I'm a big fan of Enemy at the Gates. Then I like to take my Mosin Nagant M91/30 to the range afterwards.

Open Range has an excellent running gunfight and on top of that it is a good movie , start to finish.
You've come a far piece pilgrim.

I agree with LIMB on Open Range.  I also like MOST of the gun fights in Young Guns and Young Guns II.  All three of these movies do a good job of showing that all shooting is not perfect or on target, and all shots are not instant kills. 
If I appear taller than other men it is because I am standing on the shoulders of others.

"The professional" - almost classic.
"Shoot'em up" - to relax. Gun porn by ParaOrdnance
"In Bruges" - to enjoy. You have to look this one up in some indy theaters. Not on DVD yet.

Quigley Down Under for big bore American Rifle. Or the last Dirty Harry Movie with the 44 Auto Mag.

Than again, the Magnificent 7, Saving Private Ryan for American Combat, OR any later John Wayne Movies,

Especially "The Shootist". High Plains Drifter, and of course The Good, The bad and the Ugly.
Thomas Jefferson: The strongest reason for the people to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against the tyranny of government. That is why our masters in Washington are so anxious to disarm us. They are not afraid of criminals. They are afraid of a populace which cannot be subdued by tyrants."
