Best Gun Movies

Post by rstick »

I'm trying to fill my Blockbuster queue and thought about putting movies related to firearms. Some obvious come to mind but I was wondering what everyone else might recommend.

Dirty Harry and The Matrix are two that come to mind.

--Gran Torino--

Not to many shots fired but Clint Eastwood played the hell out of his part and was put into more than a couple situations where a firearm bailed him out. On a scale of 1-10 i give it a strong 11 :pistol:

"Wanted" was a pretty cool newer movie that I would recommend.

I'm a fan of Shooter... :sniper:

Don't forget Pale Rider. I've always wondered what kind of gun he used in the final scene. That was the revolver with the interchangeable cylinders, which he had several pre-loaded on his gun belt.
