The 10 Best Action Movies of All Time

1. Die Hard

Director: John McTiernan
Stars: Bruce Willis, Alan Rickman, Bonnie Bedelia, Alexander Godunov

It's Christmas Eve, and John McClane (Bruce Willis) has to go rescue his wife's douchebaggy new employers. So what if McClane peppers his destruction with self-pity? You would too if you were gunning for the world's only terrorist with feet smaller than your sister's.

2. Terminator 2: Judgment Day

Director: James Cameron
Stars: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Linda Hamilton, Edward Furlong, Robert Patrick

Robo-Schwarzenegger returns, this time to save John Connor, the future leader of the human resistance against machines. With a freaky sci-fi premise, amazing action, and visual effects that still hold up, T2 gets our vote. The Governator, not so much.

3. The Matrix

Director: Larry and Andy Wachowski
Stars: Keanu Reeves, Laurence Fishburne, Carrie-Anne Moss, Hugo Weaving, Joe Pantoliano

The inspiration for countless camera tricks and slow-the-action-waaaaay-down shootouts, The Matrix managed to do what Speed and Point Breakcouldn't-make Keanu Reeves seem human (albeit only compared to a horde of intelligent computer programs).

4. Raiders of the Lost Ark

Director: Steven Spielberg
Stars: Harrison Ford, Karen Allen, Paul Freeman, John Rhys-Davies, Ronald Lacey, Denholm Elliot

Impressionable '70s babies kids learned a lot from Raiders-what "archaeology" means, how much fun whips can be, and that Nazis melt like a nice Gruyère. Above all, Indiana Jones taught us that balls-out swagger goes a long way.

5. The Bourne Ultimatum

Director: Paul Greengrass
Stars: Matt Damon, Julia Stiles, David Straithairn, Edgar Ramirez, Scott Glenn, Joan Allen, Albert Finney, Colin Stinton, Joey Ansah

The last of a trilogy that improved with each sequel, Ultimatum's relentless cat-and-mouse chase turns a train-station stroll into a pulse-quickening pursuit, a coffee-table book into a brutal weapon, and Matt Damon into the ultimate ass-kicking machine. That was a lot of hyphens, but you get the drift.

6. Predator

Director: John McTiernan
Stars: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Carl Weathers, Bill Duke, Jesse Ventura, Kevin Peter Hall, Elpidia Carrillo

OK, let's get this straight. Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jesse Ventura (that's two governors right there), and Apollo fucking Creed (Carl Weathers) get stalked by a dreadlocked alien who's armed with a nuclear device? Two words: Fuck and yes.

7. The Killer

Director: John Woo
Stars: Chow Yun-fat, Danny Lee, Sally Yeh, Kenneth Tsang, Chu Kong

The ultimate Hong Kong collabo—John Woo and Chow-Yun Fat—strikes again, this time with Fat double-fisting firepower in as an assassin who has to fend off a double-cross on his way to redemption. The original Mandarin title is Die xue shuang xiong, which translates to "holy SHIT, that's a lot of bullets."

8. The Dark Knight

Director: Christopher Nolan
Stars: Christian Bale, Heath Ledger, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Aaron Eckhart, Gary Oldman, Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman, Eric Roberts

Heath Ledger's final opus, directed by the dude who made Memento, all with Christian Bale's hilarious gravel voice and some of the greatest psychosis/blowing things up in the greatest city of all time. The final result: A superhero epic that;s well worth the two-and-a-half-hour sit-down.

9. Aliens

Director: James Cameron
Stars: Sigourney Weaver, Michael Biehn, Bill Paxton, Paul Reiser, Lance Henriksen, Carrie Henn, William Hope

James Cameron's sequel to Ridley Scott's brilliant sci-fi/horror flick Alien teaches us to never underestimate the stupidity of man-who else would insist on colonizing an alien-infested planet? Once communication with the colony is lost, the guns come out, and they don't stop blasting 'til the credits roll.

10. Braveheart

Director: Mel Gibson
Stars: Mel Gibson, Sophie Marceau, Patrick McGoohan, Angus Macfayden, Brendan Gleeson, Catherine McCormack

Mel Gibson's medieval period piece took home five Oscars, but it's no cinephile schlockfest—unless flaming arrows and mass hangings are your idea of high-brow fare. Ignore it at your peril, sugartits.

How to Take Care of Your Hair

Maintaining your hair is relatively easy with the right kind of steps. Hair is made of protein, so keeping a healthy diet and good hygiene is an essential part of maintaining luscious locks. At the same time, here are some other tips about hair care, and what you can do at home to get unbelievably beautiful hair.

1.Wash hair sparingly with a good-quality shampoo. Many people insist that washing hair too often can leave hair dried out, leeched of its natural oils, and damage your hair. Shoot to shampoo your hair at most every other day. Some people wash their hair only twice a week.

• Try shampoos that do not contain sulfates or parabens. Sulfates are the chemicals that make shampoos lather up. Parabens are preservatives that cause irritation and eye problems after prolonged use. Both of these chemicals aren't healthy for you or the environment so try to use shampoos with natural cleansers.
• Choose a shampoo that suits your hair type. Don't just go for any old shampoo; go for the shampoo that works for you!
• Curly or coarse hair probably wants frizz-minimizing and softening shampoo.
• Straight or oily hair probably wants a gentle shampoo designed for daily washing.
• Colored or treated hair probably needs a shampoo that's fortified with extracts or amino acids, because treating your hair is essentially damaging it.
• Dry hair probably needs shampoos with glycerin and collagen to help restore some moisture into the hair.

2.Use conditioner depending on your hair type, length, and treatment damage.A good rule of thumb is to condition every time you shampoo your hair, although very processed or dyed hair probably needs a little more love than natural hair.

• Deep condition once a week. Use a store-bought product, or venture out on your own and try a homemade solution.
• Follow these steps for conditioning your hair properly based on hair type:
  • For fine hair: If you have very limp hair, try a botanical oil treatment before you shampoo. Use lavender or tea-tree oil, for example, and work it under your cuticles before shampooing. Wash shampoo away and apply conditioner from the mid-shaft down to the end. Leave in for a minute before washing
  • For medium to thick hair, use a moisturizer with natural hydrators. Keep your conditioner light. Apply conditioner all over your head and let stay for 2-3 minutes.
• Be careful about using products with too much protein. Too much protein can leave your hair feeling desiccated and brittle. While protein is the building block of healthy hair, use conditioners that come with balanced ingredients.
• Frizz-control serum can be used in small quantities to tame frizzes. Make sure you do not use too much, and wash once a week with a deep-cleanse shampoo to avoid build-up, which will leave hair looking dull and flaky.

3.Don't brush your hair too much. Brushing your hair stimulates the follicles which promotes growth, but brushing too much too often, will cause damage to your hair strands that results in frizz and split ends.

4.Let hair dry naturally. After you get out of the shower, wrap your hair in a cotton T-Shirt. Towls are made of fabric that is very rough and damaging to your hair, causing frizziness and split ends. Avoid brushing hair while wet, as it makes the hair brittle and weak. Only use a wide tooth comb to brush out tangles while hair is wet. '.

• Try not to use a blow-drier. Healthy hair does not respond well to heat. Hair can sustain heat damage easily, especially from blow-driers. If you have to use a blow-drier, dry your hair using the lowest-temperature setting and limit usage to once a week.
• If you shower before you sleep overnight, put your hair up in a bun and let it air-dry overnight. Your hair should be dry in the morning.

5.Trim your hair regularly. The best way to get rid of split ends is to...do it yourself! Take some hair shears and attack the split ends about 1/4 inch above the splitting. Many women with perfect hair never have split ends because they make it a priority to get their hair trimmed, or trim it themselves, every 6-8 weeks.

6.Treat or dye your hair sparingly, if at all. Dyeing and treating your hair can take a lot out of it. People who opt for au naturel often don't experience the same problem with dry, damaged, or over-processed hair.

• If you do dye your hair, try it every once in a while. Take a break from dyeing and give your hair a little breather. It should respond favorably.

7.Style your hair naturally, minimizing styling damage. Styling by itself won't overly damage your hair, but repeated stylings multiple times per week put some serious strain on hair.

• Avoid perming, crimping, straightening, curling, and bleaching or repeatedly coloring hair if at all possible. So you want to go out on Saturday night and need your hair straightened. That's fine. Just make it an occasional treat, not a permanent thing.
• Don't use rubber bands to pull back or otherwise style hair. Rubber bands will encourage your hair to get snagged, ripping it out of the follicle.
• Try not to use hairstyles that tightly pin or pull the hair back. Styles such as cornrows or tight ponytails can cause damage at the roots, or put stress on the follicles.
• Instead, experiment with up-dos: a simple ponytail or chignon looks clean and requires very few hair products. You could also just keep your hair down and wear a headband

8.Eat healthy and give your hair the right amount of vitamins. Since hair is made of proteins, make sure that you eat a balanced diet rich in lean protein, whole grains, fruits and vegetables. A healthy diet will ensure better-looking, better-feeling hair.

• Make sure you get plenty of vitamin C (strengthens hair), iron (helps transport oxygen to blood vessels), zinc (grows and repairs tissue), and omega-3 fatty acids (grows healthy hair).
• Give your hair some time to show new brilliance. What you eat will not have an immediate difference on the hair you already have, but it will help with hair that is newly growing.

9.Remove stress from your life. Physical and mental stressors will keep your hair from realizing its full potential. Stress can cause hair loss, so try not to let stress overcome you. This means finding healthy emotional outlets for your stress: yoga, biking, meditation, or other forms of exercise all work well.
