So far my movies have been:
Mean Girls
Jumanji (bad choice, it moved way slower than i remembered but i was still smiling the whole time)
Resident Evil
Kill Bill Vol 1. (fiancees suggestion, i had never seen it before and it took until Lucy Lu's apperence to keep my attention)

So yeah. If anyone has any suggestions please post! :) thanks all!

    Action or comedy?
    Rush Hour, The Hangover, Liar Liar, Dumb and Dumber, Speed, The Matrix, Fast and Furious, Heat, Zoolander, Jurassic Park.
    I personally watch tv shows instead. Like Supernatural, Adventure Time, The Walking Dead and True Blood.
    Not Game of Thrones because it demands my utmost attention :bigsmile:

    I like action movies when I'm on the treadmill. I like the Bourne Trilogy.

    Following this thread I watched the following whilst working out on my elliptical trainer.

    Hairspray (the remake with John Travolta) - which was ace because I could dance around (although limited) and sing along, totally made the time fly.
    Labyrinth - again ace choice because I spent most of it reciting the words along with Sarah and the time flew.

    I always liked watching Disney's Hercules and Mulan. I found it helpful to get fit and bad *kitten* like the characters.

    Zero Dark Thirty will keep you pumped up for the entire flick. Plus, the female CIA agent in a rockstar.

    Good Luck!

    Any action movie. Avengers is one of my favorites, and lately I've been on a Mission Impossible binge (even though I can't stand Tom Cruise). For me, as long as the people are moving around a lot on in the movie, I'm distracted enough to not totally hate working out.

    Action tv shows are good. During the week I've been watching Arrow. There's a good 2 seasons on Netflix so I'm set for the next few weeks.

    monster movies and sci-fi/horror/thriller type movies are my favorites for exercise, it helps me move my *kitten* if i can convince myself that i'm being chased by some horrorterror. i know it's not a movie but i used to watch a lot of the x-files on the treadmill, although that may have been less running-from-terrible-creatures motivation as much as it was chasing-early-nineties-david-duchovny's-sweet-nerd-*kitten* motivation. so monsters/zombies/eldrich abominations + hot person = good workout.

    Has to be action movies. Anything with Jason Statham keeps me moving! Lord of the Rings trilogy, Harry Potter movies, Avengers, Thor, etc.

    I'm a die hard trekkie so all the movies and series are good. Right now I'm working my way through the Enterprise series.

    Action movies are good like the Bourne, Terminator, Predators. Anything that moves a lot and you don't get bored watching it.

    I'd binge watch some good cable shows rather than movies. Mad Men, Breaking Bad, etc.

    If Kill Bill bored you, I can't help you.
