The list comprises of movies and titles that have a boy and a girl (or otherwise) confront an Action, Fantasy or Sci-Fi adventure while developing a romantic relationship or tension between them.
The list contains only titles I saw and found fitting.
Some of the movies focus more on Action, some more on Romance, some on Adventure, some on Horror and some on Drama, but all of the movies in the list have the attributes mentioned. For more details on each movie's Action, Romance and my Personal tilt read each movie's description.
I tried to keep the more relevant around the top 100 titles of the list and I mostly left out movies in which the couple are not together at the end, I rarely find stories like that good or romantic.

PG-13 | 112 min | Action, Adventure, Sci-Fi

Director: Ruben Fleischer | Stars: Tom Hardy, Michelle Williams, Riz Ahmed, Scott Haze
Votes: 538,483 | Gross: $213.52M
Action: 4/5 Romance: 4/5 Personal: 3/5 Sweet action comedy movie in which the romantic relationship takes an important role in the story. The love interest (Michelle Williams) probably takes the second most important role in the film after Eddie/Venom (Tom Hardy). The couple is cute and look great together and they also do some extraordinary stuff for one another which might show their great love but honestly in the dialogues it wasn't fluffy enough for my opinion. Still, cute, enjoyable and fits the list.
2. Suicide Squad (2016)
PG-13 | 123 min | Action, Adventure, Fantasy
A secret government agency recruits some of the most dangerous incarcerated super-villains to form a defensive task force. Their first mission: save the world from the apocalypse.
Director: David Ayer | Stars: Will Smith, Jared Leto, Margot Robbie, Viola Davis
Votes: 722,428 | Gross: $325.10M
Action: 4/5 Romance: 3/5 Personal: 3/5 DC Cinematic Universe my love!!! they really committed to add romantic relations to all their movies to date and that's amazing in my opinion. Suicide Squad is filled with characters and almost all of them has a significant other that affects their lives within the film.
3. Passengers (I) (2016)
PG-13 | 116 min | Drama, Romance, Sci-Fi
A malfunction in a sleeping pod on a spacecraft traveling to a distant colony planet wakes one passenger 90 years early.
Director: Morten Tyldum | Stars: Jennifer Lawrence, Chris Pratt, Michael Sheen, Laurence Fishburne
Votes: 447,673 | Gross: $100.01M
Action: 3/5 Romance: 5/5 Personal: 3/5 An out standing adventure romance story receives a less than perfect execution. Chris Pratt is doing the most charming sensitive guy in the world who'se also so hot you would kill for, and jennifer lawrence is just a little less annoying than always. i wish they would take a different actress. the story's themes are really strong, interesting and compelling but they could've dealt with them a little more intense. I recommend this movie.
4. The Island (2005)
PG-13 | 136 min | Action, Sci-Fi, Thriller
A man living in a futuristic sterile colony begins to question his circumscribed existence when his friend is chosen to go to the Island, the last uncontaminated place on earth.

Votes: 327,711 | Gross: $35.82M
Action: 5/5 Romance: 4/5 Personal: 4/5 Good action/romance balance. Scarlett and Ewan join together to escape from a mighty organization that kept them from the world most of their lives. The action story sometimes asks for a large suspension of disbelief but the love story has a surprisingly good pace.
5. The Spy Who Dumped Me (2018)
R | 117 min | Action, Adventure, Comedy
Best friends Audrey and Morgan unwittingly become entangled in an international conspiracy when one of them discovers that the boyfriend who dumped her was actually a spy.

Votes: 83,075 | Gross: $33.56M
Action: 3/5 Romance: 3/5 Personal: 3/5 More Comedy than Action, more Comedy than Romance, still fits the list. A sort of combination between female buddy comedy and romantic comedy. The story has huge drama potential but it usually all gets used for comedy's sake.
6. The Blob (1988)
R | 95 min | Horror, Sci-Fi, Thriller
A deadly entity from space crash-lands near a small town and begins consuming everyone in its path. Panic ensues as shady government scientists try to contain the horrific creature.

Directors: Lana Wachowski, Lilly Wachowski | Stars: Channing Tatum, Mila Kunis, Eddie Redmayne, Sean Bean
Votes: 194,562 | Gross: $47.39M
Action: 5/5 Romance: 5/5 Personal: 4/5 A little goofy but effective nonetheless. An over the top action adventure movie that might have worked better as animation - not because of bad visuals at all, but I think the audience would've been less criticizing over the script. The romance is very big here and there are some amazing romantic action sequences only it wasn't enough emotional for me. Lots of times it feels like the writers hold back from giving us this uncontrollable existential attraction we crave to see. anyway, still a recommended experience and a must for action romance lovers.
8. G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra (2009)
PG-13 | 118 min | Action, Adventure, Sci-Fi
An elite military unit comprised of special operatives known as G.I. Joe, operating out of The Pit, takes on an evil organization led by a notorious arms dealer.

Votes: 215,035 | Gross: $152.27M
Action: 5/5 Romance: 5/5 Personal: 5/5 The main conflict of the film is between Channing Tatum and Sienna Miller who used to be lovers and the tragedy that turned them to enemies. Surprisingly romantic considering the film's marketing. One of my favorite movies, a must for action romance fans.
9. Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow (2004)

Action: 5/5 Romance: 5/5 Personal: 5/5 Gwyneth Paltrow and Jude Law are ex-lovers that still keep feelings for each other and who now work together in order to save planet earth. It's a very fun and witty movie, their relationship reminds of screwball comedies from the 40s. Extremely recommended.

Votes: 232,612 | Gross: $39.18M
Action: 4/5 Romance: 2/5 Personal: 4/5 Not much of actual romance, it develops slowly and doesn't reach a too meaningful climax but it does have at least one "action romance" scene I recall and if you're attracted in any way to men you should watch it because King Arthur by Charlie Hunman is the ultimate romantic hero in my opinion. That being said I found the movie to be amazing and I recommended it regardless.
14. Crank (2006)
R | 88 min | Action, Crime, Thriller
Professional assassin Chev Chelios learns his rival has injected him with a poison that will kill him if his heart rate drops.
Directors: Mark Neveldine, Brian Taylor | Stars: Jason Statham, Amy Smart, Carlos Sanz, Jose Pablo Cantillo
Votes: 263,653 | Gross: $27.83M
Action: 4/5 Romance: 3/5 Personal: 5/5 Mostly a crazy, fun and intelligent action movie about one man (Statham) against a world run by criminals, but the lead's main motive is the love and protection of his girl (Amy Smart, which usually I don't like but she is sweet and fitting in this one). Her screen time is not large but her role is significant and her presence is strong.

Votes: 23,164 | Gross: $0.23M
Action: 4/5 Romance: 2/5 Personal: 4/5 Beautifully shot action adventure movie, packed with content and details to a level of confusion. More than 50% of it has the main couple running around in action scenes and the chemistry between them is nice to view. They are both amazingly pretty. Prepare of bitter sweet ending.
16. Deathstalker II (1987)
R | 85 min | Action, Adventure, Comedy
In this parody of the sword and sorcery films, a princess is deposed by an evil sorcerer. She enlists the aid of Deathstalker to battle the forces of evil, including a clone of the princess, and win back her kingdom.
Director: Jim Wynorski | Stars: John Terlesky, Monique Gabrielle, John Lazar, Toni Naples
Votes: 3,605
Action: 4/5
Romance: 4/5
Personal: 5/5
A funny, sexy and action packed b movie about a charming thief that joins a princess to get back her throne. They go through alot of adventures and of course get together. I LOVE the characters in this one and Deathstalker is one of the most handsome heroes ever, very recommended!!!
P.S - this is unrelated to the horrible 1st movie and should be watched as stand alone.

PG-13 | 100 min | Fantasy, Horror, Mystery

Director: Zack Snyder | Stars: Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Jesse Eisenberg
Votes: 752,563 | Gross: $330.36M
Action: 5/5 Romance: 3/5 Personal: 5/5 The romance here is strong and intense yet with short screen time in comparison to the movie's length. Superman's main motive for his actions is Lois and his romantic love for her. Their relationship drives them both to do death defying acts, which is viewed in a positive, un-criticizing manner. There also might be a relationship developing between Batman and Wonder Woman. I personally recommend it on account of the strong and emotional character study in this movie.
19. Practical Magic (1998)

Votes: 285,288 | Gross: $38.63M

24. Skyline (2010)
PG-13 | 92 min | Action, Sci-Fi, Thriller
Strange lights descend on the city of Los Angeles, drawing people outside like moths to a flame where an extraterrestrial force threatens to swallow the entire human population off the face of the Earth.
Directors: Colin Strause, Greg Strause | Stars: Eric Balfour, Donald Faison, Scottie Thompson, Brittany Daniel
Votes: 92,186 | Gross: $21.37M
Action: 4/5 Romance: 3/5 Personal: 4/5 A disaster movie that could've been better, sticking to its original concept more: During an alien invasion a woman has her boyfriend saved from abduction only to receive some alien like force with which he fights for the sake of both of them with the invaders. A very interesting movie that could've easily reached the top of the list but won't, thanks to not enough emphasis on the main couple. I love the couple's casting. I like the progress their characters go through. I just don't understand why there had to be so many scenes with characters other than the main couple, and why they couldn't deliver the whole story through them instead of boring, silly and flat side characters. I would still recommend this movie as a romantic action flick, the action and visual effects are also remarkable considering the movie's low budget.
25. Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas (2003)
PG | 86 min | Animation, Adventure, Comedy
The sailor of legend is framed by the goddess Eris for the theft of the Book of Peace and must travel to her realm at the end of the world to retrieve it and save the life of his childhood friend Prince Proteus.

Director: Kevin Reynolds | Stars: Kevin Costner, Jeanne Tripplehorn, Dennis Hopper, Tina Majorino
Votes: 210,006 | Gross: $88.25M
Action: 4/5 Romance: 4/5 Personal: 3/5 For some reason the couple parts ways at the end of the movie which in my opinion ruins the story and character development, but if you can accept this: Pretty sweet romantic epic adventure with lots of action and amazing art.
27. Killer Klowns from Outer Space (1988)
PG-13 | 88 min | Comedy, Horror, Sci-Fi

Action: 4/5 Romance: 4/5 Personal: 4/5 A very funny horror movie about a city invaded by killer clown creatures.

Director: Zack Snyder | Stars: Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Michael Shannon, Diane Lane
Votes: 812,007 | Gross: $291.05M
Action: 4/5 Romance: 4/5 Personal: 4/5 Probably the best super hero movie for now, especially for action romance fans. Both of the lovers are highly developed and focused on. The writers were wise enough to make both of them (Kal-el and Lois) main characters for their own scenes, I think the attraction is definitely there and there are at least 3 epic romantic action sequences between them, mostly in which he saves her. *-* It's really touching to see how much she's excited by him and how much he cares for her.

Director: Elliott Nugent | Stars: Bob Hope, Paulette Goddard, John Beal, Douglass Montgomery
Votes: 3,769
Action: 3/5 Romance: 4/5 Personal: 5/5 An amazing old horror movie about a lady that gets locked at a mansion for one night with a group of possible successors for said mansion. It was hard for me to like the male lead love interest of the girl, he is very wimpy and the actor lacks any sense of attractiveness but the story is romantic nonetheless and the script and direction are simply hypnotizing. Highly recommended.
39. Mannequin: On the Move (1991)

Votes: 725,207 | Gross: $206.36M
Action: 4/5 Romance: 3/5 Personal: 3/5 The most romantic of the MCU, though that's not saying much sadly. An enjoyable super-hero epic that has some sweet romantic moments along some thrilling action sequences - only they hardly ever merge the two to make full-on romantic action sequences.
41. Green Lantern (2011)
PG-13 | 114 min | Action, Adventure, Sci-Fi

Action: 3/5 Romance: 3/5 Personal: 3/5 It's a Sci-fi drama with several seemingly unrelated stories told simultaneously, and most of them contain romance, some more some less. One of the segments is my definition of "action-romance".

Action: 3/5 Romance: 3/5 Personal: 2/5 A little like Cloud Atlas, this epic action movie has several storylines which only some of are romantic. Would've like the movie better had it focus only on those stories but still nice.

Action: 3/5 Romance: 1/5 Personal: 3/5 A fun, action-packed and colorful movie with excellent characters but not nearly enough romance as I'd wish. Still there seem to be some hints between Jack Frost and The Tooth Fairy. I hope they get a sequel and develop their relationship further. Recommended for the sake of being a greatly enjoyable film.
