Some excellent action when the Boers attack the British fort in Breaker Morant. Simply a brilliant movie all around. If you haven't seen it, seek it out. You'll be well rewarded.
What is Your Favorite Shootout in a Movie?

1. Armored car shoot-out in HEAT (I have friends in the shadow world who say that shoot-out puckers 'em up every time they see it)
2. Closing shoot-out in MIAMI VICE (was the first police sniper shot with a SIG-SAUER Blazer???)
3. Finale of WAY OF THE GUN (especially Benitio Del Toro's flawless tactical reload)
4. James Caan's classic GUNSITE-style house-clearing sequence in THIEF
5. The gigantic cowboy shoot-out in OPEN RANGE (especially Kevin Costner's first shot)
6. Just for fun, John Woo's classic A BETTER TOMORROW (YING HUNG BOON SIK), which features more bullets and blood than two years worth of Hollywood movies.
7. Final shoot-out in THE REPLACEMENT KILLERS, where A BETTER TOMORROW star Chow Yun-Fat proves he is, indeed, the coolest man on earth.
8. Church wedding shoot-out in KILL BILL 2...Uma Thurman...sigh...

Toss Up
between the last gunfight in "Unforgiven" and the scene in "Platoon" where Charlie Sheen and the rest are being overrun. BTW, I love those old classic M-16s..

Open Range & Lethal Weapon (the original)
I rented Open Range after so many of you said nice things about it and I have to agree that it was awesome...but Wild Bunch still reigns supreme on my list. I'm definitely buying a copy of it though for my personal collection.
In the original Lethal Weapon, the desert "hostage exchange" with Mel Gibson on the ridge behind some vegitation with a 7.62mm Galil sniper rifle (?) picking off the bad guys one by one as they look around in horror is one of my favorites. It would place higher on my list though if the skinny teenager they are trying to save would shut up and stop the fake screaming.

The Patriot where Mel Gibson arms his sons to rescue their brother, Heath Ledger. It was worth it just to see anti-gunners plotz because somebody gave guns to some kids!

Lots of good movies here. I don't think anybody's mentioned "Pale Rider." Not particularly realistic, but then the whole movie hints at being possibly a bit supernatural. Those old percussion revolvers are just so graceful...

Big Jake
How about the last shootout in "Big Jake"? Yeah, you got me, I'm a major Duke fan...

Did anyone here get dragged to see the movie "Cold Mountain" by their wife/gf?
Kind of a chickie flick, but some interesting combat scenes. The the union mining of the rebel trench got me to thinking of WWI and the lessons no one learned from the Civil War.

is it Big Jake where his one Continental type son had the French Semi Auto... it is then picked up by his competent son and put to thourough use in the last scene. I do love that shootout.
Ronin is one of my favorite movies for the locations, actors and story.
I like the scene from the Untouchables on the US-Canadian border... great Tommy Gun and Shotgun work.
48 Hours, Ganz blowing away from the bus with that big .44 mag and Nolte powering back with the borrowed 1911
From The Eagle is Down, the initial scene in and around the village with the German paratroopers versus the bivouaced US forces. Good stuff going on there. Great small unit stuff and a real sense of the confusion of a small unit encounter.
I am a big fan of all battle scenes in, Private Ryan, Tripoli with a real young Mel Gibson in WWI and A Bridge to Far.

Cold Mountain did have a few cool shooting scenes. It remains the only film I've seen where someone was shot point-blank with a LeMat revolver/shotgun.
Oh, soundtrack was awesome too. If you're interested in trying out that style of acapella singing, check out www.fasola.org. There's probably a open-to-all singing group in your area.
The film Cold Mountain also had some cool shots of CQB with breech-loading single shot carbine...

One of my three favorite westerns, along with Tombstone and The Outlaw Josey Wales.
A friend of mine actually used Richard Boone's "My fault, your fault, nobody's fault" line on a drug dealer at college. It got the desired reaction too!

It's supposed to be a Danish Bergmann 6.5mm auto that loads with en bloc clips like a Garand or Mannlicher rifle. In fact, it's a modified Walther P-38.

The Killer, another Cho Yun Fat film, sometimes found in two-pack with Hardboiled.
Gunfighter's Moon with Lance Hendrickson
Broken Arrow, with John Travolta and Christian Slater.

Support Your Local Sheriff, the shootout at the end. It may not be the best but it was the funniest.

Someone mentioned the lobby scene in The Matrix.
How about the scene in Matrix Reloaded, where Neo is at The Merovingian's estate, facing off against all the henchmen with FA SMG's, they unload on him FA, and he just stops hundreds of bullets and lets them fall to the ground? Not really a gunfight but it is just cool to watch. Of course the freeway chase scene was pretty good too. The Twin's HK seems to have certain cinematic ammo rules applied to it because it fires like 400 rounds before going empty.
