    The gunfight at the railway station in the Untouchables is great. I have to admit, you got most of mine BKB.

    For me, Heat, absolutely. Best 'shoot out' I've seen, before or after.

    On a lighter note there is an excellent spoof of a gunfight in a UK TV series names Spaced (second series). Try and find it... it will make you laugh.

    Not too many westerns here. How about the three way stand off with the music boxes in, IIRC, a Fistful of Dollars?

    (Showing his age...)

    (My mistake. Its in for a few dollars more.)

    3,000 miles to graceland has some good shootout senes in it.

    The casino and the shotout with the swat team at the end is good. Plus it has Kurt Russell and an evil Kevin Costner

    I agree Heat is one of the best and Also Scarface

    3,000 miles to graceland is a great film. The bit when Costner is doing that questionaire makes laugh man.

    My fave gunfight scenes in movies...

    Scarface (Tony Montana kicks butt)
    Leon (Nuff said)
    Desperado
    The Crow (I just really like that meeting room shootout)
    Government Lobby in The Matrix
    Or Just about any John Woo film...

    I have just one to add:
    Unforgiven (Clint Eastwood)
    A great western and a great movie, with a terrific bar shoot out in the end.

    Face/Off is good but really if you watch a John Woo film. Don't expect realism
    Expect lets of Over the Top explosions. (I laughed at windtalkers. The Tommy gun rounds hitting the ground look like 20mm AA shells )
