The Way Of The Gun.
Came out in 2000, starring Ryan Phillipe, Benicio Del Toro & Juliette Lewis.
Two outstanding scenes: One involving a "Mexican stand-off" with about 6 gun-men & a pregnant Juliette Lewis caught in the middle of the potential gunfire. The 2nd scene is one of the slowest & funniest car chase scenes ever filmed...intense yet hilarious to watch.
What makes this movie in my top 20 is how both Del Toro & Phillipe's characters have very little to say to eachother, a glance, a grunt or a nod of the head & the other knows what's about to go down.
Watch it. Watch it again.

I saw it on my first date with my girlfriend. It's good. Perhaps a bit meloadramatic, but if you're interested in civil rights issues, then I think you'll find it pretty moving. I liked it. Emma Stone is a charming actress, too. My girlfriend works as an au pair (which is basically a nanny), so she takes care of a family's baby. She is basically "The Help" for that family to some degree, so I think she found it quite moving.
(She's the sweetest thing ever... 😍 )
