Good Gun Based Movies?

Hi guys,

My friend and I really like action movies that have lots of gun sequences in them. I was wondering if you guys could mention any, it seems like we've seen most of them. Examples of ones that we've really liked include:

- Heat
- Boondock Saints
- The Usual Suspects
- LA Confidential
- Enemy at the Gates

Just a short list, there are ton more that we've seen and liked. Just looking for some more. War movies are okay but were not as crazy about them.

Thanks guys!

"The Untouchables" came to mind, although I'm not sure it's what you might be looking for...still, great flick...and some sweet gun sequences. Have you seen it?

Yep, seen it. We liked it, maybe not as much as some of the others but definately a good flick.

Last Man Standing and Hard Boiled come to mind. They are not very good movies as wholes, but the gun sequences alone make them worth watching.

Way Of The Gun with Ryan Felipe and Benicio Del Toro.

Saw all of them. Bruce Willis' endless bullet magazines in Last Man Standing was...interesting. Hard Boiled was pretty decent though.

Way of the Gun was really good though, liked that one. The scene at the end of the movie with the shotguns made it worth watching.

Anyways, I appreciate the help so far guys. Any more?

I agree with Last Man Standing- those were some intense gun battles Willis had. (well I say battles but it was kind of one-way traffic for him really).

Equilibrium they use a martial arts type of fighting thats based on gun combat.

Seen that one as well, like I said were running out of options but not ready for the ride to be done yet. 🙂 Any movies that didn't get as much publicity maybe?

Hard Boiled

Why hasn't anyone mentioned Dear Wendy?

I was thinking about it, but I was under the impression we were recommending action films.

I've only really skimmed through the thread and it appears to be more action based. I thought what SoCalLove meant was films centering around guns. Otherwise shouldn't the title of the thread be 'Good action-based movies'?

Like I said, I only skimmed through it. I just thought the title of the thread was odd.

Haven't seen Dear Wendy but what's it about? I could be interested...

Lord of War (not an action movie per se, but has lots of guns)

Tombstone

The original Matrix

Predator

Running scared is good one. The whole premise of the movie starts with the stealing of a gun. Then they are plenty more shootings, some which include shotguns... Overall its a good movie to me.

Yup, Running Scared is another good one.
