Does it belong in the 'top 10 action movies of all time'

Over at Complex they just published their list of the "50 Best Action Films of All-Time." I have to say, their list pretty solid. 9 of their top ten films made my own list, which I wrote for AwardsDaily just last year. 'The Dark Knight' figures on both lists, although there is some debate as to whethere it should even be considered an 'action movie'. I believe it is, however Raider of the Lost Ark? I don't think so.

Here are some excerpts from that article dated 05.30.16:

It does, almost destroy every action in 2000s according to this poll.

Absolutely not IMO! It drags, needs a severe edit, and had too much going on! 

I'd say this is a modern day action classic :)

Roger Waters and David Gilmour are Bronies

No. It shouldn't be in the top 1,000 movies either.

I would hope American Film Institute does more lists and hopefully includes The Dark Knight on some of their lists. Maybe they could do a list of top 10 super hero films. Sad that most of the lists they did were before The Dark Knight came out because it would've been perfect for a lot of their lists.

It should be #1 on their list of "Most Over-Rated Movies."
