1. (2003) Finally, the culmination of a great quest. Two tiny individuals are able to disperse an evil force by ridding themselves of an annoying piece of jewelry. Meantime, thousands of goblins and orcs get clobbered by a brave group of warriors, led by a future king.

Answer: The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King

'The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King' was the third in a very popular trilogy of films. The three films of the trilogy were released in successive years (2001, 2002, 2003). The third film received 11 Oscar nominations and won every one. All three films in the trilogy hover very high on the list of top action films at IMDB.com.
2. (1977) The beginning of another quest, this one to destroy an evil man-made planet that has been created by a galactic empire. One young man is joined by a pair of robots, an old warrior, a scoundrel and his hairy pal in an expedition to save a lovely princess.

Answer: Star Wars

Originally, 'Star Wars' (or 'Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope') was the first of a trilogy. Now it appears as the fourth episode of an hexalogy. The original script title of the film was: 'Adventures of the Starkiller: Episode 1 - The Star Wars'.
3. (1966) Three men are in search of a fortune in gold, and they will stop at virtually nothing to acquire it. After stand-offs, torture and other off-the-wall antics, the three men finally face each other in the end with high drama (and wonderful music).

Answer: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

'The Good, the Bad and the Ugly' is the third in Sergio Leone's classic 'Man With No Name Trilogy'. In this film, Clint Eastwood once again stars as the 'Man With No Name' (or 'Blondie', as Tuco calls him). Lee Van Cleef and Eli Wallach also are featured as rivals to the Eastwood character.
4. (1981) One adventurer goes in search of a holy relic. During his adventure he encounters Nazis, snakes and a beautiful companion. His adventures take him to several exotic locales, including Nepal and Egypt.

Answer: Raiders of the Lost Ark

'Raiders of the Lost Ark' was the brainchild of George Lucas and his pal Philip Kaufman. Writing credit for the script must go in large part to Lawrence Kasdan, while another pal, Steven Spielberg, directed the movie.
5. (1999) A man with a rather mundane existence suddenly has himself introduced to a stranger who teaches him how to live on the wild side, and how to make soap.

Answer: Fight Club

'Fight Club' features the acting of Brad Pitt, Ed Norton and the lovely Helena Bonham Carter. Directed by David Fincher, the film apparently features a Starbucks coffee cup in each and every scene (at least, according to the director himself).
6. (1954) A small village is protected by a brave group of men whose only reward, seemingly, is three square meals a day. The group of men help the villagers to fend off a large group of bandits.

Answer: The Seven Samurai

'The Seven Samurai' (or 'Shichinin no samurai') was Akira Kurosawa's 1954 masterpiece. It was remade into the English-language film 'The Magnificent Seven', but the original maintains itself as one of the all-time classics. It is consistently rated among the top films at IMDB.com.
7. (1999) This film questions reality itself, and ultimately shows us the futility of the everyday life that the main character leads. Fortunately, a group of hard-nosed rebellious types show the main character a new life and new powers. They only ask, 'Is he the one?'

Answer: The Matrix

'The Matrix' is the first film in another one of those popular trilogies that seem to have infiltrated the action/adventure genre. The Wachowski brothers created an imaginative fantasy world within this trilogy, among which the first film seems by far the most popular.
8. (1979) A small group of soldiers make their way up a dangerous river in southeast Asia in search of a mysterious army colonel who has removed himself from reality.

Answer: Apocalypse Now

John Milius worked together with director Francis Ford Coppola on this Vietnam-war era adaptation of the classic book 'Heart of Darkness' by Joseph Conrad. Appearing in the film are Martin Sheen, Robert Duvall, Marlon Brando, Harrison Ford, Dennis Hopper and a very young Laurence Fishburne.
9. (1986) A crew of marines arrive on a rescue mission, only to find that they have come too late, only one little girl survives. In turn, they become the hunted as their vicious enemies hunt them down one by one.

Answer: Aliens

While the original film 'Alien' was directed by Ridley Scott, the second installment was directed by James Cameron. Once again, the lead character Ellen Ripley is played magnificently by Sigourney Weaver. Good supporting performances are provided by Michael Biehn, Lance Henriksen, Paul Reiser and Bill Paxton.
10. (1995) After seeing the love of his life killed by a nasty English nobleman, a man stops at nothing to defend his homeland and his people against the encroaching English menace from the south.

Answer: Braveheart

'Braveheart' was Mel Gibson's masterpiece, and won him a pair of Academy Awards for Best Director and Best Picture. The movie revolves around the life story of Scottish hero William Wallace, and was based on the book by Randall Wallace.
