Narrative:
We were cleared from gate terminal to runway 26 iah. As we taxied to 26 an air carrier B large transport came straight at us and was very close to hitting us. Ground told us this was an uncontrolled area and to use caution. As we taxied on towards runway 26 near taxiway southeast an air carrier B medium large transport came (headon) blasting past us. Again whoever has the most guts obviously then just let her roll. Now to make matters worse several aircraft are parked along the ramp with no warning lights. This is unsafe having commercial aircraft play chicken at night with dark unmarked aircraft spaced out along the ramp.
