The American Film Institute has various 100 great movies lists (movie, comedy, score etc). Choose a list and see how many have you seen? Too bad they don't have a TOP 100 GUN MOVIES list !!! But then the Hollyweed crowd probably would think we are all sociopaths. :)

Yet they make their money from using said guns as often and bloodily as possible in their movies!

OMG, unless I missed it, no one listed the greatest Western ever - The Wild Bunch!

The scene at the end, when Robert Ryan walks among the dead, and Pike's hand is on the machine gun, a spent 1911 on the table, and his Colt still in its holster said it all.

Path, It was #2 on my list........I could watch it over and over.........................."Let's go!"     ;)

For the Patriots of this country, the Constitution is second only to the Bible for most. For those who love this country, but do not share my personal beliefs, it is their Bible. To them nothing comes before the Constitution of these United States of America. For this we are all labeled potential terrorists. ~ Dean Garrison

Peg...I really think we just MIGHT be brothers after all.  Of course I am younger, taller, and better looking and Mom loved me best...but we have the same taste in movies.

Lonesome Dove, Rio Bravo, Big Jake, and True Grit are my faves of all time.  Pat Garrett And Billy The Kid is up there too...Peckinpah ROCKED!

And you sew better than I do, too........... ;D ....

I love True Grit.............."Fill yore hands you son ................"       ;D

You might like this video of then and now scenes from the movie......

Marshall or M'Lette, you could go through all these move threads and come up with a compilation, as my answer tried to do, and members came up with much more, that would be very cool.

NOW, new movie ( old movie ) not yet listed, 3,000 miles to Graceland. Bullets aplenty, from the bad guys, some come good guy in the end. Not really.

"Tom Cody, pleased ta meet ya."

Ry Cooder also did the music (along with Steve Vai in parts) for one of my favorite music-themed movies, "Crossroads".

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0090888/


And, there's gun-related trivia goofs:
Factual errors: At just about an hour into the film, in Crupps bar, the bartender pulls a shotgun to break up the fight. He racks the pump, because that is a sound movie audiences associate with a shotgun. The only problem is that the bartender is holding a double barrel over-under shotgun that opens up at the back, it is not a pump. And it will not make that sound.
