I know! It was sort of anti-tragic though.The Annoyed Man wrote:terryg wrote: Plus, if you haven't seen it, you gotta love Bill Murray's character (himself), although it's kinda tragic.
How about Mr. & Mrs. Smith? Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie as assassins. They actually reload and scavenge weapons when they run out of ammo!austinrealtor wrote:If you like classic 1911s, Last Man Standing with Bruce Willis (Strong inspiration from Kurosawa's Yojimbo) . . .
Enemy at the Gates - probably best sniper movie ever made - true story (Great movie, though they did take a few liberties with the story.) . . .
SWAT - good displays of guns and tactics (Including the part where the guy continued to fire after slide lock?)
)There was the one scene where he had a table full of mags that he was reloading.Chityworker wrote:Last Man Standing with Bruce Willis sending lead throughout entire movie without ever reloading.
Purplehood, that's really interesting. Having never served myself, I don't have the background to compare the movie to reality. If you'd like to start a new thread and "go on all day" about the problems between the movie and reality, I for one would be very interested to read it.Purplehood wrote:I was simply appalled at the complete disconnect between reality and the screen in the movie, "Hurt Locker". The movie was good if you could overlook everything that happened that had absolutely nothing to do with SOP.
If I had to define the most telling defect of the movie story-line in a simple phrase, it would be "lack of Security". I could go on all day.
I've seen SWAT 3 or 4 times on cable TV only (edited version). Which part has the slide-lock shooting? Have to watch it again and see if I can spot it.HankB wrote:How about Mr. & Mrs. Smith?

Predator (Don't see many handheld miniguns these days . . .)
Tremors. (Four movies made, all are watchable. LOVE the classic scene in Burt Gummer's basement in the first movie.
The part where Hondo went against TJ. His 1911 was clearly on slide lock. Dude should have checked his magazines before he begin the match.austinrealtor wrote: I've seen SWAT 3 or 4 times on cable TV only (edited version). Which part has the slide-lock shooting?

Nut up or shut up!terryg wrote:I especially like the gritty realism of movies like:
Unforgiven
No Country old Men
But, if zombie movies can count, I just saw Zombieland a couple of weeks ago. I'm not a Woody fan, but I really liked that movie. Best line:
Just after find a large cache of weapons in the back of a Hummer: "Thank God for Rednecks!"
