug for NCIS. and the Mentalist.

annoying little coins! but,

Seconded! \:D/ *resolves to look into Sherlock's other suggestions, because we are obviously such kindred spirits! ;) *

I'm also rather partial to the Indiana Jones movies... while I'm thinking of Harrison Ford, the Jack Ryan movies are pretty good, and probably closer to what you're looking for, though I haven't seen them in awhile (Hunt for Red October, Patriot Games, and Clear and Present Danger).

If you're into sci-fi, there's the old Planet of the Apes series.

If you like large amounts of action and an intricate story line, the Underworld series is for you.

Usually I don't promote vampiric movies, but this one's plot was so good I decided to go ahead and ban my Cullen-hate just to check it out.

Warning: If you like Twilight, don't watch it. Heh. No molly-coddling vampires in this movie.
