Top 5 gun guy movies

[Mark W.]

MY GAWD no one mentioned OPEN RANGE one of the most accurate gun fights ever filmed. From the use of the Guns to the actual Guns being used. The reloading and of course the results of a hit.

Shotgun through the side of the store completely blowing the guy walking outside away and the way the nerves cause his leg to shake.

MY GAWD no one mentioned OPEN RANGE

Probably because of the horrible performance by Kevin Costner - quite possibly the WORST actor who ever became 'artificially' famous in modern times....

 

[Mephistopheles]

LORD OF WAR Anti gun message built on the lives of several gun runners combined into one guy. Good film

 

[FireArm]

Red Dawn
Heat

Inception
Saving Private Ryan

The Town
Ronin
the way of the gun
Dirty dozen

Wicks for sure(watching chapter 2 presently)

Patton is my fav WW2 flick, or maybe Big Red 1, or Enemy at the gates, saving private ryan..IDK? Can't pick..

The A-Team...they fly a tank for crying out loud!(and Jessica Biel)

Lone Surviver because I LOVE the Mk 12

Shooter (two Marky Mark movies in a row)

Boondock Saints 1&2

Shoot em up... aka the real "adventures in babysitting"

Firefly/Serenity's Steampunkish guns

Red Dawns for sure although little bro in the new one is a terrible actor

Rambos... That .50 scene in 5 is brutal!

Expenables 1,2&3 have to be in there

and 5th but not least... Tremors. Because Burt Gummer!

Is that 5 yet?
I could go all day

Burt Gummer and the Boondock Saints are hard to beat.

The Wild Geese - great story and a noteworthy cast. It's also one of my favorite training scenarios.

John Wick Series
Dirty Harry Series
The Pacific/Band of Brothers
The Magnificent Seven

Anything by John Milius--he was a Gun Guy and tried to keep the Reel as Real as he could.

You original Red Dawn fans can thank him.

I'm not much of a movie guy an the all too frequent firearms inaccuracies annoy me (like the 1903A3 that shows up in the Wild Bunch) but i liked these:
The Wind and the Lion
1898 Krags, 1897 Win riot gun, 1895 Colt potato digger MG and Marines, OORAH!

Sand Pebbles
1903 Springfield and Browning Automatic Rifle.

 

[DeanfromOregon]

El Mariachi and Desperado

The Gauntlet. Not for any other reason other than they shot down the entire house.

 

[MountainBear]

The Ghost and the Darkness is also an excellent choice, but it made me want a Lee Speed Sporter. Probably have to build one...

 

[USMC-03]

The Wind and the Lion
1898 Krags, 1897 Win riot gun, 1895 Colt potato digger MG and Marines, OORAH!

One of my favorites.

If i recall rite, Movie name was Last Man Standing, Where bruce willis shot a ton of 1911 ammo, And killed this whole gang because they broke the wind shield in his model a.

 

[simplypete]

I'd say....for flicks with guns and a plot that will entertain you....
Tae Guk Gi (Korean War)

I watched that movie today. Wow, good flick.

I loved Zulu until I actually was in combat. (Actually I still love Zulu.) The problem with war movies is that everyone and everything is just too "bubblegumming™" clean all the time. People staggering around with their arms blown off and all the muscles, veins, and tendons hanging down from their shoulders like D-day in Ryan or scenes from the Pacific are all well and good but what we really need are some graphic shots of guys with their torso muscles, abs, and genitals all missing from the effects of artillery or landmine concussion.

The sort of shots that would show their exposed hips, pubic bones, ribcages, and yellow and purplish small and large intestines hanging out all over the place while the corpsman tries to shove some of it back in place. Plus smell-o-vision with plenty of gun smoke, blood, and leaking excrement or other half digested stuff filling everyones nostrils.

In war far, far more people, civilians and soldiers alike, die or are maimed from artillery or bombs than are shot. More graphic casualty scenes in war movies of injuries caused by high explosives would be far more realistic IMHO.

If i recall rite, Movie name was Last Man Standing, Where bruce willis shot a ton of 1911 ammo, And killed this whole gang because they broke the wind shield in his model a.

That was a fun movie. That being said, I'd love to find some of those magical single stack 1911's with flush fit mags that Bruce could shoot 30 times before reloading.

Heat (If only for the gunfight during the bank robbery)
Saving Private Ryan
Band of Brothers
Platoon
