    Best ever shootout scene in a film

    (I saw this on Twatter and thought it might throw up some good stuff on here)

    It's gotta be Heat:



    Its predecessor LA Takedown not quite in the same league...

    Yeah, pretty good.

    Watched it a few times.

    So many great shootout scenes .

    My earliest favourites are

    The Magnificent Seven
    Butch Cassidy and the Sundance kid

    The final scene of Platoon takes some beating.

    I'm not normally into shootout films, but the Heat scene takes it to another level after a classic build up throughout the film with De Niro and Pacino.

    This was the LA Takedown one by Michael Mann:

    Isn't that a couple of shootings rather than a shootout?

    Unlike Americans, it's fantasy for those of us who exist in the civilised world, so, yeah, um, fire away with your suggestions.

    Agreed, it is one of my all-time favorite movies.

    John Woo movies have some pretty cool shootouts too but no on Heat's level...





    Scarface...



    Sicario. A must watch movie if you have not seen it...

    I will always look back on the 90s with rose-tinted glasses, but it was some decade for films.

    Especially the early part:

    Cape Fear
    Misery
    The Silence of the Lambs
    Goodfellas
    Point Break
    Pulp Fiction

    Etc

    I agree with all those, but I would add;

    fight club
    reservoir dogs

    Sure I will think of more.

    Google 90s films. It's ridiculously good.

    Con Air is another

    Well well well, another Sunday, another couple of new Hal threads and a last poster on all football threads.

    Can only mean 2 things....United won and some East European liquor store will have had another flying start on the Sabbath.
