How about the movie wanted. Angelina is so fine in that movie. They do some pretty cool gun slinging in that movie. most of its not possible but still cool.

Either I completely missed it or I am just suprised, no one mentioned Tremors. Awesome movie.

The Dogs of War. Walkens' best movie.

Definitely!! The first was the best... the second was okay... the rest... not so much.

Kind of off-beat but I caught parts of the old Sci-Fi classic Them! with James Arness and James Whitmore this morning - I love the parade of MB Jeeps going into the LA riverbed tunnels as well as all the troops shooting the Garands, .30 M1's, the Thompsons and I don't remember the designation but the miuzzle-loaded grenade launcher on the Garands.

I prefer her in Mr. and Mrs. Smith...

... and his gun room in that movie is drool worthy!

Shooter is a good one, but I am surprised no one has mentioned Tombstone.....one of my top 5 movies of all time. That is one famous Colt pistol.

"Im your huckleberry" and Doc spinning the cup, ha...classic.

Just saw Will Smith in I Am Legend and thought of this thread...

Just finished watching 28 Weeks Later... good Zombie action And the dude "scoping" the couple in the high rise... classic!!

Charlton Heston's "The Omega Man" is a classic in this genre. (I've added 28 Weeks to my Netflix cue. thanks for the tip!)

Saw Battleground the other day. 1949 B&W classic. The movies that came out when all that WW2 equipment was still around are darn authentic. You just can't duplicate that stuff.

Lock, Stock, & two smoking barrels. The name says it all.

Very true, but Band of Brothers did a damn good job as well. And the pics that I have seen of Hanks/Spielburg's The Pacific looks pretty awesome as well.

Edit: check this out for some pictures from The Pacific. Some of the B&W ones look like they really could be from the 1940's.

Another one I'll get on DVD or BluRay. BoB was excellent, but while CGI helps, I can still detect it sometimes, and it just isn't possible to make a lot of realistic iron like tanks for close up. Normally only one or two at most are ever seen at one time. Prime reason we'll never see a decent navy yarn with dozens of destroyers and destroyer escorts zooming around. I salute their efforts anyway.
The Pacific images look like they did their munitions homework. I couldn't detect any errors with a cursory look-see, and I've got a Garand, an 03 and an Arisaka to compare to!
