EW ranked the Top 25 by number, in case you're curious. Though the list is kind of suspect - Titanic isn't exactly what I'd call an "action movie", at least not in the same vein as Rambo, Terminator, or Robocop. But it's still a fun way to kill some time on a Sunday afternoon.
[EDIT]: Finally counted them all up after all. Very nearly hit 75%...apparently I'm a big fan of senseless violence. Who knew?
