The Men's Journal "guy movies" thread motivated me to ponder the subject of "gun" movies.
Plenty of movies use guns as fashion accessories, or implements of evil, but few portray their use realistically.
These movies should be reasonably accurate in their treatment of firearms use, display good gun handling skills, accurate equipment, and certainly be entertaining and engaging, with firearms and their use a central theme.
My top 10:
1. HEAT (M.Mann)
2. WAY OF THE GUN
3. UNFORGIVEN
4. BLACKHAWK DOWN
5. MAGNUM FORCE (Dirty Harry 2)
6. THE PROFESSIONAL
7. QUIGLEY, DOWN UNDER
8. SAVING PRIVATE RYAN
9. TOMBSTONE
10. THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE UGLY

No comparison: "Siege of Firebase Gloria," followed by "We Were Soldiers," then "Magnificent Seven."
John Wayne's "The Alamo" and Chou Young Fat's "The Replacement Killers" are honorable mentions.

For some reason, the gun fights in Bonnie & Clyde, which I saw at a very young age, have always stuck with me.

Best gunfight ever:
Lee Marvin in Waterhole #3.
For those who haven't seen it the moral is: Never bring a pistol to a rifle fight.

The Wild Bunch and We Were Soldiers. Absolutely.
Band of Brothers is easily up there, I didn't include it because it's not really a movie.
No doubt it contains some of the most realistic battle sequences on film.
