However, even with groundbreaking films like Get Out, Hereditary, The Conjuring and Candyman, the…

via 20th Century Fox The action genre will always remain perennially popular for the sole reason that it never gets old watching shootouts, fistfights, car chases, and explosions, at least if it’s handled well. The artform is constantly evolving to move with the times, too, but you won’t have to travel too far in order to find folks of the belief that the 1980s and 1990s were the Golden Age.
