Best shootouts in movie history


Parliament

I agree that Heat is the best ever

Hon mentions:

.The baby stroller scene in The Untouchables

Not for volume, but for quality, the closing kills in both Enemy at the Gate and Hell or High Water

The snipers- FMJ, the German in SPR, and our own hero until he gets blasted by the tank also in SPR.

Danny Boy scene - Miller's Crossing

 

Man, I love that movie. And that's an incredible scene. Albert Finney puts his stogie in the nightstand ashtray and slowly slips on his slippers then quickly dives to the floor. He blows a dude's kneecaps apart then tosses the Tommy Gun out the window and follows it, somersaulting his way off the roof. He coolly unloads the gun into the getaway car all the while "Danny Boy" is playing.

Agreed.  The tension build-up in both of these gunfights is brilliant.  

 

Agreed. The prologue is as important as the fight in both cases. The epilogue was just as powerful as well. Peckinpah was brilliant.
