NOTE: Movies such as Die Hard , Under Siege , Speed and The Rock are not being counted as their villains for the most part are about getting money or are disgruntled former employees. For it to be a ""Terrorist"" movie, the central action has to occur to promote a cause or for destruction's sake. If there are any movies that you think should be on this list, e-mail us at mail@boxofficemojo.com .
