Once Upon a Time in West kept me up waaaay past my bedtime last night. How many great scenes in that film?

Bronson taking on Jack Elam and the gang at the depot.....

The ol' gun-in-the-boot trick Jason Robards used on the train.

Henry Fonda walking down the street as Bronson provides an overwatch (with the lovely in the bathtub...)

but nothing beats the opening scene of the little boy getting shot and then the camera panning up to reveal the heartless killer.... given away with Fonda's blue eyes. Cold.


Others I forgot (more scenes, than movies):
   Big Red One -- Where Luke Skywalker(!) just keeps blasting the German in the incinerator, finally overcoming his cowardice, as Lee Marvin keeps handing him clips.

  Snatch -- Vinnie Jones (heavily edited) -- " I notice your gun says "Replica" on the side, whereas mine says 'Desert Eagle Five-point-oh..."

  Miami Vice -- the female cop has the Aryan a-hole before her holding trudi hostage. He tells her what's going to happen and she explains..."That's not what happens. What will happen is... what will happen is I will put a round at twenty-seven hundred feet per second into the medulla at the base of your brain. And you will be dead from the neck down before your body knows it. Your finger won't even twitch. Only you get dead. So tell me, sport, do you believe that?"     Then she shoots him in mid-sentence. Almost as cold as Fonda.

   The Green Berets -- OK, this is a horribly propagandistic movie that I guiltily enjoy (up until the final scene with Wayne and ho-Chuck...) But the scene that stands out is after the big guy gets killed in hand-to-hand on the final mission. Wayne picks up the guys M16 and smashes it against a tree so the VC don't use it. The gun shatters like the Mattel plastic that Wayne (and many others) thought the gun was made of. Now, I wouldn't trade my AR for much of anything.... but if I knew I had to put a tango down in one shot, my Garand would look pretty appealing.

I could do this all day.... I need help.

Ronin

It's a toolbox. Take out what you need to do the job.

1911, old gun.
It's served my country well.

There are some great movies listed withen and I have to add "The Jackel" w/ Bruce Willis.  Some others that I liked are of course Ronin, Leon the Professional, Boondock's Saints and countless others.

And how could I forget Smoken' Aces.  Alicia Keys for the win.

Jacqueline Bisset was Bullitts Hottee, (not that there's anything wrong with catherine);
Her wet tee shirt in "The Deep" is why I still teach underwater photography...

I did not see Unforgiven listed or this one from a long time ago:
