While in the past this has usually meant something that falls in the romantic comedy category, over the last few years studios have been starting to realize that you can mash action and romance together in order to create massive box office hits that appeal to both men and women. This week's poll is in search of a movie that strikes the ultimate balance between the two sides. While some of the options probably qualify as more action / adventure than straight up action, I'll leave it to you to determine what makes for a better movie. Which romantic action movie is your favourite? Which ones did we forget? Cast your vote in this week's poll and then discuss further in the comments below.

Sean Penn's Into the Wild was voted the Best Wilderness Survival Thriller, and while many of us would agree that it's a great film, it does fail two out of the three main criteria for this category (those being "survival" and "thriller"). I suppose it's my own fault for including it in the poll, but both Deliverance and Cast Away ended up being very close to winning as well. The Edge and 127 Hours tied for fourth place followed by Touching the Void. Way down at the bottom of the list, Adam Green's Frozen received just 1.3% of the votes. Do you agree with these results? 1. Into the Wild -- 17.8% 2. Deliverance -- 17.1% 3. Cast Away -- 16.4% 4. The Edge -- 12.8% 4. 127 Hours -- 12.8% 6. Touching the Void -- 10.2% 7. Alive -- 6.9% 8.

I'm not sure that there is a common consensus on what exactly constitutes a survival thriller, but usually it is a movie where the main characters are battling nature in some way (although they could also be battling each other as well). Often they are based on true stories, but this doesn't always have to be the case. There is also the question of whether or not the characters actually have to survive in order to qualify (personally, I would say no). With that in mind, I put together a poll with some noteworthy movies that could potentially be considered survival thrillers, although I'm sure I missed more than a few. Which one is your favourite?

Last week we asked you what the best action movie with a female protagonist was, and although it came right down to the wire, Kill Bill, Vol. 1 managed to just barely hang on to its lead over Aliens. To be honest, I thought Aliens was going to wipe the floor quite easily, but I guess you shouldn't underestimate the power of Quentin Tarantino. Unfortunately almost every other option was completely ignored, which isn't a huge surprise, but I certainly thought La Femme Nikita and Chocolate would get a few more votes. As many people had mentioned, the addition of Hanna could have potentially made the poll a little more interesting as well, but I kinda forgot about that one... oops. I also wonder if Lara Croft: Tomb Raider would have received more votes than Salt. Do you agree with these results? 1. Kill Bill, Vol. 1 -- 41.7% 2. Aliens -- 41.3% 3. La Femme Nikita -- 4% 4. Underworld -- 2.8% 5. Chocolate -- 2.4% 6. Resident Evil -- 2.2% 7. Sucker Punch -- 1.8% 7. Salt -- 1.8% 7. Coffy -- 1.8% 10. Charlie's Angels -- 0.4%

Although we've been seeing more women kicking ass on the big screen in recent years, the fact is, a lot of them are still overshadowed by their male co-stars. That's why this poll only focuses on movies where the primary star is a woman (ie. Terminator 2 does not count). Also, just to make things a little more fair, you can probably consider a vote for Resident Evil or Underworld to be a vote for the entire franchise. So what is the best female-fronted action movie?

Yeah, probably. I think we can all agree that The Dark Knight Rises is easily the most anticipated movie of 2012 right across the board (with a staggering 40% of the votes), but I was still curious to see where the rest of the choices would fall in last week's poll. Ridley Scott seems to be Christopher Nolan's closest competition with his pseudo-Alien prequel Prometheus, while The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey and Django Unchained were neck in neck for third place. The Avengers rounded out the top 5 with just 3.8% of the votes... quite a huge separation between the top 4 and the rest of the picks. Way down at the bottom of the list was The Expendables 2. I guess Sylvester Stallone and his pals still have a somewhat limited appeal in the grand scheme of things. Do you agree with these results? What other movies should have been on the list? 1.

Abrams' Super 8 that came out on top with almost 25% of the votes. Was it the lacklustre creature design or just the comparisons to Spielberg's previous films that made it a disappointment for some viewers? The win was somewhat unexpected since both Bridesmaids and The Tree of Life looked to be vying for the top spot, but they ultimately settled at #2 and #3 respectively. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 came in fourth with 13% of the votes, while The Muppets (sitting at an astounding 97% on Rotten Tomatoes) rounded out the top 5. Warrior and Hugo would appear to be the least overrated of the bunch, although that could also be because less people saw them. Do you agree with these results? 1. Super 8 -- 24.6% 2.

I think this is the sixth year that we have done the Film Junk Reader's Choice Awards, and just in case you're unfamiliar, the idea is that we pick five nominees in a number of different genres or categories and then open it up for voting throughout the month of December. Then sometime after Christmas, we unveil the winners! As with every year, there are a handful of movies that could easily fit in a number of different categories. We usually try to organize it so that there are no clear cut winners just to keep things interesting. Also, in order to qualify, a movie needs to have received some sort of theatrical release in North America in 2011, and we generally try to keep it to movies that a majority of readers would have had a chance to see.

Here is a guy who has been making movies for 45 years and is still trying to adapt and try new things... if you ask me, he's not even close to being past his prime. Strangely, it seems that we haven't tackled Scorsese's filmography in a poll yet.
