(I guess I'm showing my age!) Do yourself a favor and watch The Wild Bunch.

 

I would say "Heat" as well. Best scene in the world.
Since that one is stated, I'll have to say a close second is "Boondock Saints" between the three and 'El Duce' (the dad with 6 guns)

 

The beach scene in Apocalypse Now, especially on the DVD when Capt. Willard steals Col. Kilgore's surfboard.

You can't beat Heat for the bank scene.

Ronin also had some pretty good ones.

The whole movie We We're Soldiers was all one big shootout.

 

Probably "Whiskey for my men, beer for my horses". Ted Nugent stands over a guy discharging two Tech-9s into the air and just showering the bad guy with spent brass. A god-like display of power.

Hard Boiled, just for the sheer variety and volume.

 

The Lobby shootout in The Matrix.

 

Thank God - I was about to come unglued on the fact that a movie list of SHOOT OUTS that DIDN'T include a John Woo movie. THANK YOU BENNING!

Hard Boiled definitely

Heat bank scene definitely

Black Hawk Down - Pretty much the whole Ridley Scott masterpiece. However, when Shugart and Gordan go in.....

The Crow - When Brandon Lee utters the words "You're ALL going to die"

Tears of the Sun - When they demonstrate the "Australian Peel" towards the end of the movie.

Last Man Standing - The girl recovery scene

Nice One....

 

I like the sceans in Shooter

 

A poetry reciting emo in your favorite gun scene? I weep for the future.

 

Are you kidding me? At the time that movie came out, and Brandon had just died, that movie was EPIC. $94 Million in tickets on a $15 Million dollar budget?!

There was no "EMO" at that time - there was loss over a gifted and talented actor who was the son of a martial arts legend that was ALSO lost early, and also while filming a movie.

And don't you worry about the future with me in it - I will be the one uttering those lines to several of the Space Zombies LONG before they get me....

 

The street shootout in Heat is awesome!

+100 on Shugart and Gordon. Those two HEROES took it to the skinny's in one of, if not the most epic battle in recent times.

 

+100 JD. i agree that movie is the best movie in my opinion. the things they did to finish it after he died. i think you can see the bullet that hits him in the scene.

 

heat
band of brothers- when they land on the beach in the beginning
planet terror
when trumpets fade
tears of the sun
man there is just to many to name

 

SOME of the aforementioned, plus:

Proof of Life when the support team opens up with the saw

Dog Soldiers (a british werewolf flick, worth a look)

Red Dawn - the ambush in the snow

Tombstone - scene at the river

The Final Option - the entry scene

Navy Seals (OK a stinker I know) the Beirut shootout, 'specially the RPK

Platoon - a few scenes

 

What??? No 'Young Guns' when they are trapped in the lawyer's house? Awesome!

 

how could i forget this one mr and mrs smith, JD how did you not call this one your gf is in it

 

Most of "We Were Soldiers"

You know a good shootout is going to happen when it's preceded by the line "Gentleman. Prepare to defend yourselves!"

 

I did forget about it - but I have to admit the final gunfight scene wasn't that great - though the music was a nice touch....

Thin Red Line - Sweet Jesus, halfway through that piece of crap I was looking for a rifle to wipe the rest of those guys out just to end MY suffering....
