Does Glory really count as an action movie?

We went over this already. Someone nominated it in the initial thread and IMDB has it listed as "action" among other categories. That's why I put it in there, along with other cross-over movies like Bladerunner (action/sci-fi), 48Hrs (action/comedy) and so on. If you don't consider it a greater action movie than whatever movie it's up against don't vote for it.

Early on in the voting, but I'm amazed to see Top Gun beating Platoon. It does offer some slam-bang dogfighting scenes, but overall I thought it sucked.

Predator v. Highlander, ouch! Tough. Had to go with Ahnold though.

Just to make it clear: "...The Last Crusade" was the piece of crap Indiana Jones with Sean Connery acting like an idiot. The first two were good, but that third one was STUPID.
