Favorite Gun Movie of all time...

efendi007 · March 15, 2010, 09:16 PM

During college I had two favorite baby sitters. The first one was a six pack of Natie Light and the second was Joe Bob Briggs on MonsterVision. Many a fine evening was spent watching Reggie running around with hist trusty old four-barrel shotgun dispatching mean, little zombie midgets in Phantasm. Ahhh... those were the days.

Now, as I am sitting here, watching 3000 Miles to Graceland's scene where Murphy and his 1911 have a face-off with a state trooper and his Colt Single Action Army, I cannot but wonder what other gems might there be hiding in the cyberspace?

So, let's have 'em. C'mon and post your favorites. What is you favorite GUN MOVIE of all time. And please, feel free to be specific. Describe the scenes so we all know what you are talking about...

The Wild Bunch of course

The Outlaw Josey Wales!

Quote:

Josey Wales: Well, that one in the center: he had a flap holster and he was in no itchin' hurry. And the one second from the left: he had scared eyes, he wasn't gonna do nothin'. But that one on the far left: he had crazy eyes. Figured him to make the first move.

Quote:

Jamie: I wish we had time to bury them fellas.
Josey Wales: To hell with them fellas. Buzzards gotta eat, same as worms.

For me , it's a toss-up between "Silverado" and "Quigley Down Under".

Stiofan · March 15, 2010, 10:46 PM

My three favs are touched above: Josie Wales, Quigley and I would add Jeremiah Johnson...

He was looking for a Hawken gun, .50 caliber or better. He settled for a .30, but damn, it was a genuine Hawken, and you couldn't go no better.

Pale Rider has some pretty neat gun play work in the shootout scene too.

LA Confidential or Cross of Iron.

IDAHO83501 · March 16, 2010, 08:20 AM

For me it is a tie,,,,,,#1 Dirty Harry with his Smith .44 mag ( I realize that it was actually a .41, but for this discussion who cares ) and # 1A Jessie Ventura's Battery operated " Rail Gun " in Predator

"The Outlaw Josey Wales" of course.

Pretty much in the top 5 of my favorite movies of all time. Also is Last of the Mohicans with Daniel Day Lewis, and Rooster Cogburn.

2rugers · March 16, 2010, 11:51 AM

Hombre.
Paul Newman, 1967.

rickyjames · March 16, 2010, 12:17 PM

Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war.

probably my favorite gun movie of all time is "the dogs of war". not just for the story and the action but for the shear number of guns seen in the movie. my favorite being the Manville Projectile Launcher! now if i could add one of those to my collection..........

zombie237 · March 16, 2010, 12:28 PM

Heat. (not condoning the actions but the organization of the team was awesome)

Coltman 77 · March 16, 2010, 01:11 PM

The Wild Bunch, Ronin, Open Range, Heat, Extreme Prejudice.

ETA

Almost forgot, Public Enemies also has some great shoot-outs. Good film too.

j frame · March 16, 2010, 02:40 PM

After all these years, and countless internet discussions on the subject, why do people continue to insist that Eastwood carried a .41 Magnum instead of a .44?

TXJohn · March 16, 2010, 02:41 PM

Sniper, with Tom Berenger and the rail gun in Predator

**tyme** · March 16, 2010, 03:17 PM

Way of the Gun (with the same caveat as Heat, above).

Pinky Carruthers · March 16, 2010, 04:25 PM

Another vote for "The Way of the Gun"

"Can't you people see that there are guns here? GET THE F*** OUT!"

mapsjanhere · March 16, 2010, 04:41 PM

Jessy Ventura and the mini-gun was good, but Arnold with the mini-gun in T2 was better. If you add the M79 headshot, T2 sure is up there in gun movies for me.

Ridge_Runner_5 · March 16, 2010, 05:46 PM

The Way of the Gun was another good shootout, if only for the excellent 2-man tactics clearing the hostel and then moving in on the fountain...

ammo.crafter · March 16, 2010, 06:00 PM

Bruce Willis, "Last Man Standing" with his twin 1911's.

firespec35 · March 16, 2010, 06:17 PM

Boondock saints. The hit scene in the hotel, the scene at the hitmans cardgame and ofcourse the gunfight between dad and the boys+Rocco

I think it's because Harry said he shot .44 specials and not magnums in his Smith 29 .
