Most of the good ones have been said...
I liked the car park shootout from A Better Tomorrow. How about the whole movie of Mr and Mrs Smith!

Public Enemies... don't get me started on that one. The shootout at Little Bohemia was the only part of the film that didn't make me wish I was playing Pokemon on my gameboy...

Ya know what? Replace the final battle of "Saving Private Ryan" with The big shootout in "The Magnificent Seven" and my list will be perfect

I dunno if it's Top 5, but has anyone ever seen this shootout from the TV show "Millennium", Episode 3.04, "Closure":
 I remember seeing this episode was I was about 13 and thinking it was the best shootout I'd ever seen. Of course, I also hadn't seen "Heat" at the time, nor had I heard of the North Hollywood shootout, so I didn't recognize the influence. But I watched this episode again more recently when I did the page for "Millennium" and found that this shootout still holds up well for me, in spite of all the other (bigger-budget) action movies I've watched since. When you first see the two gunmen step off the bus with their riot gear on, I think it's pretty badass. Also, the sound design is excellent, so when they open fire with their XM177s, you definitely can feel the pounding of the automatic fire on your subwoofer. (Although on a side note, it's kind of ridiculous that the BGs are walking around bare-armed and none of the cops try to shoot them in the arms. Especially since the cops in this episode, unlike the LAPD in North Hollywood, have rifles.) Anyway, I would say this is one of my personal Top 5 shootouts, outside of movies that are part of the "canon" for gun enthusiasts. Last edited by MT2008; 02-13-2010 at 03:36 PM.

Here are some I like in no particular order.
The Shootist - John Wayne’s last shootout. Scarface - I Love Pacino's energy during the scene. The Way of the Gun - I thought the shootouts were pretty cool. They Live -"I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass, and I’m all out of bubblegum", enough said! The Wild Bunch - Probably the coolest cast of characters firing a countless number of rounds. The Devils Rejects - The opening shootout (The only good part of the movie IMO) The BooneDock Saints - I love when they shoot it out with Il Duce and Dafoe's line "And there was a firefight!” Platoon - The final battle. I’m surprised no one mentioned The Wild Bunch or Scarface. Last edited by Mauser; 02-14-2010 at 03:19 AM.
