How about the "Wild Geese" or the "Dog's of war"? Watching either Sir Richard Burton or Christopher Walken work an uzi is calssic movie gun-foo in my book!

Just off the top of my head and in no particular order, some of my personal favorites:

Point Break
Heat
Ronin
Miami Vice (the movie)
The Taking of Pelham 123 (the original, not the remake)
Tombstone
Aliens
King of New York
Miller's Crossing (this may actually be my favorite movie of all time)
The Usual Suspects

 

[chuckusaret]

they didn't make a lefty mosin did they?

The rifle used by Jude Law in the movie was right handed. It appears to be a lefty on the cover because the photography is a mirror image. To my knowledge no left handed mosins were ever produced.

That left handed Mosin Nagant drove me nuts, I spent hours trying to find out if they ever produced a lefty to no avail. Another thing, did the weapon have a scope? If not, why the drop bolt handle.

"Shooter" is probably the best movie that's been made in the last 10 years.

 

[lechiffre]

Point Blank. Lee Marvin packing a .44 Magnum four years before Dirty Harry. He doesn't actually shoot anyone except a bed (possibly because he's a ghost), so perhaps this is dubious, but Lee Marvin is so cool in this movie that butter wouldn't melt in his mouth. He's even cooler in the '64 remake of The Killers. So cool he blows away Ronald Reagan, who seems to be playing himself, like it's an afterthought.

"possibly because he is a ghost" or "because he possibly is a ghost" ?

doesn't he shoot carter or fairfax or brewster, or is that just mel gibson in the remake (payback) ? my dvd is 400 miles away.

Hard Boiled.

oh yeah

It's not exactly realistic, but it is flipping amazing. It would be impossible for insurance reasons for that film to EVER be made in Hollywood. Couldn't be done. Though they've tried to copy the Wu/Fat excellence many times since, they have always come up short. The on-screen body count from shootouts alone is well over two hundred, which is much higher than even the most brutal war movies. And there was no CGI, no multiple takes and no way of fixing screwups in post production. It was really combat cinema. Extras on fire, actors getting skin torn off from squibs, motorcycles flying in the air, hospitals exploding, ninjas rescuing babies. This film HAS IT ALL.

No Country For Old Men...plus you get the best 'man chased by dog' scene ever filmed.

 

[notbubba]

It's great to see Prime Cuts & Thief listed, two very overlooked movies.

Boondock Saints..............."What if it was just one guy with six guns?"

 

[renegade1alpha]

If you have not seen it, MATEWAN is a good one. Its about the war between the miners and the coal companies in West Virginia in the 1920's. the gun fiight at the end is pretty good.

"No Country For Old Men...plus you get the best 'man chased by dog' scene ever filmed"

OMG i can't believe myself and no one else thought of that. one of the best films ever made.

 

[CoRoMo]

I've never seen it, but a lot of members here used to endlessly rave about the Firefly series.

 

[DeathByCactus]

Heat - Bank robbery scene (possibly the most badass firefight ever...)
Anything in shooter (love the video game style approach)
Punisher Warzone

I just watched "The Way of the Gun" again, and it never dissapoints, also the old Steve McQueen, movie- "The Getaway", not the remake with Baldwin.

The archives are full of threads talking about movies. While they're fun discussions, they don't really have much to do with THR's stated purpose of furthering the RKBA and safe usage of firearms.
