Try Open Range. Great gunfight toward the end.

Handguns? You should definitely watch Collateral. And Heat, even though there are also a lot of rifles, but most importantly they are both great movies:D
And Léon.
But I must warn you, it will be hard not to buy a USP after seeing Collateral...

Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man? (horrible movie but some wild gunplay).
Desperado with Antonio Banderas (also the coolest knife vs gun fight EVER, Danny Trejo ROCKS!)
My all time favorite, "The Gauntlet" with Clint Eastwood.
A bazillion rounds fired into a house until it collapses and then the end where he's running that bus down the gauntlet to reach the courthouse...wow!

Let's see here...
Collateral - Edit- Scratch this one. Already mentioned.
Heat - Edit- Scratch this one too. Already mentioned.
All the Lethal Weapon movies.
Both Resident Evil movies ( The 3rd one should be along shortly. Heh.. guns and zombies... plus Milla Jovovich. Tough to beat that.)
The Transporter, 1 and 2.
UltraViolet ( More Milla, lots of guns... Strange guns, but guns just the same. And swords... )
Both Underworld movies.
Rundown ( But mostly toward the end )
Mr. & Mrs. Smith
Will that do for a start?

Don't forget "Assissins" with Sylvister Stalone, Juila Roberts and Antonio Banderas speaking of whom was the star of "Desparado" and it's sequal "Once Upon A Time in Mexico". If you like westerns there is "The Quick and the Dead" with Gene Hackman & Sharon Stone not to be confused with a film of the same name (Based on a Louis LaMore novel) with Sam Elliot and Kate Capshaw. Then there is Aaanold in "Total Recall" or "True Lies"

Oh, a couple of others that I'm not sure count as "gun" movies, but they're damned good and do have a bit of gun play in them:
The Bourne Identity and The Bourne Supremacy.

Once Upon a Time in the West - The movie epitome of the suspensful western gunfight, especially the first scene where Charles Bronson outdraws three guys.

True Romance, if only for the line of dialogue by Christian Slater's character, "If there's one thing this last week has taught me, it's better to have a gun and not need it than to need a gun and not have it." He carries what appears to be a 2 1/2" Smith Model 66, if I remember correctly.
The Getaway, the original with Steve McQueen, for the great riot gun action.

Dude, rent "Mean Guns", with Christopher Lambert.
The whole freakin' movie is one big gun fight.
Literally.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119642/
If I could find it at Wally World, I'd drop $9.99 on it, hell, maybe even $13.99, but not a penny more. It wasn't that good, despite being one big gun fight.
Oh, and the mambo soundtrack kicks butt. I guess some hitmen have eclectic taste.
BTW, to whomever mentioned "Assassins" with Sly and Antonio, are you sure that was Julia Roberts?
Edit: It was Julianne Moore. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0112401/

The Wild Bunch.
"Heat" is good. Bullitt is superb- Steve McQueen in the Getaway (another great movie made in Texas) is absolutely the best. He shoots a Winchester pump and a 1911. Very well.
Just saw Quick and the Dead by mistake the other night....maybe I was just disgusted at the plot and editing mistakes...didn't notice the gun handling.
Interesting that anyone should mention a movie where outsiders come to town and kill the elected city, county, and law enforcement officials, after declaring their intention to do just that....and are recognized as heroes and liberators: Open Range. A very radical movie.
Enemy at the Gates is OK. Last of the Mohicans has realistic shooting. (Nice follow-through with a flintlock)
The worst? Anything with John Wayne, who handled a gun like a frying pan, The Billy-Bob Alamo, (what a wimpy shooter...and he is supposed to be Crockett! Blasphemy!)

EXTREME PREJUDICE 1987
Nick Nolte, Powers Booth & a bunch of other 80's era actors. I really enjoyed watching Rip Torn wield a long barreled model 1897 Winchester shotgun. There's also a cool scene in a Mexican village where a bunch of bandidos are partying in the streets either carying an AK or AR. The last shoot out resembled the final scene from The Wild Bunch. If you're a fan of that movie, you gotta check this one out.

Check out Shooters. Not to be confused with the new Wahlberg movie. Shooters is a British gangster movie with a pretty good shoot out at the end. I think a BHP is used. Don't buy this one though, just rent it.
Anybody mention King of New York with the car chase scene towards the end?

I just saw Blood Diamond last night...It was a bit long, but the end brought it all together and made me enjoy it.
Lord of War was absolutely awesome! Even if you thought the movie was boring(which I didn't) what Nick Cage says to Ethan Hawk at the end of the movie makes it all worth while...great movie.

LONESOME DOVE
Gus MacRae rides into Blue Duck's camp to rescue Lorena from the injuns, and commences to blast 6 or 7 hostiles from a'horseback (he CARRIED a Walker Colt in the movie, but in THAT scene he used a Colt 1860 Army).
Also worth mentioning was when he shot Monkey Jim through the belly with his Henry from EXTREME range while Monkey Jim did a chicken dance in front of his own "buffler gun" with which he had been banging away at Gus through the afternoon. The chuckle Gus let out after giving him a new belly button was classic.
Then again when he dropped the injun from his saddle with a casual his shot as he rode down on him with a lance.
Gus ROCKS!

I vote for Apocolypse Now. Other movies fail to meet these requirments..
Directed by the same person that directed The Godfather series./ check
Given a "Unexeptable" rating by the American Humane Association for showing a live water buffalo being slaughtered by Cambodians./ check
Shows a Vietnamese women being wasted by an m60 when running twards a box of puppies./ check
Shows Charle Sheen ACTUALLY drunk and breaking a mirror with his hand and ACTUALLY bleeding./ Check.
When all these requirements are met it makes for a pretty damn good movie.
:cool:

I'm reading and reading and I'm thinking No one said Apocolypse? Then BAM, tho it is Martin Sheen but is young enough to look like Charlie.
Both "Bad Boys" movies "Pulp Fiction" "Training Day" near the end.

Oh ya, The Duke's gun handling in "The Green Berets" he carries the M16 upside down, and the toy one when he breaks it accross the tree.
Also the "Postman" has a lot of CARs

These days, just about every lame ass Hollywood movie has some gun play. Personally I prefer movies with a good plot and decent acting.

"Montana" with Stanley Tucci as gang boss. Lots of gunplay and at least 50 gratuitous hosings. What a romance story. Joe
