Léon edit

I'm removing Léon, as it is not an action movie. Return of the King is an action movie, and has 100000000000000x more action than Leon, yet cocksucker Andrzejbanas doesn't allow me to put ROTK on the list of 2000s of action films. Note that Allmovie is not reliable as they list Inglorious Basterds as an adventure movie instead of a drama. Leon is definitely not an action movie, if every movie with a shooting scene was an action films, then there would be more action movies than crime dramas. 201.43.36.136 (talk) 17:44, 27 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

You never give up do you? Here's a book on action films and their scripts that goes heavy into detail why Leon should be considered an action film here which calls it an "action thriller". The Washington Post here refers to it as a "pretty awesome action movie". In Susan Hayward's study of the career of Luc Besson she notes how his films Nikita and Leon are both similar to the american action film. (see here). Thanks again.
