    We Were Soldiers with Sgt. Maj. Basil Plumley and his 1911.

    Here's a nice list of movies with the 1911... http://www.imfdb.org/index.php/1911

    Red Heat. There are several members of a black gang all armed with identical 1911A1s.

    Besides the obvious war movies like We Were Soldiers and Saving Private Ryan, I would like to add Ronin. Can't remember exactly if it's seen in the movie, but DeNiro has best line about it near the beginning...I'll try to find and post.

That they are not to be violated but with His wrath? Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just: that his justice cannot sleep for ever."--Thomas Jefferson

    He pulls it out and shoots it under the bridge, when they are buying guns. That is a good movie.

    Just remembered "Gladys" in Sin City.

    hard to pick just one.

    Oh I'd pick two.

    Last Man Standing - Bruce Willis carries two of them.

    Heat - Al Pacino carries an officers Model 1991.

    "Zombieland" Woody Harrelson shooting the mass of zombies from the amusement park booth. Freakin' hilarious!

    Well, not a movie but from a series: The "Vegas" episode of Stargate Atlantis where Shepard pulls an ultimate stainless 1911 from his glove box.

    Thumbs up

    The Way of the Gun

    Both main characters use 9x19 Government Series 70 pistols. I particualry like the big shoot out scene where Rhan Phillippe carrys a bag full of mags with him. Lots of reloading which is much more realistic than the usual movie gun that never runs dry.

    Face/Off

    Gotta love Nicholas Cage's twin, gold plated Springfield Armory V-10 pistols, especially with that twin, SOB rig he carries them in. Vented barrel, 10+1 capacity pimped to the max!

    The gun play was unrealistic for the most part, but still fun to watch. It's a 1920's tale of "fist full of dollars" and "yojimbo" both of which I haven't seen in years...

    The Lost Battalion with Rick Schroeder. A WWI story that got shelved between the world wars and not made into a movie until 40+ years after WWII.
