Movies about guns

[wobble]

I've seen or know about movies whose titles were the names of guns and wonder how many there have been. Also movies that were essentially about guns, although the title might not include the gun's name? And how about TV shows that "starred" guns?

My list is short. Can you add to it?

Springfield Rifle (1952) - Gary Cooper
Winchester '73 (1950) - Jame Stewart
Colt .45 (1950) - Randolph Scott

Quigley Down Under (1990) - Tom Selleck - Sharps rifle
Dirty Harry (1971) - Clint Eastwood - S&W Model 29 .44 Magnum
Enemy at the Gates (2001) - Jude Law & Ed Harris - Mauser and Mosin-Nagant sniper rifles
Sniper (1993) - Tom Berenger - many guns "star" in this movie
Pale Rider (1985) - Clint Eastwood - many guns "star" in this movie

The Rifleman (TV 1958-1963) - Chuck Connors - modifed Winchester 1892
Wanted Dead or Alive (1958) - Steve McQueen -sawed off Winchester '92

I don't know any but thanks for the info for some good movies

 

[TNT in Round Rock]

no gun in the title but "Shoot 'Em Up" with Clive Owen. Probably features more weapons in one movie than most. Some concept handguns too. Absolutely crazy over the top no way that's ever gonna happen action .. and I loved every minute of it !

Heat with Al Pacino. Tjere was a lot of hardware in the movie, but the 5.56 Daewoo stands out in my mind
Terminator 2: Beretta 92, Winchester '87, M1911, AR, GE Minigun, M79 Grenade launcher

Escape from New York: Innumerable ARs, MAC-10

Public Enemies: Innumerable '28 Thompsons, 1911, Mannlicher Schonauer, BAR, Colt+S&W double action revolvers, and some kind of fully auto backup gun I couldn't identify

Harley Davidson and The Marlboro Man: Steyr AUGs, Desert Eagle, and a revolver whose nomenclature I don't recall.

Total Recall: I remember a pump shotgun and Calico products

That's what comes to mind in about 30 seconds... Heard of IMFDB?

 

[wobble]

Yeah, www.imfdb.org is a great web site for movie/gun fans.

I think a movie only about guns would be very boring. I'm not talking documentaries.

All the movies mentioned do have guns in them but there is a lot more to the story than guns.

if this isn't about guns there is nothing else that is.

The 50's movie "Annie Get Your Gun" about sharpshooter Annie Oakley and her .22 rifle. I can't recall the make and model.

Edit:

Annie Oakley gets my nomination as the "Best Rifle Shooter," and also as "Best All-Around Shooter," as she was an outstanding shot with the shotgun and revolver as well as the rifle. She used all three in her famous shooting demonstrations. Annie used a Marlin lever action .22 rifle for much of her trick rifle shooting, very similar to the Model 39 still made today. Almost as famous in Europe as she is in America, where she was friends with many of the titled heads of state, Annie Oakley's feats with firearms are legendary. This small woman was a sensation in her day, and possibly the best rifle shot who ever lived. Annie Oakley, of course, was active before and after the turn of the 20th Century

Marlin 39a wasn't it?


Whoops... never mind

 

[heviarti]

OMS I want one of those! If my screen wasn't three inches wide (literally) I'd read the caption.

See also the Annie Oakley anecdote in one of the 1956 issues of American Rifleman entitled 'I shot the ashes off the Kaiser's cigaret.' (sic)

Red Dawn is always a classic gun movie... lots of good commie stuff.

 

[Black Knight]

Here's an oldie, "Have Gun Will Travel". Starred Richard Boone as Paladin and he carried a handcrafted "Hamilton" (actually a Colt SAA).

 

[heviarti]

Dead Man's Gun on either HBO or Showtime. I think the pistol was a nickel plated Schofield.

 

[FenderTK421]

.45 is a B movie starring Milla Jovovich. The new Rambo had some decidedly gun porn moments. Ma Deuce scene, anyone? The Kingdom has some nice gun scenes as well. Boondock Saints has lots of Berreta-ee goodness. Last Man Standing has absolutely over the top 1911 love. Whole slew for the WW2 aficionados out there.

Nothing against it, but I couldn't get past the first five minutes without wishing I hadn't rented it, lol, it was just too ridiculous. Shooting umbilical cords? I'm out.

"The Guns of Navarone"

I think 90% of John Wayne's movies featured him with some sort of Winchester lever-action.

 

[Warhawk83]

Sniper with Tom Berrenger,is horrendously awful.


Clint Eastwood, John Wayne.

 

[KodiakBeer]

I wasn't aware "Shoot 'em up" was a gun movie. I thought it was a Brady bunch documentary.

For Mosin-Nagants there's "Winter War," "Enemy at the Gates" and "Ambush."

The Sam Fuller war movies, such as "Fixed Bayonets!" and "The Steel Helmet" are real standouts for small arms use. Indeed he chose Gene Evans as one of his main actors by tossing an M-1 carbine at him, out of the blue! Evans, who had served, instantly snatched it and instinctively chambered a round.

I think 90% of John Wayne's movies featured him with some sort of Winchester lever-action.

He favored a Winchester 92, and I believe its first appearance was in "Stagecoach" where he introduces his spin-cock (he had long arms). Of course the 92 was hopelessly anachronistic, but they didn't care much about that back in the day. And the Duke wasn't much of a gun guy himself.

The Sam Elliott and Tom Selleck westerns feature some excellent and period-correct firearms--many of which are from those actors' personal collections. Both of them are shooters in real life and know their stuff. Probably a lot more than John Wayne ever did.

 

[ccsniper]

darn it Kodiakbear, you beat me to it on the machine pistol.

 

[ccsniper]

And the Duke wasn't much of a gun guy himself

He may have not been a gun guy, but in several westerns you see him with the same rifle/pistol set up. The rifle is one the a larger loop on the lever and the pistol has yellowish grips, these are his personal firearms IIRC
