Default Best gun movies

Heading to A school and want to bring some good movies. I know there was a thread on most realistic gun movies, but im looking for the most entertaining. What do you think are the most entertaining gun movies?

"The Replacement Killers" is a pretty good Chow Yun-Fat movie with high production value and lots of well-choreographed gun play. Not quite as good as the John Woo movies it rips off, but for pure fun value, it's one of the more underrated, IMO.

If you want to talk favorite John Woo movies, it's always going to be Hard Boiled.

Good movies with guns? Hmmm, let me think...

In particular order:

* Lord of War

* Predator

* Last Action Hero

* Terminator 2: Judgement Day

* Shoot 'Em Up (not a good movie but has lots of guns and shootouts)

* SWAT

* Dirty Harry

* The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

* Die Hard 1,2,3,4

* Full Metal Jacket

* Black Hawk Down

* Saving Private Ryan

* Enemy at the Gates

* Heartbreak Ridge

* The Outlaw Josey Wales

* The Boondock Saints

* Last Man Standing

* Collateral

* Collateral Damage (forgetable but fun)

* The Rundown

* The Rock

The list goes on and on...

The Killer, Hard Boiled, Children of Men(more of a drama, but with some of the most memorable camera work in recent memory showcasing epic war), Hot Fuzz(not until the end).
