Well, I'm not an expert on anime ... I've seen a few movies and watch the series they show on cartoon network, but there are a lot of action animes.

Samurai X is about a samurai(duh) so there are a lot of sword fight scenes. I think they're pretty cool, but I don't have a lot to compare it with.

my my this is one hell of a late reply... anybody knows hunterXhunter this series has a really nice concept

Akira

Akira and Spirited Away are the only two movies on that list I've seen.

I wouldn't really call it an "action" anime, but Spirited Away is easily the better of the two.
