got a favorite gun related movie ?

[top_gizmo]

I liked the new Sniper movies.  You gotta watch all the behind the scene stuff and listen to the actual sniper talk about how he would really have taken the shot.

Heat, Collateral... Say what you will about Michael Mann, he works on gun details (i.e. using an IPSC (I think) champ as an assassin in the Miami Vice TV series.

Josey Wales for no other reason than the dialog... "You gonna pull those pistols or whistle Dixie?"

Chow Yun-Fat is pretty damn cool with those twin 92s.

The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly were Eli Wallach builds the perfect revolver by cannibalizing the gun store.

Full Metal Jacket... "This is my rifle. There are many like it, but this one is mine."

Day of the Jackal. I want a crutch gun.

The Mummy. The pair of French army revolvers Rick carries in the shoulder rig... I haven't lusted for any thing French that badly since Catherine Deneuve was Steve McQueen's girlfriend in Bullitt.

The Mummy. The pair of French army revolvers Rick carries in the shoulder rig...

Is that what they are!  I always thought they were uber cool, too!

Much searching at work one day....


French Model 1874 11MM Service Revolver. I'd have to head downstairs to the office to get the manufacturer name. Something with a "C" if I recall properly. Very distinctive underbarrel lug and lanyard ring.

Zulu (the one with Michael Caine)

The Man who would be King (also with Michael Caine, plus Sean Connery)

Both are GREAT movies, both show up a lot of old guns.

Once upon a Time in the West --- perhaps the best of the Sergio Leone spaghetti westerns ever made.
Heat
Ronin
The Untouchables -- DePalma's great scenes on the bridge, and especially in the railway station
Broken Trail --- for it's pretty terrific gun battle at the end.

Heat
Quigley Down Under
The Boondock Saints
Also, the newest James Bond is a lousy antigunner and I really despise that, but he has the best gun handling skills I've seen on any of the Bond films.

One that might not be considered a "gun movie" so much, but in which a unique gun plays a pivotal role; "BLOOD SIMPLE", it's a great modern noire mystery.

I thought the gun was a S&W snubbie, but I saw it again the other night, and it is something different. It is a small, nickle-plated, break top revolver. From the looks of it, probably .32 or .38. Unlike so many hollywood movies where sixguns seem to have unending ammunition, the reality of whether the little gun still has any rounds left is handled accurately, and becomes a key point in the story. The message of the equalizing force of a handgun is also handled in a straighforward, non-judgemental way, unlike a lot of movies.

Has anybody seen this film? Any idea what that little revolver is? It's been making me crazy trying to identify it!
