Miami Vice

Not a movie, but the Miami Vice series did it for me. Sonny Crockett pulling out his BrenTen from a shoulder holster was the epitome of cool. :cool:
 
didnt he use a SIG in the 1st episodes ?

Right you are. From www.miami-vice.org:

Sonny Crockett carried a number of different guns throughout the five season run of the popular series. In the original two-hour premier he carries a Browning BDA in .45 Auto (this is the European heel mag release version of the Sig-Sauer P220 imported by Browning). After this though, he carries a Bren Ten for the rest of the first two seasons. For the third and fourth seasons Detective Crockett switches to a Smith & Wesson 645 in .45 Auto. Then in the fifth and final season he changes once again, this time to the new Smith & Wesson 4506, also in .45 Auto. In a number of shows throughout the run Sonny is also seen carrying a .45 Detonics Combatmaster in an ankle holster

ROTFLMAO! That would have been an altogether different movie had Dorothy had a ruby-inlaid O/U on her trip down the yellow brick road, rather than ruby slippers. :D At a minimum, the lion wouldn't have gotten more than a 5-second scene. :)

He needed a big caliber to prove his manhood, what with the pink T-shirts, leather boat shoes and all. :)
 
alot of mine have been listed here allready, the westerns, preditors, terminators, and all the good WW2 movies.

another one that got me is Boondock Saints, I want twin M9s with cans, impractical I know but when I move to a free state I'll get them
 
Not a movie, but: The Rifleman. You know, Chuck Connors and all that. Oddly, I still don't have a lever-action rifle... someday, someday.

+1 on The Rifleman, and yes I still don't have that lever-action rifle, but it's on the list! :D
 
Not so much movies initially....

Was offered a 1911 for $100 and JUMPED on it.

Got great deals on SKS and Mosin M39 and Rem 870.

Want Garand badly. Also want M14 (semi version)

Band of Brothers is perhaps THE WWII movie.....
 
As for making me want to get a specific gun; Dirty Harry/M29 more than anything, and Terminator 2 made me want a SPAS 12, which is still out of my price range.

As for movies that just made me want to get guns in general; all the Stallone/Schwarzenagger(sp?) movies I watched as a kid help enamor my interest with firearms, and because of it, I am now a fully certified mall ninja.

Big Trouble In Little China and Red Dawn also get honorable mentions, and all the good Vietnam movies still make me lust for an M-60.

It seems like their was a tv show called Sledgehammer or something, about a dude who use to shower with his gun, a .44 ruger IRC, and I probably don't. MacGuyver was always a childhood favorite too, even though the only cool thing he ever did with a gun was take the cylinder out a revolver and use it to shut down a nuclear reactor before a meltdown occurred. I forgive that show's anti-gun message anyway though.
 
An Inconvenient Truth by Al Gore.....

Oh heck, I thought you asked what movie made me want to USE a gun...:evil:

Dirty Harry turned me into a revolver man from a very early age and even though I own high dollar semi's and a few "plastic" guns, revolvers still have my heart. Nothing like a simple piece of machinery made out of metal...
 
I am surprised not to see the two that hooked me.

The A-team and Magnum PI.

I always wanted a 1911 because of those two shows but I have never got around to getting one ( I just have to be different).
