Leon/The Professional
Open Range
Tombstone
Silverado (love that pair of Henries)
Those are just some ones that I don't think were mentioned yet (or maybe I just missed them). Add those to BHD, Heat, Saving Private Ryan, Band of Brothers etc...

I can't believe nobody's mentioned The Mummy. Aint nothing as classy as a lever-action shotgun and a matched set of parked 1911s. Classy. And it is one of my lifelong goals to one day possess a large canvass roll of old guns, ammo, and the like.

What about "Windtalkers"....no true 1911 fan would be without it.
Steven Segal movies are good if you have a brain fart and can't decide what to rent.
Underworld had some cool stuff...they even remembered to put the brass casings on the groud.
Open Range and Black Hawk Down are the top 2 for realism.
Formula 51...or was it 54....I can't remember. Awsome movie for fans of the CZ83....made me want to buy one.

I don't know about Open Range being tops for realism.. Like the guys flying ten feet back when getting hit with the shotgun? I don't care if he was giving them both barrels...maybe it was even a 10 gauge but still...it just doesn't happen...or how about Costner fanning off 10+ shots without reloading? I really enjoyed it and all but just didn't find it all that realistic.

I can't believe all of you
you missed the one and only
Best movie ever...Outlaw Josey Wales. "You gonna pull them pistols or whistle Dixie?"
The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly.
Sergio's movies were hokey but the camera work was superb.
About anything else by Clint Eastwood.
Also rans
Sniper
Quigley
Enemy at the Gates
Saving Private Ryan (Bumpkin with the scoped sniper rifle )
Die Hard
Platoon
Full Metal Jacket
True Grit (That's bold talk for a one-eyed fat man)

Don't forget Tombstone....(talk about never reloading) and Wyatt Earp by both Kevin Costner AND Kirk Douglas....I like Douglas's the best.
"NOW DRAW THAT SMOKE WAGON AND GO TO WORK!!!"---------Wyatt Earp.

Norwegian,
Thanks for the tip on the name, not being able to recall it had been bugging me for a long long time.
Open Range - good fight at the end but a lot of contrived gun hadling throughout. It was so long and cheesy that my senses were highly deadened by the time the emotional cowboy talk ended and the bullets started flying. Good fight though - I liked the shooting through wood stuff.
I now have a lot more movies to look for and put my dear wife through - it's all part of my desensitization plan

As if my sig line didn't give this one away already....I'm surprised no one has mentioned "Boondock Saints "
If you have not seen it, go rent it...now! Go on....I'll wait.
Seriously, it's a "cult flick" on the order of "Pulp Fiction".
Check it out!

Gotta get in my vote for The Outlaw Josey Wales.
"Them poor pilgrims from Kansas.They don't look so proud now."
Also a vote for Quigley Down Under.
"Said I never had much use for one.Never said I did'nt know how to use it."

Josey is a good'n alright,
A man that carries four pistols and a long range rifle is worth watching.
I'll echo Leon, Once Upon a Time in the West and My Name is Nobody. I dug the gun handling in LA Confidential. The final shootout is very satisfying. I own and watch Quigley often. Three Thousand Miles to Graceland competes with Scarface and Matrix for my favorite over the top gunfights. The 1st Death Wish was a good movie imo, but my fav Bronson staring role was Death Hunt. It's a great shoot 'm up.

My favorites:
The Outlaw Josey Wales
Pale Rider (spare cylinders on his belt for the 1858 Remington Army!)
LA Confidential (tons of old Colts and Ithicas)
The Mummy (a double shoulder rig of French Ordinance Revolvers, the 1897 Winchester and the aircraft Lewis Gun!!!!)
I think that 'Aliens' deserves mention too. Where else are you going to see a S&W 39, HK VP70s and an Ithica Stakeout in a flap holster rubbing shoulders with Pulse Rifles and Smart Guns!!

I was impressed with
Blackhawk Down
Tears of the Sun
We were Soldiers
Last Man Standing
Saving Private Ryan
Lost Battalion - excellent WWI weapons
Le Femme Nikita
Savior (this is the Bosnian/Serbian war movie with Dennis Quad)
And Tomb Raider, fantasy, but what great guns...
Most listed are war movies. I have not seen Enemy at the Gates but need to with my recent intro to C&R rifles.

I see a bunch of my favorites listed...
Josey Wales, the Trinity movies, We Were Soldier, Private Ryan.....
There's another that's not listed that you guys might like if you get a chance to see. It's a series I saw a couple of years ago on PBS called "Sharpe". (Yeah, it was on PBS, but it was damn good.) It's about a leader of some of Wellington's sharpshooters during the Napoleonic wars.
