50. Ong-bak: The Thai Warrior
This is a movie that amazes and defies the Hollywood cheats of stunt doubles and CGI creations. It shows the real thing of what a Muay Thai expert can do without using the usual movie tricks.
49. The Transporter 2
Transporter 2 maintains the typical formula: the good guy chasing the bad guys. Jason Statham delivers an effective role with his silent charisma as Frank Martin. Alessandro Gassman is a sexy villain.
48. Blade Trinity
This third offer from the Blade franchise offers a music video-style smash in between chasing and wrestling scenes for the action fans.

It has that same old story about the tough guy who needs to take care of a bunch of menacing kids, but the formula works and you'll get pacified by this nice little family movie.
46. Wedding Crashers
It may have some flaws, but the Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn tandem in this escapist comedy is such a riot. This movie is all about the laughs.
45. Wolf Creek
It's one of the most brutally realistic horror movies—and it's based on true events about an Australian Outback vacation gone fatal.

Inspired by the true-to-life story of World War II carrier pigeons trained to carry vital information for the allied forces across the English Channel, this animated film accommodates both kids and their adult companions.
