The Greatest Texan Western Ever Made:
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.

You're going to the 6th Level for that, you know. That's the one reserved for heretics.

RE: movies with lots of gun play
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!

Outlaw Josey Wales, perhaps the best western ever made.
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.

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

I CAN'T BELIEVE NO ONE HAS SAID THIS.....
Arguably the best sci-fi shoot'em ups ever. "ALIENS". Second place "PREDATOR"
